Therefore, the actual strength of Thunder Prison Peak should be slightly stronger than that of Sky Fla Peak. However, the Peak Master of Thunder Prison Peak often secludes himself for cultivation, and so of the elders on the peak are quite easygoing. In addition, the Path of Thunder Power does not manifest its truly great effects until the later stages of the Nirvana Realm. Many Inner Sect Disciples in the Primordial Pill Realm might spend their entire lives stuck in Late-stage Yuan Dan, or just entering the Early-stage Nirvana Realm. Hence, the comprehension of the Path of Thunder Power can be completely disregarded for them.
As ti passed, fewer and fewer disciples ca to the peak. In contrast, Sky Fla Peak, with the rising star Zhou Yan, was thriving, and many Inner Sect Disciples made it their top choice.
Of course, neither the Peak Master nor the elders cared about the number of disciples. Those who truly cared were always the Inner Sect Disciples who could make it onto the True Inheritor Seed list. Only they might have a chance to beco one of the future Ten Great True Inheritors. Only they might be able to lead a peak to greater heights.
Undoubtedly, in Gu Hai’s view, Jiang Shu might have a slim chance of making it onto the future True Inheritor Seed list.
"Hmm." Gu Hai nodded, tossed out a Token, and turned back to his Cave Mansion.
Jiang Shu carefully put it away. Although he had decided to be alone since his arrival at Thunder Prison Peak, having goodwill from an elder was naturally advantageous. After all, he had learned quite a bit about formations in Wenxian Palace, and once his Cave Mansion was established, he could fully seek advice from Elder Gu.
Learning from books is ultimately lifeless. Only through practical application in real combat can the formation co alive.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Shu flew toward the southeast of Thunder Prison Peak, quickly finding a fairly good and secluded spot. Compared to the other disciples, he established his Cave Mansion not for long-term cultivation, but as a temporary place for practice, so he didn’t care much about the abundance of Yuan Qi. As long as the location felt right, that was enough.
Suddenly, Jiang Shu waved his hand, and from his Storage Bag, nurous Puppets he had crafted in Wenxian Palace fell onto the mountain peak, chiseling rock, diverting water, and felling trees. Each Puppet, standing five to six ters tall, operated with grand movents that were awe-inspiring.
Such a grand operation quickly attracted the attention of so Inner Sect Disciples, and those who were well-inford imdiately revealed Jiang Shu’s identity.
"This is the new Inner Sect Disciple Jiang Shu. It’s said that he has reached Late-stage Yuan Dan! This senior brother is ruthless, waiting until Late-stage Yuan Dan before coming to verify his status in the Inner Sect."
"I’ve heard about it, too. It’s said that he gained a great fortune in the Endless Sea. At that ti, Senior Brother Jiang was still in the Furnace Fire Realm. So things really require great courage to do. Even now in the Early-stage Primordial Pill Realm, I wouldn’t dare to adventure in the Endless Sea recklessly—there are even Transford Great Demons there!"
"I wonder which True Monarch’s inheritance Senior Brother Jiang received? Every one of these Puppets has the strength of the Furnace Fire Realm, and in less than an hour, they’ve completed the outer construction of the Cave Mansion."
Among these discussing disciples, so were from Thunder Prison Peak and so from the nearby thirty-five peaks. Their discussions were fervent, and they stared intently at Jiang Shu, who continued to construct his Cave Mansion.
Establishing a Cave Mansion is, in fact, a display of an Inner Sect Disciple’s strength. The stronger the display, the more respect it garnered. Now Jiang Shu had slightly intimidated them, and every Inner Sect Disciple beca quieter, not daring to speak too loudly.
At that mont, one hundred Earth Rank swords suddenly levitated in front of Jiang Shu. These Earth Rank flying swords, all exuding the aura of Thunder Power, resembled a hundred terrifying thunderbolts, circling the periter of the Cave Mansion to form a huge Sword Array.
"Using Earth Rank swords for the Cave Mansion’s main formation, Senior Brother Jiang is really extravagant! Each of these swords is exceptionally powerful; even from a great distance, I can feel the Thunder Power within them, containing both life force and destruction. An ordinary Primordial Pill Realm True Man who trespasses carelessly would probably be shredded to ashes instantly!" an Inner Sect Disciple specializing in Artifact Refining and Formation exclaid in shock, having imdiately recognized the might of this Sword Array.
Just this Sword Array alone was beyond what a typical Late-stage Yuan Dan disciple could bring out.
"If Senior Brother Jiang uses this Sword Array for combat instead of protecting his Cave Mansion, I bet he could make it onto the True Inheritor Seed list."
The Inner Sect Disciples of Thunder Prison Peak were all exclaiming in amazent. Currently, there were no geniuses on the True Inheritor Seed list from Thunder Prison Peak, and from a collective interest perspective, they naturally hoped Jiang Shu could make it onto the list.
"Where is it that easy? A hundred Earth-rank flying swords are formidable, but in the end, they are just external possessions; they can’t compare to true strength. Everyone listed on the True Inheritor Seed list has the support of a Peak Master behind them."
"For us, the Earth-grade Treasures that take a long ti to refine seem like sothing they can obtain effortlessly. If Brother Jiang doesn’t have enough Divine Skills to enhance him, the Treasures would only make him stand out for a mont."
A Late-stage Yuan Dan Inner Sect Disciple spoke with a hint of sourness. Naturally, what he said was true and garnered agreent from many of his peers.
However, his words had barely left his lips when he abruptly stopped talking, his eyes bulging, his breathing growing heavy. Before his very eyes, Jiang Shu had swiftly set up two more major formations.
One centered around a Five Elents Yin Yang Cauldron, which he had re-refined in Wenxian Palace to achieve the Supre Earth Rank. Using this as the formation core in his Cave Mansion improved Alchemy and Artifact Refining. The other was an Earth-rank Dragon Tiger Formation. One hundred and eight Wind Cloud Banners emitted the terrifying might of thirty-six dragons and seventy-two tigers, roaring endlessly in front of the Cave Mansion as violent Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Qi flew everywhere.
This set of formations was several tis more powerful than the previous Thunder Sword Formation. All eyes had shifted from initial admiration to the current state of shock, and still, it was not over yet.
A Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile in the late-stage Inner Core Realm flew out, commanding the Dragon Tiger Formation, and sat in front of the Cave Mansion obediently guarding the entrance. Jiang Shu stood on the back of the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile, revealing his imposing aura in full.
In front of him, sixty-eight Divine Skills ford patterns that protected his body. For a mont, the beat of Magic Drums and the loud call of Magic Conchs resounded. The sect was in shock!
「Sky Fla Peak.」
Zhou Fu, quite flustered, arrived at Zhou Yan’s Cave Mansion and went straight through the Heavenly Rank Formation with the Token, his voice trembling, "Brother Zhou Yan! Jiang Shu... he has beco an Inner Sect Disciple!"
"What’s there to panic about breaking through to the Primordial Pill Realm?" Zhou Yan, who was cultivating at the center of the formation, furrowed his brows. He slowly opened his eyes, looking at Zhou Fu with a sneer and a shake of his head. "It’s not just him; even Zhou Ming himself has only condensed ten Divine Skills and couldn’t find an elder in Thunder Prison Peak to be his teacher."
This ti, Zhou Fu’s appearance had interrupted his cultivation of a Divine Skill. But he wasn’t in a hurry to scold him. Zhou Fu had followed him for many years and naturally knew what matters were urgent; if it were rely becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, he absolutely would not have deliberately burst into the Great Array.
Could it be that this Jiang Shu was exceptionally talented and caught the eye of a powerful Nirvana Realm elder? If that was the case, things would indeed beco troubleso. At the very least, Jiang Shu was no longer a common disciple without any protection. In the Divine Power Conference, there could be no more foul play. One must show so respect for that Nirvana Realm elder. After all, I haven’t yet officially entered the Nirvana Realm, nor am I one of the Ten Great True Inheritors. But it’s only a matter of ti. Once I beco one of the Ten Great True Inheritors and wield the power of life and death, what can a re Inner Sect Disciple do to resist ? In the Cang Mang Domain, strength is everything within any sect. The establishnt of the sect is not for the welfare of the disciples but to gather crowds of geniuses to form more powerful beings. Without becoming a powerful being, a genius will forever remain just a genius.
As these thoughts passed through his mind, Zhou Yan’s determination solidified, firm like a pine on a high mountain, ice in the abyss.
However, what Zhou Fu said next almost caused Zhou Yan’s newly settled state of mind to collapse. The voice in front of the Cave Mansion was trembling:
"Jiang Shu... Jiang Shu has established a Cave Mansion and set up three Earth-rank Formations: the Thunder Sword Formation, the Five Elents Yin Yang Formation, and the Heavenly Gang Earthly Sha Dragon Tiger Formation! And he has a Demon Beast in the late-stage Inner Core Realm guarding the door.
"His cultivation is not only Late-stage Yuan Dan, but he has also condensed sixty-eight Divine Skills! His might pierces the heavens! The beat of Magic Drums and the loud call of Magic Conchs are shocking the sect!
"Now, all the elders of Thunder Prison Peak are erging from seclusion, gathering in front of Jiang Shu’s Cave Mansion, competing to recruit him with various conditions, wanting to take Jiang Shu as their disciple!"
