Many people nearby were listening with great interest.
"Bearded man, who is that Jiang Li? He can actually use the Yellow Springs Punishing Saint Diagram. Is he the reincarnation of the Yellow Springs Supreme?" someone nearby asked, clearly extremely curious about Jiang Li.
The Yellow Springs Punishing Saint Diagram was known to many. It was the supreme spiritual treasure of the Yellow Springs Supreme, incredibly powerful, and had a fearsome reputation across the Primordial Continent.
Liu Xuan and Lin Ziyan on the second floor were also paying attention to the bearded man on the first floor.
"Heh heh, you've asked the right person. That Jiang Li is an exceptionally talented peerless genius of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect. At the age of twenty, he's already a powerhouse in the Life and Death Realm. He kills those Saints as easily as swatting flies, and with the Yellow Springs Punishing Saint Diagram, he can easily eliminate even Saints at the ninth heaven of the Saint Realm. Such talent is not inferior to those descendants of Imperial Clans!" the bearded man continued, his eyes filled with fervor.
As soon as the bearded man spoke, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment.
To kill Saints with a cultivation of the sixth heaven of the Life and Death Realm, and to control a supreme spiritual treasure, such talent was truly unimaginable.
"I never thought the Eastern Wilderness could produce such a figure..."
"Indeed, indeed. What kind of presence does such a peerlessly talented individual possess..."
"I heard that Jiang Li is extremely handsome, like an exiled immortal..."
"Hiss... really?"
...
...
The diners nearby chattered animatedly, the entire inn buzzing with enthusiastic discussions about Jiang Li.
A flicker of disdain crossed Liu Xuan's eyes.
"These bumpkins from the Eastern Wilderness are truly brainless. Killing Saints like swatting flies at the Life and Death Realm? How dare they say such a thing. Do they really think Saints are that common?" Liu Xuan shook his head disdainfully.
Lin Ziyan, standing beside him, looked at the bearded man on the stage, her mind racing.
Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, Jiang Li...
Wasn't that the person that "that b*tch" wanted her to deal with?
She hadn't expected to get news of him here.
Lin Ziyan picked up a cup of spirit wine and took a small sip.
Although Lin Ziyan didn't know how Jiang Li had offended "that b*tch," the prospect of obtaining the "Chaos Immortal Scripture" by killing a mere member of a second-rate force seemed like a surefire profitable deal.
However, it seemed that the man's strength was somewhat different from what "that b*tch" had said.
Wasn't he supposed to be an ordinary fellow? How could such rumors be circulating now?
Still, considering the power of the "Chaos Immortal Scripture," Lin Ziyan was unwilling to give up.
Previously, she had subtly inquired about the "Chaos Immortal Scripture." While the Saint Lord had directly stated that he would impart the "Chaos Immortal Scripture when the time was right," based on Lin Ziyan's information, the Saint Lord had made promises multiple times. Yet, among the many disciples of the Chaos Holy Land, only Ye Ruoxi, "that b*tch," had received the "Chaos Immortal Scripture," while no one else had.
Furthermore, Ye Ruoxi had sworn a Heavenly Dao oath that after Lin Ziyan dealt with Jiang Li, Ye Ruoxi would fully impart the "Chaos Immortal Scripture" to Lin Ziyan.
Moreover, Ye Ruoxi had already taught Lin Ziyan a powerful divine ability from the "Chaos Immortal Scripture."
However, given how peculiar that fellow was, she could perhaps utilize Liu Xuan. Several thoughts flashed through Lin Ziyan's mind.
"Since these rumors are circulating, Jiang Li must have some ability. Perhaps he is indeed that powerful!" Lin Ziyan said calmly.
At this moment, on the first floor, they were still discussing Jiang Li with great fervor.
As soon as Lin Ziyan spoke, Liu Xuan's expression became uncertain.
"Miss Lin, don't be deceived by these people. Setting aside whether the Jiang Li they speak of has talent, even if he does possess extraordinary abilities and can contend with ordinary Saints, it's impossible for someone in the Life and Death Realm to activate a supreme spiritual treasure..."
"Supreme spiritual treasures are meant to be used by Supremes. Even a Saint King would need to consume a massive amount of Saint Origin to activate one, let alone a cultivator in the Life and Death Realm. He'd likely be drained the moment he tried to activate it..."
"Let alone using the Yellow Springs Punishing Saint Diagram to kill someone at the ninth heaven of the Saint Realm. It's simply preposterous. Does he think he's the reincarnation of an Emperor? A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin, he can't even brag properly!"
Liu Xuan spoke slowly, his tone filled with deep contempt.
Lin Ziyan took another sip of spirit wine, contemplating Liu Xuan's words and those of the bearded man.
"Didn't someone just say that Jiang Li is exceptionally handsome, like an exiled immortal? I wonder if it's true!" Lin Ziyan continued, as if a thought had struck her. Her eyes even held a hint of longing.
Seeing his goddess praising another man right in front of him, the crowd downstairs also chimed in with praise for Jiang Li.
Liu Xuan felt a thousand curses surging within him. He had already developed a considerable hatred for this Jiang Li, whom he had never met.
...
Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
Deep within Demonic Sun Peak.
The spiritual energy of the spirit veins was continuously absorbed by Jiang Li, along with the spiritual energy from numerous top-grade spirit stones.
Vast quantities of top-grade spirit stones and countless spiritual herbs were rapidly annihilated into dust under Jiang Li's voracious consumption.
The Saint Origin nearby was also fully absorbed by Jiang Li's Indestructible Divine Body and Primordial Saint Body.
Nourished by the Saint Origin, the foundations of Jiang Li's divine body and saint body had almost recovered.
Golden streams of light continuously flickered within Jiang Li's body.
He was nearing completion, and as Jiang Li felt the Xuan energy within him constantly transforming, he felt an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
After a long while, as the last wisp of Xuan energy from the "Universe Creation Art" was transformed, a powerful aura erupted from Jiang Li.
The depths of Demonic Sun Peak were engulfed by a violent spiritual energy storm.
Jiang Li's realm also broke through at this moment, his aura surging with the power of the seventh heaven of the Life and Death Realm.
"What a potent 'Cycle Immortal Scripture'," Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes.
This "Cycle Immortal Scripture" was truly unparalleled in its power. The quantity of spiritual energy far surpassed the "Universe Creation Art," and the intensity of the spiritual energy was explosively powerful.
It was in no way inferior to the Saint Origin of those in the Saint Realm.
Jiang Li felt that he could easily crush some low-level Saints even without using his Primordial Saint Body and the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force."
If he were to further combine it with other body techniques and divine abilities, Jiang Li had no idea how strong he had become.
A mysterious power had also appeared within Jiang Li's body. That power shimmered with an extremely radiant luster, nourishing Jiang Li's physical form.
That power was the Cycle Power of the "Cycle Immortal Scripture."
Though not abundant, it was extremely potent, incredibly magical, and possessed immense destructive power when used against enemies.
