Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 35: Turmoil

This news eventually reached the ears of the elders and the sect master. Their reaction was one of utter shock, as this was almost unbelievable.

Most of the elders initially thought it was just a rumor that had been exaggerated before reaching them. However, after verifying it with multiple sources, they had no choice but to believe it.

Although others were only shocked, Wei Qiang was solemn inside, as he had more knowledge than the other elders in the sect. When he became sect master, he was given thorough knowledge about their founder.

This was the first time he had heard about special constitutions that defy heavenly laws. That day, he also learned some secrets about the upper world.

He stood up and went to the highest area of the peak, where the grand elders resided. He knew he had to deliver this news to them quickly.

When he arrived at the main area, he summoned them with his token, as most of them were in seclusion.

Within five minutes, they had all gathered.

"What is the reason you called us?"

It was the supreme elder of the sect who questioned him.

Wei Qiang looked at everyone and spoke.

"Remember when I told you about Jiang Hao last time?"

"Yes, how could we forget about our sect gaining a supreme genius?"

"Elders, it’s far more complicated than I had thought before."

"Oh? What happened now?"

"I think he has a special constitution, just like our founder."

When the others heard this, they were surprised.

"Are you sure you aren’t mistaken? You know that fewer than five people in the entire world have a chance of being born with a special physique in a generation."

When Wei Qiang heard this, he sighed and told them about the fight between Jiang Hao and the 110 disciples.

When everyone learned the reason behind his assumption, they were stunned. If everything was true, then his assumption wasn’t baseless.

They began discussing among themselves.

"Which physique do you think he has?"

"Forget about the name, what do you think is the grade?"

The supreme elder remained quiet, listening to every question before speaking.

"Let’s not assume anything. Even though we don’t know his grade, it is safe to determine that it is quite high, maybe even higher than our founder’s."

When the others heard this, they were shocked because their founder had an Earth-grade physique. If Jiang Hao’s was even higher, didn’t that mean he had a Heaven-grade physique?

When the supreme elder saw their reaction, he spoke again.

"Again, don’t assume too much. Even within Earth-grade, some physiques are naturally better than others in battle strength. So he might still have an Earth-grade physique."

When the others heard this, they calmed down and nodded in understanding.

"This news might have already reached Blazing Valley, and that old geezer also knows about physiques, so he will definitely be able to figure this out too."

"You said that Jiang Hao is an in-name disciple of Alchemy Peak? Wouldn’t it be better for one of us to take him as a disciple? Spirit Peak would be far safer for him to cultivate."

One of the grand elders spoke.

When the supreme elder heard this, he shook his head.

"We can’t force him if he doesn’t want to. I have already told you all not to interfere with what Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui do. Since Huan Caiyi has already taken him in, there’s no need to ask her to give him up. If she needs help, she will ask for it herself."

When the others heard this, they could only shake their heads. Since the supreme elder had already made a decision, they would follow it, but they didn’t understand why he favored Zhi Hui and Huan Caiyi so much.

Wei Qiang nodded and brought up another topic for discussion, Blazing Valley.

"What should we do about Blazing Valley? They are showing aggression on multiple fronts now. Ten days ago, they even fought with us to acquire a larger portion of the neutral mining zone.

They are constantly finding reasons to start conflicts with us. Should we just stay quiet about it? After this news reaches them, they will definitely step up their aggression."

"That’s a given conclusion. They are afraid of Mountain Sword Sect now. With two supreme geniuses, we can definitely rule this era if they grow up. If we were in their shoes, we might have done the same thing.

Increase internal security from now on and protect them, at least inside the sect. If the need arises, use the Soul-Seeing Mirror if you are suspicious of anyone. I know the costs will be high, but protecting them is the top priority from now on.

Also, beware of Thousand Petal Order. Those bald monks might seem harmless, but that is just a facade. If they also fear our rise, they might join hands with Blazing Valley to suppress us."

When the others heard about the Soul-Seeing Mirror, they were stunned. It was one of the sect’s top treasures, and activating it required a large number of spirit stones.

The cost was too high to use it casually, but they also understood the supreme elder’s intentions. If they managed to groom two top experts in the future, they could gain much more than what they would lose now.

The Soul-Seeing Mirror was used to see through the souls of cultivators without affecting them too much. Any soul-related skill was dangerous, and the Soul-Seeing Mirror was no exception if not handled carefully.

Unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn’t use it, but now that Wei Qiang had the supreme elder’s permission, he wouldn’t mind doing so.

Wei Qiang bowed to all the grand elders and left.

...

Zhi Hui and Huan Caiyi arrived at Alchemy Peak and stood outside Jiang Hao’s cave abode. Since he was cultivating, they didn’t disturb him. Although Huan Caiyi wanted to barge in, Zhi Hui stopped her.

Zhi Hui decided to wait for two days. If he still didn’t come out, then they could check on him directly.

"To think we would encounter not one but two cultivators with special physiques, and both are Heaven-grade."

Zhi Hui lamented her luck.

"I hope this news doesn’t reach the central region, or they will definitely come here. They wanted Ming Yue before, but now they will want Jiang Hao even more.

They already know we live here but haven’t made a move because they fear we will enter the forbidden zones. That would benefit other races if we got captured, so they’ve been hesitant, as they don’t know Ming Yue’s exact grade as she hasn’t shown too much.

But Jiang Hao has given enough evidence of his grade. Greed can easily overcome hesitation, so they will definitely come for him."

Huan Caiyi spoke with worry in her voice. It was rare to see her so concerned.

"It might be possible. Although the central region is quite far, and it would take years to reach here without a Major Transference Talisman, if Sky Pavilion tries to send a letter about it through their teleportation channels and sell this information, then they will definitely get it earlier."

Huan Caiyi nodded, it was the truth. Even they had only been able to reach the Eastern Region in three months by using the Major Transference Talisman three times.

They couldn’t stop Sky Pavilion either, as its main branch was from the central region, just like Alchemy Hall. They were too weak to interfere with their workings.

"It’s fine. We have already decided to use the forbidden zone if things don’t go as planned, so it’s not something we should worry about for now."

Huan Caiyi nodded in acceptance. Just as she was about to say something else, she heard the sound of rock sliding.

They hadn’t moved far from Jiang Hao’s cave abode, and when he came out, he found two beautiful women were staring at him.

He hadn’t expected this kind of welcome. He knew Huan Caiyi, but the woman next to her was unfamiliar to him. However, if he had to make a wild guess, she might be the master of Senior Sister Ming Yue.

He sighed in his heart when he thought about it. Senior Sister Ming Yue was very beautiful, and her master and aunt were also quite stunning. In fact, of all the women he had seen so far, no one even came close to them.

He just hoped this situation didn’t escalate. It would be better if the suitors of these two beautiful women didn’t come for his life. He was already regretting associating himself with Senior Sister Ming Yue, he didn’t want any more troubles.

He walked toward them, bowed, and said nothing, waiting for them to speak. He already knew the reason they had come was because of his previous deeds.

"You sure are calm right now. I wonder if you know what kind of storm you’ve created this time."

Huan Caiyi didn’t hold back and spoke the moment he reached them.

Jiang Hao knew that the stunt he pulled wouldn’t be easily accepted in the lower world, but he had thought it through. If Mountain Sword Sect turned against him, he would simply leave.

So, he just smiled and said nothing.

"Look at his smile, I really want to punch his face."

"Cough" Zhi Hui coughed when she heard that.

"Calm down. You’re acting like a child right now."

Zhi Hui then looked at Jiang Hao and introduced herself.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Zhi Hui."

Jiang Hao bowed and introduced himself as well.

"I am Jiang Hao, Elder Zhi."

Zhi Hui nodded and continued with a smile.

"Let me guess,you knew about the upper worlds."
