Chapter 277: A Shortcut to Breaking Through to Rank 99; Spirit Hall's Big Move
"Teacher Jiang Li, regarding that method of condensing a Soul Core you mentioned, I indeed heard Da Ming and Er Ming bring it up before..."
Xiao Wu twiddled her fingers and said hesitantly, "However... it requires us Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts to prepare for breaking through the Second Heavenly Tribulation to reach two-hundred-thousand-years of cultivation. Only then will the Legacy memories deep within our Bloodline automatically unlock and inform us."
Looking at Xiao Wu's useless appearance, Jiang Li's heart was instantly filled with speechlessness.
As expected, from the very beginning, he shouldn't have harbored any unrealistic expectations for a Soul Beast like the Soft Bones Rabbit, which sits at the bottom of the food chain.
A mere stupid rabbit whose head is filled with nothing but romance actually dreams of breaking through to the two-hundred-thousand-year level? Keep dreaming.
"Sigh, forget it, Xiao Wu. Since that's the case, you should just stay in the Tang Sect and Cultivate in peace."
Jiang Li withdrew his thoughts and let out a helpless sigh, feigning resignation.
Since the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament ended, this Little Rabbit, who knew nothing of the world's dangers, had completely let herself go. She spent her days wandering aimlessly around the Tang Sect, not putting any heart into her cultivation at all.
This directly resulted in her Soul Power Rank remaining stagnant even after so much time had passed.
Calculating the time, it would probably take another two or three years for his Son, Tang San, to emerge from the Slaughter City.
If this stupid rabbit's Soul Power is still this pathetic by then, she's going to have a hard time enduring the vast Seagod's Light when they go to Sea God Island for training in the future.
"Heehee, Teacher Jiang Li, don't you worry!"
Xiao Wu playfully stuck out her tongue and promised confidently, "I haven't fully absorbed the Soul Bones Da Ming left me yet, plus the one I got at the Soul Master Tournament. Once I refine them all, I'll definitely be able to quickly break through to the Soul Emperor Realm! I'll surely be able to keep up with Third Brother's footsteps in the future!"
Watching this innocent rabbit plan her future to herself, Jiang Li was utterly speechless and simply couldn't be bothered to manage her anymore.
In the end, this rabbit's future fate was nothing more than being his Son's scabbard; there really was no need for her to work so hard at cultivation.
"Since you have your own plans, then I won't advise you further."
"But you remember this, girl: play all you want, but you are absolutely not allowed to disturb the cultivation of other Tang Sect Disciples! Otherwise, when I return from finishing my business, you'll be in for it!"
Hearing this, the two long rabbit ears on top of Xiao Wu's head twitched unnaturally, and she cried out 'oh no' in her heart.
Could it be...
That her plan to secretly drag Lingling out later had already been seen through by Teacher Jiang Li?
"Ah... hahahahaha, Teacher Jiang Li, what are you saying? Of course I won't disturb them."
Xiao Wu gave a guilty dry laugh, her hands behind her back as she shook her head repeatedly. "You know me, Xiao Wu has always been the most obedient!"
Jiang Li gave her a meaningful glance, leaving behind a look that said 'you'd better be, " before his figure blurred and he instantly vanished from the spot.
...
Just as Jiang Li focused his mind and prepared to set off for the Far North to find the legendary Ice and Snow Empresses to obtain the method for the Soul Core...
From Qian Renxue's side, a top-secret urgent intelligence report suddenly arrived.
Bibi Dong was finally ready to officially launch the Spirit Hunt Action!
However, due to extreme wariness of Jiang Li's unfathomable combat power, Spirit Hall's cleanup targets this time precisely avoided the Tang Sect in Heaven Dou City, pointing their butcher's knives directly at the original Upper Three Sects.
In Jiang Li's view, this information was both unexpected and yet within the Realm of reason.
"It seems the trip to the Far North will have to be pushed back for now."
With a thought, Jiang Li quietly transmitted his voice through the Blue Silver Grass vines spread across every corner of the Tang Sect's base, summoning the Elders of each Tang Sect hall and the high-level officials of the newly merged Three Elemental Academies to the Tang Sect's highest-level conference hall.
After everyone took their seats, they looked at each other in surprise.
One must know, it had been a long time since this group of old fogies had been called together for a major meeting by this Grand Elder, who was usually as elusive as a divine dragon.
The last time there was such a large-scale mobilization was back when that naturally wicked Clear Sky Sect came to attack the Tang Sect.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jiang Li sat in the main seat and, without hesitation, spoke straight to the point.
"According to the intelligence I have received, Spirit Hall will soon launch devastating, sect-exterminating sneak attacks against the Upper Three Sects."
Jiang Li's gaze swept across the room. "I called you here because I need you to be on high alert during this turbulent period. Especially, restrain the Tang Sect Disciples and the academy's teachers and students under you. Just stay behind closed doors and watch the show; do not get caught up in this 'dog-eat-dog' war."
As soon as these words were spoken, the high-level officials of the Three Elemental Academies, along with Speed Hall Master Bai He—who had never entered Jiang Li's absolute inner circle due to his Bloodline—could no longer sit still.
As the saying goes, 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold." If even established powers with deep foundations like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were to be flattened by Spirit Hall, wouldn't the Tang Sect eventually follow in their footsteps?
However, just as they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, they weirdly discovered that the true power holders of the Tang Sect—Jiang Li, Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao—were all leisurely sipping tea, sitting as steady as Mount Tai!
The CPUs of Bai He and the others were on the verge of burning out on the spot.
What is the situation?!
The sky is about to fall, and Spirit Hall is about to fight their way to the doorstep, so why aren't these few worried at all?
Receiving a signaling glance from Jiang Li, Yang Wudi stood up, coughed twice, and explained.
"Everyone, do not panic. You may not know this, but the entire Heaven Dou Empire has actually been completely controlled in the shadows by our Grand Elder long ago. Therefore, having those eyesore Upper Three Sects of the old era conveniently cleaned up by Spirit Hall is actually of great benefit to our Tang Sect taking over the power vacuum across the continent!"
"Furthermore, our Tang Sect is now strong and well-equipped with the Grand Elder presiding over us. It's just a mere Spirit Hall; why would we be afraid?"
Thinking back to when Jiang Li first revealed his hand to Yang Wudi and the others, informing them that the Heaven Dou Empire's surname had already changed to Jiang, these old guys were also so shocked that their mouths couldn't close for several days.
Especially after the battle in Spirit City, Jiang Li's invincible combat power that crushed everything had already made them completely devoted.
Not to mention, Yang Wudi's long-lost younger brother, Yang Wushuang, had also been retrieved intact from Spirit Hall's hands by Jiang Li using his heavenly methods and was now comfortably serving as the Vice Hall Master of the Medicine Hall.
Regarding Jiang Li's ambition to unify the continent, this group of rough men who only knew how to swing weapons naturally agreed with both hands and feet!
Because only as the Tang Sect becomes more prosperous can their clans rise along with it.
