Chapter 631: Chapter 631

631: Chapter 435 631: Chapter 435 People who were supposed to die suddenly became healthy, as if they had acquired a superpower that allowed them to move about energetically without eating.

Those who thought these refugees had perished, after all, the epidemic was too severe, and there was no food to feed so many of them.

“Let us out, we want to go out!”

The now healthy people banged on the place that had confined them, many working together to topple the enclosed area.

Officials who had thought these people were dead were suddenly met with the sight of them standing healthy before them.

They thought back to the events that had just unfolded, the showering of golden light, as if God had taken care of them.

They called it the power of God, surely it was divine power that helped them recover their health and restored their land to a healthy state.

The refugees found that the land outside no longer had insects and was ready for cultivation, so they chose to ask officials to distribute seeds.

They weren’t asking for food, for they didn’t feel hungry, their priority was to grow their own crops, ensuring they wouldn’t starve even when they became hungry later.

The golden insects only had the power to kill, not to heal, and certainly not the miraculous power to liberate people from hunger.

If they had such energy, it was obviously their master’s doing.

Jiang Tang hadn’t expected the insects to meddle so altruistically, with a heart like that of a compassionate Bodhisattva!

Jiang Tang didn’t even need to transfer the Vitality Flowers, healing, or Bigu Pills over long distances to those hungry refugees!

Utilizing the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space, he could transfer energy from the space’s moon or sun.

No matter how far away those insects were, even if they were tens of thousands of miles away, they could receive the power he transmitted.

It was also why these golden sprites and silver sprites had been able to play tricks on those mighty beings for so long, their power seemingly inexhaustible and not requiring rest.

The mighty beings were different; though their bodies were strong and they could go without food and follow indefinitely, they hadn’t realized that those golden and silver sprites were actually being replaced one batch after another.

Of course, Jiang Tang would charge these insects with energy using the sun and the moon inside the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space, cultivating their power and operating them in batches.

It seemed as if the sprites were toying with those mighty beings, yet it was Jiang Tang who orchestrated the operation, using a Formation he had recently learned.

These sprites were so efficient and spared him so much trouble.

Most importantly, they had tied down those mighty beings.

Seeing the gaze of one mighty being in his Flying Artifact, Jiang Tang chuckled; he had skilfully drawn the attraction of those mighty beings and lured them away.

Jiang Tang, observing the mighty being in his magical treasure, thought of new ideas.

Since he was already using his subordinates to establish a base, he still didn’t know whether his abilities were superior or inferior to those of Elder Tan from the North City Sect.

So, why not use mana to fight and play with him?

Jiang Tang knew all his abilities came from the Star-absorbing Spell; other cultivation techniques were also powerful, but what allowed such rapid growth in his abilities, besides consuming Supreme Elixirs, was the Star-absorbing Spell, which absorbed external forces.

He had previously absorbed the sun and the moon’s essence to fill his body with energy, with all five of his Spiritual Roots reaching Great Perfection: Metal Spirit Root, Wood Spirit Root, Water Spirit Root, Earth Spirit Root, and Fire Spirit Root.

Jiang Tang had already suppressed the power within his body to prevent it from ascending too quickly—he didn’t want to face the lightning tribulation over and over again.

His body was already aglow with a rainbow light filled with Immortal Qi, and he had entered the Immortal Phase, just one step away from the Divinity Transformation Stage and becoming an Immortal.

Jiang Tang decided to still seek mysteries and get his business established first.

For him, the acts of kindness he was doing now were entirely a preparation for Ascension.

Jiang Tang decided not to release Elder Tan to the outside base but to unleash him to fight within his Flying Artifact.

His flying artifact was an immortal artifact, equipped with capabilities for repelling attacks, defense, and automatic counterattacks.

Jiang Tang really wanted to just do that, to tell the people around him, including those women, not to disturb him unless it was absolutely necessary, as he had some business to take care of—but it was not something that required him to go outside.

Jiang Tang always had women following him, and aside from cultivating, they would vie for his attention and feel jealousy for this man, causing themselves mental strain.

To see him not entering a magical treasure with a particular woman, but instead disappearing alone into one, was uncommon.

The hearts of women are so complex; no one had gained Jiang Tang’s affection before them, so they obediently complied, finding their own places to attend to their matters and using the time to cultivate after Jiang Tang disappeared.

Jiang Tang entered the flying artifact, activated all its functions, and then gracefully arrived beside the elder ancestor who was caught and bound.

He did not immediately untie him but instead asked, “You are Elder Tan from North City Immortal Sect, right?”

The middle-aged man was startled; in the darkness, he sensed a powerful energy, potentially more formidable than him or at least on par.

Moreover, he felt that this person was quite young, not like a middle-aged man, while he himself was already over a thousand years old.

In the cultivation world, no matter how young someone appears, even if they have taken Beauty Preserving Elixirs, it’s impossible for their appearance to remain the same for 10,000 years unless they have become an immortal.

Immortals too bear the marks of years; for each age, there’s a corresponding mark, which can be seen on their forehead.

The elder estimated that this young man was only in his twenties…

so young, so powerful, with such good skin—who on earth was he?

From the time of his birth to the present, he had never seen such a repressively imposing figure.

The young man from before who had the flying ship artifact.

He was only at the Ocean Wheel cultivation level, already a leader in the cultivation world.

When he himself was young, he had not been this formidable at such an age; the young man must be from a noble clan.

Jiang Tang smiled mysteriously, “I know you because I have seen your portrait.

You don’t recognize me because I wasn’t born yet!”

“Where did you see my portrait?

My portrait wouldn’t be seen just anywhere by anyone, unless you were once a disciple of the Northern Region Immortal Sect!”

Jiang Tang remained mysterious, neither confirming nor denying the other’s guess:

“One of the elder ancestors of North City Immortal Sect, this time both you elder ancestors have appeared outside, aren’t you worried that someone might attack your Immortal Sect?”

The North City Immortal Sect elder shook his head proudly, “Our North City Immortal Sect is so formidable now, who would dare to cause trouble?

They would be the God of Longevity, thinking their life is too long!”

You, an elder ancestor, have been captured by me.

Is there really no one else in the world more formidable than me?

I don’t think I’m that formidable, and you, old man, shouldn’t be so arrogant!”

As Jiang Tang spoke, he waved his hand, and the vine whip that bound the elder from North City Immortal Sect was instantaneously untied and taken back by him.

The elder of North City Immortal Sect had not expected to be released; he felt that it was very likely there were hidden schemes at play, as the identity of his captor was too mysterious, and he had not recognized who he was.

Jiang Tang had his exceptional talents.

Having stayed at the North City Immortal Sect for so long and even resuming his position as an elder—with a title but no actual power—he had taught some to perform alchemy, improving their skills.

The sect leader had wanted to record his likeness, but Jiang Tang had wiped away any traces of it, sensitive to the implications of such recordings.

Because a mere recording could potentially lead assassins or those with ulterior motives to track him across thousands of miles.

He did not wish to be the kind of celebrity who was pursued and hunted!

For now, the only people who had truly seen him were those with kind hearts or his subordinates, who simply had no way to identify him from his likeness.

Even if his image was revealed, it would only be his face that was blurred with a mosaic.

This was also a good method; the image had no scent, lacked any memorable, unique quality, and so occasionally going out meant very few people would recognize him.

This time, Jiang Tang’s visit to the Immortal Sect and noble clans was high-profile, yet only the insiders recognized him; as for those in seclusion, it was unlikely they knew what he looked like.

The elder from North City Immortal Sect sensed that the power around him had dispersed, deciding to take the chance to flee.

His eyes shifted, searching for an exit from this place, ready to attempt an escape.
