Chapter 399: Chapter 251: Fame in a Single Battle, Outer Sect Acknowledges! The Invitation from Lu Qingling in the Endless Sea!

"So, your life is only worth this much..."

Jiang Shu’s voice seemed to still echo in his ears, constantly exploding in his heart and mind.

Ye Jiankong took a deep breath. The bitterness at the corner of his mouth simply wouldn’t fade.

If he had been fighting an ordinary Outer Disciple, even if he lost, he felt that his offer of a Spirit Rank Treasure and a Pure Essence Pill should have been enough. After all, he had also made it onto the Divine Skills List, which meant he was half a step into the Primordial Pill Realm. Barring any accidents, he was bound to become an Inner Sect Disciple in the future. Both sides were supposed to save face for each other. But Jiang Shu was different. In less than two years, without using any other Divine Skills, he had defeated him so effortlessly. This showed that Jiang Shu’s accumulated foundation was extremely profound. In the future, he would not only become one of the top contenders among Inner Sect Disciples but also had the potential to rise to the rank of a True Disciple, wielding the power of life and death. If that day truly came, wouldn’t what he had given now be just like spending money to save his own life?

"Uncle..." Ye Huang bit his lip and flew over. He had observed everything that had just occurred. Entering the Outer Sect more than a year ago, he had cultivated two Divine Skills and become a genius in everyone’s eyes, declaring that he would definitely enter the Inner Sect in the future. He had originally thought that his current self, no matter what, should be able to firmly suppress Jiang Shu. Unexpectedly, it wasn’t just him; even his support, his uncle Ye Jiankong, had been trampled by Jiang Shu in a single battle.

"Let’s go."

Under the focused gazes of many Outer Disciples, Ye Jiankong said nothing more. In this world, the victor is king and the loser a fugitive; a loss was simply a loss. He transformed into a streak of light and, together with Ye Huang, returned to their residence.

"The path of cultivation is like flowing water; it doesn’t strive to be first but competes for a boundless continuation." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Seeing Ye Huang still silent, Ye Jiankong sighed and said, "In the coming years, before Jiang Shu becomes an Inner Sect Disciple, it’s best you don’t go out. Stay at your residence and cultivate your Divine Skills well. This Jiang Shu’s fortune and combat power have reached a level that even I cannot fully grasp. After this battle, he might have caught the eye of the Inner Sect elders. If we have any further conflicts with him, we must pretend nothing ever happened."

He continued, "I will also focus all my effort on refining my Divine Skills, striving to condense the Primordial Pill and enter the Inner Sect within ten years. I won’t take you along to accumulate Contribution Points anymore."

Looking deeply at Ye Huang, Ye Jiankong didn’t linger and turned to leave.

He and Jiang Shu, in fact, had no real discord or dispute. The only link of conflict was Ye Huang. Previously, he had acknowledged his nephew because he knew Ye Huang had gained an inheritance of Divine Skills from the True Martial Ancient Hall. Barring any accidents, he was almost certain to become an Inner Sect Disciple. Under such circumstances, investing more in the early stages was worthwhile. Coupled with their kinship, Ye Huang was bound to become a significant support on his path of cultivation in the future. But now... Jiang Shu was likely to become a True Disciple. If he still maintained contact with Ye Huang, and Ye Huang and Jiang Shu came into conflict again in the future, how would he handle it? How could so-called kinship compare to the Great Dao!

Having made his decision, Ye Jiankong used his Contribution Points to exchange for the last two hundred bottles of Pure Essence Pills and went to Jiang Shu’s residence to apologize.

By that time, news of the battle at the Divine Power Square had already spread rapidly throughout the entire Outer Sect.

Countless Outer Disciples hovered at Jiang Shu’s door, just to make a connection with him.

"Brother Jiang, you really... became famous throughout the Outer Sect with a single battle!"

Looking at the Sound Transmission Talismans delivered by spiritual power, Luo Yu felt exhilarated. All his worries from the past half-year had dissipated like smoke into thin air! The once formidable Ye Jiankong, whom he had dreaded, had actually come to apologize. And both he and Xue Xuan had received a gift of one hundred bottles of Pure Essence Pills from Jiang Shu; their early cultivation resources were temporarily sufficient.

After a leisurely chat and guiding Xue Xuan and Luo Yu in their cultivation for two days, Jiang Shu entered secluded cultivation, constantly refining his Primordial Power and spiritual power. The Outer Disciples outside his residence, realizing they could not reach Jiang Shu, dispersed one after another.

「One month later.」

Jiang Shu emerged from seclusion. A Sound Transmission Talisman was stuck to the outer barrier of his residence. He grabbed it with one hand and heard a familiar voice.

"Is Brother Jiang there? Junior Sister Lu Qingling wishes to visit regarding a matter."

"I’ve emerged from seclusion."

After sending a reply through the talisman, Jiang Shu waited at the door for Lu Qingling’s arrival.

He had a rather good impression of Lu Qingling, who had taken good care of him during their time in the Underground Abyss. It could be said that if he hadn’t been able to devour the evil demon, his cultivation progress would have slowed considerably. He had to acknowledge this kindness.

Before half a day passed, a streak of light landed in front of Jiang Shu’s residence.

The standard Outer Disciple robe on Lu Qingling looked like fluttering immortal garments. A greenish-white ribbon was wrapped around Lu Qingling’s waist. She greeted Jiang Shu with a bow and said, "Brother Jiang, Qingling has come to you with a request."

Lu Qingling got straight to the point. "Brother Jiang, I wonder how much you know about the Endless Sea, and if you are interested in going there?"

"The Endless Sea?"

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment as memories surfaced in his mind. The Endless Sea was nearly boundless; even Nirvana Realm Monarchs couldn’t fully explore it. One end connected to the Cang Mang Domain, while the other connected with the Outer Realm Demon Clan. Every few years, the Human Clan of the Cang Mang Domain would wage war with the Outer Realm Demon Clan. The Endless Sea served as the battlefield between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan. Within it lay numerous Ancient Ruins, countless Treasures, Elixirs, and even the inheritances of some powerful beings. One could say the opportunities were limitless.
