Chapter 72: Envoy from the Chu Family

With the current speed of fusion between the Azure Dragon Beast Soul and the Azure Dragon Egg, it’s likely to take some time. However, during the fusion process, I must also integrate the war beast imprint from the Divine Beast Breeding System.

Jiang Chen could clearly sense the changes in the Azure Dragon Egg, realizing that it was impossible to successfully merge it within three days.

With this thought, a wave of fluctuation emanated from between his brows, and a peculiar imprint condensed out of thin air. This was the war beast imprint of the Divine Beast Breeding System. Once integrated with this imprint, the beast would become one of the breeding war beasts of the Divine Beast Breeding System, never to escape control.

Even though Jiang Chen possessed the Azure Dragon Soul Token from the Azure Dragon Marquis, merely relying on it to control the Azure Dragon that would be bred might not be so easy. After all, this Azure Dragon was once the war beast of the Azure Dragon Marquis.

For a war beast, their first master is the one to whom they are most loyal. This loyalty can even be etched into their souls, indelibly, but the Divine Beast Breeding System is different. It can erase such traces from the soul layer and plant the war beast imprint, thus making them utterly loyal to Jiang Chen.

Having done all this, Jiang Chen nodded slightly. All that was left was to wait for the successful fusion of the Azure Dragon Egg. Then, it would be time for the birth of the Azure Dragon.

However, the Soul Testing Tower must also be refined.

Although he had not reached the level of a Great Soul Master, his Soul Power and Soul Sense were no less than that of an ordinary Great Soul Master.

I should be able to refine the Soul Testing Tower now.

A glint of sharpness flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes as a Light Dragon shot out from his forehead. This was the Azure Dragon Soul Token.

It was the soul token of the Azure Dragon Marquis’ very own life essence.

Up to this point, Jiang Chen had not fully refined it and could only use it as a trump card.

However, the Azure Dragon Soul Token was the medium for refining the Soul Testing Tower.

When the Azure Dragon Marquis had forged the Soul Testing Tower, he used the Azure Dragon Soul Token as the foundational core. Without the Azure Dragon Soul Token, the Soul Testing Tower would not be what it is.

With the current strength of my physical body, although I can maintain the use of the Azure Dragon Soul Token for the duration of three to five breaths, any longer would not be possible. If I encounter an extremely powerful enemy, it would be a significant weakness.

Jiang Chen was aware of the shortcomings of the Azure Dragon Soul Token. Now that Heavenly Mist City was demanding the Soul Testing Tower, it meant that he would soon potentially be opposing existences at the level of a Martial Sect. Martial Sect experts are not on the same level as Master experts; they are much stronger, as could be seen from the last encounter with that Martial Sect’s Treasure Qi.

A mere wisp of Martial Sect’s Treasure Qi, and the Azure Dragon Soul Token had only been able to repel it and couldn’t fully devour its consciousness. This demonstrated how formidable the Soul Consciousness of Martial Sect experts is, let alone Soul Sect experts who specialize in Soul Consciousness. It was questionable whether his Azure Dragon Soul Token would be able to unleash its proper might.

But refining the Soul Testing Tower would be different. With the Soul Testing Tower as the foundational shell of the Azure Dragon Soul Token, there would be no such concern when using the Azure Dragon Soul Token. As long as there was enough Soul Power, the might of the Azure Dragon Soul Token could be maintained.

Swish!

The Azure Dragon Soul Token suddenly shot into the sphere of light and began rapidly swimming within it, step by step integrating with the source within.

This sphere of light contained not only Soul Power and Beast Soul but also the array source of the entire Soul Testing Tower.

As long as the Azure Dragon Soul Token could completely merge with the source, it would be able to gain complete control of the Soul Testing Tower.

The Azure Dragon Marquis had originally created the Soul Testing Tower with the Azure Dragon Soul Token as the core, so there was no resistance during the merging process. As time passed, the strength of the Azure Dragon Soul Token gradually permeated the entire sphere of light.

And Jiang Chen, who had a strange and continuous connection with the Azure Dragon Soul Token, also gradually increased his control over the Soul Testing Tower.

To those outside the Soul Testing Tower, a faint light gradually rose from the entire Soul Testing Tower. Many of the powers hidden deep within the tower’s structure were slowly being stimulated, forming many strange textures, which were the array patterns within the Soul Testing Tower.

This is?

Jiang Qiong and the many Grand Elders, who had been waiting outside for half a day, were suddenly stunned by the strange changes in the Soul Testing Tower.

Ever since the Jiang Family had acquired the Soul Testing Tower, they had never seen such changes occur before.

However, no one could tell what exactly was happening inside the Soul Testing Tower.

They could only wait, wait for Jiang Chen to come out.

Time flew by, and Jiang Qiong and the many Grand Elders waited outside the Soul Testing Tower for three days.

Three days had passed, the final deadline set by the Chu Family for the Jiang Family.

Jiang Chen still hadn’t come out.

Patriarch, the Chu Family has arrived.

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky with an anxious look on their face and said in a hurry. It was a Martial Grand Elder who had been guarding outside.

What are we going to do? The Chu Family is here, and Jiang Chen still hasn’t come out!

The expressions of all the Grand Elders changed drastically. The Chu Family had put them under great psychological pressure, and they had been unable to rest easy these past few days.

Let’s go out and deal with them first!

Jiang Qiong glanced at the Soul Testing Tower and said in a deep voice.

The other Grand Elders all looked at each other, their moods becoming even heavier.

Wuwu...

At that moment, the Soul Testing Tower suddenly shook slightly. Rays of light rose up, revealing a strange vision. One could vaguely see these rays of light condensing into a colossal dragon shadow that wrapped around the entire Soul Testing Tower.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this vision.

At the peak of the Soul Testing Tower, the huge dragon shadow’s head suddenly lowered, and a figure slowly walked out from its open mouth. Who else could it be but Jiang Chen?

It wasn’t until Jiang Chen landed on the ground that Jiang Qiong and the others gradually recovered from their shock. Then, their breathing became ragged, and their eyes lit up. Jiang Chen, have you refined the Soul Testing Tower?

Jiang Qiong asked with a face full of surprise and doubt.

You could say that!

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, a faint smile on his face.

Up to this point, the Azure Dragon Egg was still in the process of merging and had yet to be fully bred, but the Soul Testing Tower had basically been refined. The fusion of the Azure Dragon Soul Token and the Soul Testing Tower was mostly complete. At the very least, Jiang Chen no longer had any physical limitations when using the Azure Dragon Soul Token and could use it at will. Of course, to gain a deeper understanding of the Soul Testing Tower and unleash the true power of the Azure Dragon Soul Token was not so simple, after all. The creator of the Soul Testing Tower, the Azure Dragon Marquis, was an existence at the level of a Soul Marquis. Moreover, even the Azure Dragon Marquis had admitted that the Soul Testing Tower was not completely refined and still had many imperfections, which awaited Jiang Chen, its new master, to perfect.

The others were all astonished. If this was true, didn’t it mean that Jiang Chen had potentially obtained the inheritance of the ninth level?

Those present looked at Jiang Chen with shock, mixed with envy and even jealousy.

Good, now let’s go meet the people from the Chu Family.

Jiang Qiong didn’t ask further. With a formidable enemy at their doorstep, the matter of the Soul Testing Tower could wait until after the crisis was dealt with.

Under Jiang Qiong’s lead, the many Grand Elders all took flight.

Jiang Qiong had intended to carry Jiang Chen as they flew, but a strange aura wrapped around Jiang Chen, lifting him up. This aura was extremely restrained, yet it gave Jiang Qiong and the others a strong sense of threat to their soul senses.

They were all secretly shocked. Jiang Chen was merely at the Soul Warrior level and couldn’t possibly rely on the vital energy of a battle beast to fly. Thus, there was only one possibility - it was the power of the Soul Testing Tower.

Their guess was almost certainly correct. After Jiang Chen had initially refined the Soul Testing Tower, the might of the Azure Dragon Soul Token had been stimulated and enhanced, revealing some of its characteristics, such as being able to lift his body and enable him to fly like vital energy.

Of course, it was just flying, and he couldn’t guarantee the speed.

The vital energy of the soul stimulated by the Azure Dragon Soul Token had its greatest effect in attack, with unparalleled Soul Power attacks. This was the most terrifying aspect of it.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Dozens of Grand Elders of the Jiang Family appeared in the Elder Hall, greeting the envoy from the Chu Family with the highest courtesy.

There were three envoys from the Chu Family this time, led by a Grand Soul Master, while the other two were Grand Martial Masters.

Having Master Chu Xiong come to Jiang Family Castle is truly an honor that graces our Jiang Family!

In the Elder Hall, the Patriarch led the many Grand Elders in greeting the middle-aged man seated opposite them with clasped hands and flattering words.

Master Chu Xiong?

Seated at the very end among the elders, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but cast his eyes on the middle-aged man, of average build, somewhat haughty in demeanor, and with a piercing gaze that felt aggressive.

The name sounded familiar; he had heard it a few months ago when he had just become a Soul Warrior, during the family’s Soul Hall assessment to receive initial resources. Back then, it was by invoking this man’s name that he had managed to intimidate Jiang Jun.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but sigh as he felt the passage of time.

Hehe, Patriarch Jiang, there’s no need for such pleasantries. You know why we’re here. So, Patriarch Jiang, have you made your decision?

A cold smile hung on Chu Xiong’s lips, his tone clearly demanding.

The many Grand Elders of the Jiang Family present all changed expression, with many hot-tempered individuals even revealing anger.

However, Chu Xiong remained confident, as if he were not afraid of the Jiang Family daring to refuse. With the support of the Chu Family, he could wipe out the entire Jiang Family with a wave of his hand.

Jiang Qiong frowned slightly, then turned his gaze toward Jiang Chen.

Not only him, but the other Grand Elders as well. Only Jiang Chen had a way to stall for time.

Chu Xiong noticed the actions of Jiang Qiong and the others. Somewhat surprised, he turned his gaze to Jiang Chen - a Soul Warrior?

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. It was somewhat strange for a mere Soul Warrior to appear on such an occasion.

He didn’t care. A little Soul Warrior wasn’t even qualified to open his mouth.

But before he could finish the thought, that Soul Warrior had already stood up, a mocking smile on his face.

Master Chu Xiong, our Jiang Family is actually very willing to hand over the Soul Testing Tower to your Chu Family. However, not only your Chu Family, but even the Heavenly Machine Pavilion has long coveted the Soul Testing Tower. If we hand over the Soul Testing Tower to your Chu Family, I fear that the Heavenly Machine Pavilion will not spare our Jiang Family!

The Jiang Family was shocked. Since when had the Heavenly Machine Pavilion coveted the Soul Testing Tower?

But they suddenly understood. Jiang Chen’s goal was to arouse the Chu Family’s suspicion. If there was a potential enemy like the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, then the Chu Family would have to think twice.

What, the Heavenly Machine Pavilion?

Chu Xiong’s expression changed slightly, then his eyes turned extremely cold, as if they contained a powerful Soul Consciousness Pressure that was capable of piercing Jiang Chen through and through. Such a gaze from a mighty mid-level Grand Soul Master was unbearable for not only a Soul Warrior, but even ordinary Grand Martial Masters and Grand Soul Masters.

He couldn’t help but chuckle coldly, waving his hand in a commanding manner. Hmph, just hand over the Soul Testing Tower to our Chu Family. As for the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, you don’t need to worry. My Chu Family will deal with them ourselves.

....

Chapter 73 Direct Annihilation

What wild words! Your Chu Family, a mere second-rate soul cultivator family, dares to look down upon my Heavenly Machine Pavilion? The Soul Testing Tower is mine for the taking.

Just then, a piercingly cold voice suddenly cut through the air and entered the Elder Hall, causing the temperature to plummet by a dozen degrees or so. Everyone shivered as if they were standing in an ice cave.

Shush! Shush!

A cold gale blew in, and a short and stout figure floated into the hall, dimming the light within. Everyone sensed an indescribable aura enveloping the Elder Hall, making them feel as if they were walking on thin ice.

The short and stout figure walked forward slowly, its heavy footsteps causing the entire Elder Hall to tremble and filling everyone with a sense of suffocation.

Chu Xiong, the Chu Family envoy, changed expression drastically and stood up abruptly. His eyes fixed on the approaching figure, and a few words escaped his lips, You, you’re from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion?

It was no wonder he was shocked. He had thought that the Soul Warrior from before had been exaggerating, but who would’ve thought that someone from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion would actually appear?

Although they were within the territory of Heavenly Mist City, the pressure that the Heavenly Machine Pavilion exerted on him was simply too great.

If Heavenly Mist City could only be considered a second-rate force, then the Heavenly Machine Pavilion could at least enter the ranks of first-rate forces.

The Chu Family was even further behind compared to the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.

The Jiang Family masters present were all dumbfounded.

How did the Heavenly Machine Pavilion get involved?

Earlier, they had thought that Jiang Chen was just using the Heavenly Machine Pavilion as a shield.

But now...

Jiang Qiong and the others all looked toward Jiang Chen, wanting to know what was going on.

They had a feeling that the appearance of this Heavenly Machine Pavilion powerhouse was probably related to Jiang Chen.

However, the masters of the Jiang Family had no fondness for the Heavenly Machine Pavilion. Last time, the Yang Family colluded with the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, and the Jiang Family nearly faced complete annihilation.

Could Jiang Chen have secretly colluded with the Heavenly Machine Pavilion?

They dared not entertain that thought, since it was Jiang Chen who had saved the Jiang Family last time.

Indeed, you can leave now. Whatever the Heavenly Machine Pavilion wants, your Chu Family should not even dream of it.

The short and stout figure finally stepped inside. Though he looked like a jovial Buddha, his eyes were chillingly cold, instilling a sense of terror. The thick aura of malevolence emanating from him made the many Grand Elders present shiver in fear.

Naturally, this person was the formidable Ku Mo.

As a peak Grand Martial Master, he was powerful enough to contend with high-level Grand Soul Masters. No wonder the masters present felt such trepidation.

Whether it was the masters from the Jiang Family or the three master-level powerhouses from the Chu Family, the strongest among them was merely a mid-level Grand Soul Master, which was a significant gap from Ku Mo, a peak Grand Martial Master. Only a high-level Grand Soul Master would qualify to contend with Ku Mo, and only a peak Grand Soul Master could suppress him.

You say you’re from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, but do you have any proof?

Chu Xiong’s face turned extremely unsightly. He had thought that acquiring the Soul Testing Tower was a sure bet until an unexpected obstacle arose.

Hmph, could there be any doubt?

The short and stout Ku Mo took out a token and waved it arrogantly, saying, There, you’ve seen the token. Now scram!

Chu Xiong had seen the Heavenly Machine Pavilion’s token before and immediately recognized that this one was genuine. His heart sank. In reality, it was not the Elder Hall of the Chu Family that had sent him to retrieve the Soul Testing Tower but a particular Grand Elder instead. This Grand Elder was currently in seclusion and could not act personally. He also did not want news of the Soul Testing Tower to leak, which would inform the other families in Heavenly Mist City. Therefore, he had instructed Chu Xiong to act secretly and quietly retrieve the Soul Testing Tower; otherwise, they might have already taken it by force.

Now the appearance of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion’s person had disrupted the entire plan.

With this in mind, he secretly used a Soul Power Jade Talisman to communicate, while entangling with the Heavenly Machine Pavilion’s powerhouse before him.

Sir, this is the territory of Heavenly Mist City. Isn’t the Heavenly Machine Pavilion overreaching?

Chu Xiong stated gravely, as he was on home ground and not afraid of the person from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.

He had already sent out a message and reinforcements would arrive soon.

Overreaching? Haha, you’ve probably tried to spread the news just now, right? Good, I can just eliminate all of your hidden Chu Family experts outside the castle in one fell swoop.

Ku Mo let out a wild laugh as a terrifying killing intent radiated from his body.

The Chu Family would not have only sent Chu Xiong and two Grand Martial Masters to receive the Soul Testing Tower; other experts were hidden outside of the Jiang Family Castle. If the Jiang Family had been sensible, these experts would not have taken action, and the Jiang Family would have been able to continue existing. However, if the Jiang Family refused to hand over the Soul Testing Tower, they would have attacked in full force, seizing the Soul Testing Tower by force and perhaps even wiping out the Jiang Family entirely.

Jiang Chen’s goal was not limited to Chu Xiong and the other two; he also wanted to eliminate all of the Chu Family’s experts lurking outside. Only then would his subsequent plans be possible.

Chu Xiong’s face changed drastically. He had not expected Ku Mo to be so ruthless as to attack without warning. He immediately tried to summon his war beast.

At the same time, the two Grand Martial Masters from the Chu Family were also taken aback. They quickly came to their senses and stood up to protect Chu Xiong.

However, at this moment, Jiang Chen on the other side also made his move.

Neither Chu Xiong nor the two Grand Martial Masters—nor even any of the Grand Martial Masters or Grand Soul Masters from the Jiang Family—had anticipated Jiang Chen’s intervention since their attention was focused on Ku Mo from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.

Ku Mo was merely a decoy. Jiang Chen was the one who would truly act.

Jiang Chen used his Spirit Fox’s Might as soon as he attacked.

A terrifying and majestic pressure emanated from Jiang Chen, enveloping the entire Elder Hall. Everyone felt a strong sense of intimidation, especially Chu Xiong and the two Grand Martial Masters, who were the main targets of the attack. They trembled all over, and an immense pressure filled their minds, making it difficult for them to extricate themselves.

The only people present who were unaffected by the Spirit Fox’s Might were Jiang Chen himself and Ku Mo.

Ku Mo was a petrified puppet refined by Xiao Luan and lacked true self-awareness, so he was completely immune to the Spirit Fox’s pressure.

In a battle between experts, victory and defeat could be decided in an instant.

With Chu Xiong and the other two affected by the Spirit Fox’s Might, their fates were already sealed.

Jiang Chen flicked his wrist, and an intangible, dragon-shaped light appeared, emitting a terrifying draconic roar before coiling around Chu Xiong and the other two.

Ever since the Azure Dragon Soul Token merged with the Soul Testing Tower, it was no longer limited by Jiang Chen’s physical body. Although with Jiang Chen’s current strength, he still could not unleash the true power of the Azure Dragon Soul Token, it was much stronger than before. There was almost no time restriction. As long as there was enough Soul Power in the Divine Beast Breeding System, he could use it for as long as he wanted. All the backlash from the Azure Dragon Soul Token was now borne by the Soul Testing Tower.

The Azure Dragon Soul Token had been able to easily kill peak Grand Martial Masters even before, let alone now.

Without any suspense, Chu Xiong and the other two went rigid, their eyes filled with shock, before finally fading completely.

Thud, thud, thud...

The three of them fell to the ground, their life force was still present, but their soul consciousness had completely vanished.

Jiang Qiong and the others still had stunned expressions on their faces. They were already familiar with the aura of the Spirit Fox’s Might and had not anticipated that Jiang Chen would strike down with such decisiveness.

Just as Jiang Chen completely eradicated Chu Xiong and the other two, a terrifying howl suddenly came from outside Jiang Family Castle. It was like a tsunami, causing the winds and clouds above the Jiang Family Castle to change dramatically. A tremendous pressure enveloped the sky, and everyone inside felt as if doomsday had arrived—a sense of terror as if a catastrophe was upon them.

Even Jiang Qiong and the other master-level experts of the Jiang Family had their faces drastically change with fear.

Clearly, the real powerhouse lying in ambush from the Chu Family had arrived.

Well done, the Chu Family has actually sent a peak Grand Martial Master.

Jiang Chen’s face changed slightly. He could sense a dreadful fluctuation of soul consciousness rolling in the void, surpassing the level of a high-level Grand Martial Master, on the same level as Ku Mo.

Reaching the level of a peak Grand Martial Master meant getting infinitely close to the level of Martial Sect, a terrifyingly powerful state.

Last time, Jiang Chen managed to kill and capture two peak Grand Martial Masters largely because he relied on stratagems and because they were off guard.

If he had to confront them head-on, defeating them would be easy, but killing or capturing them would be extremely difficult.

Of course, this was before he returned to Jiang Family Castle. Now he had already refined the Soul Testing Tower, and his strength had greatly increased. Unless a Grandmaster-level expert arrived, even a peak Grand Soul Master would not pose much threat to him.

Of course, defeating and killing a peak Grand Soul Master would still be quite difficult.

Swoosh!

Ku Mo, with his short and stout figure, was the first to fly out of the Elder Hall. He had received Jiang Chen’s order to take the vanguard and test the strength of the opposition.

...

Chu Xiang was an elder of the Chu Family, at the level of a peak Grand Martial Master, possessing the potential to break through to the Martial Sect level. As an exceedingly outstanding warrior of the Chu Family, he was extremely arrogant.

How strange it is that the Jiang Family dares to refuse to hand over the Soul Testing Tower. Could it be that the Jiang Family is not afraid of annihilation?

He descended abruptly above Jiang Family Castle, unfurling his formidable aura.

Chu Xiong had sent him a message without explaining the reason, leading him to believe that it was the Jiang Family who was refusing to surrender the Soul Testing Tower!

It’s a pity that the Great Elder is currently in seclusion and cannot destroy the Jiang Family directly; otherwise, there would be no need for such trouble. However, once the Great Elder obtains the Soul Testing Tower, he can use its power to advance again, perhaps even reaching the position of the first Great Elder of the clan, leading the entire Chu Family, and even elevating our Chu Family above the other four families. Moreover, the Great Elder has promised that as long as we successfully obtain the Soul Testing Tower, he will reward me with a Heavenly Peep Elixir and several top-grade Origin Stones. With these, my chances of successfully breaking through to the Martial Sect level will increase significantly.

Chu Xiong thought to himself, feeling a sense of anticipation.

No matter what, he had to complete the mission successfully this time.

His gaze was cold and aloof, carrying an air of superiority. To him, a local small force like the Jiang Family was hardly worth a look. Just by himself, he was capable of annihilating the entire family, which gave him a strong sense of arrogance.

At this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly rose from the depths of Jiang Family Castle. It was an extremely cold presence, with a chillingly formidable and murderous aura that was not the least bit inferior to his own.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

A peak Grand Martial Master?

Since when did the Jiang Family possess such a powerful existence?

He had long grasped all the information about the Jiang Family, including how many master-level experts they had, definitely no more than thirty, and the strongest among them being at most a mid-peak Grand Soul Master. As for high-level Grand Soul Masters and Grand Martial Masters, there were none, let alone a peak Grand Martial Master.

To have a peak Grand Martial Master-level powerhouse, such a force, even in Heavenly Mist City, would hold a significant position.

...

Chapter 74: Stalling for Time

In the moment Chu Xiang was caught off guard, an invisible and terrifying oppressive force suddenly swept over.

The Spirit Fox’s Might.

Jiang Chen secretly exerted it once again.

He had no intention of conversing with the adversary; his intent was to eradicate directly.

Whoosh!

A terrifying blade light slashed out from the ascending figure of Ku Mo, resembling a galaxy suspended in the void, with an unmatched cold and icy aura, as if intending to freeze the entire space.

Terrifying!

At the moment when enveloped by the Spirit Fox’s Might, Chu Xiang’s spirit showed a flaw, and upon perceiving this blade light, he immediately became flustered.

Crack!

The dreadful blade light struck him directly, tearing through his qi protective shield.

Spurt!

Chu Xiang was hit hard, his figure flung backward, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out. Although Ku Mo’s blade light did not kill him, it inflicted serious injury.

At that time, a terrible earthy-yellow light shot out.

This was Xiao Luan’s Petrification Feather.

The timing was extremely precise; Chu Xiang’s qi had just been broken, at the critical moment when his qi protection was insufficient.

Jiang Chen would not kill him like this; he intended to refine this person into a petrified puppet, to fully control him and implement the subsequent plan.

With his qi broken and seriously injured, Chu Xiang had no strength to resist. He was invaded by the Petrification Feather, his body suddenly petrified, and he turned into a statue-like figure falling from the sky, then was directly caught by Ku Mo.

Thus, a powerful peak Grand Martial Master was captured just like that.

At this moment, Jiang Qiong and the others had just flown out of the Elder Hall when they witnessed this scene and were completely stunned. They could not believe that the battle had ended so quickly.

A powerful peak Grand Martial Master had been taken care of just like that.

Jiang Chen, what, what’s going on here?

At this time, Jiang Qiong finally regained his senses and asked in shock as if he did not recognize Jiang Chen.

By wantonly killing the powerful figures of the Chu Family like this, Jiang Chen was undoubtedly pushing the Jiang Family into a great crisis. The Chu Family was completely offended, and there was no room for reconciliation.

Clan Head, rest assured. Killing them is part of my plan. As for him...

Jiang Chen waved his hand and put the bodies of Chu Xiong and the other two into his storage space. Then, he looked at the short and stout Ku Mo.

Ku Mo, greetings to Master.

However, the subsequent scene shocked them even more. The mighty and domineering Grand Martial Master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion actually took a step forward and knelt respectfully before Jiang Chen.

They were all dumbfounded. What was going on?

How could a powerful figure of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion address Jiang Chen as Master?

This was a peak Grand Martial Master!

Clan Head, you must be very puzzled, right? He is indeed from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, but that was in the past. He has now submitted to me. When I left Jiang Family Castle last time to enter the Spirit Fox Mountain Range, the Aoshi Young Master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion sent two peak Grand Martial Masters to capture me, but I killed one and subdued the other. That is why I plan to use the Heavenly Machine Pavilion to have a good fight with the Chu Family.

Seeing the doubtful looks on their faces, Jiang Chen immediately gave a brief explanation.

Only then did Jiang Qiong and others suddenly understand. At the same time, they felt deeply shocked by Jiang Chen. To kill one and subdue one out of the two peak Grand Martial Masters of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion – what level of strength did one need to achieve this?

Let alone two peak Grand Martial Masters; even one would be enough to cause great trouble for the Jiang Family. Two of them could definitely wipe out the entire Jiang Family.

To eliminate two peak Grand Martial Masters, only a Grandmaster-level existence would have such capability. Even the most exceptional Grand Soul Master could only defeat but hardly kill them, let alone subdue them, which was almost impossible.

Just now, Jiang Chen and Ku Mo joined forces to effortlessly defeat the peak Grand Martial Master of the Chu Family.

They had truly witnessed Jiang Chen’s strength.

Jiang Chen, how confident are you?

Jiang Qiong’s expression turned grave, realizing that the Jiang Family had reached a critical moment.

Whether it was the Chu Family, Heavenly Mist City, or the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, none were entities the Jiang Family could confront. Now, Jiang Chen was actually planning to use the Heavenly Machine Pavilion to counter the Chu Family, which was undoubtedly like snatching chestnuts from the fire.

Clan Head, I would not act without full confidence.

Jiang Chen stated proudly.

He already had a detailed plan and was certain of success as long as no errors occurred.

Good, Jiang Chen, no matter what method you have, the fate of the Jiang Family is now in your hands.

Jiang Qiong seemed to have made a decision and declared abruptly.

The many Grand Elders were all shocked, understanding that Clan Head Jiang Qiong was offering full support to Jiang Chen, staking the entire fate of the Jiang Family on him.

Although many were still somewhat uneasy, at this point, the Jiang Family had no room to retreat. They could only move forward, with any slight misstep portending the risk of annihilation.

Thus, the many Grand Elders began to express their stance, one after another supporting Jiang Chen.

With the support of the Clan Head and the many Grand Elders, Jiang Chen felt much more assured. He then surveyed his surroundings and spoke loudly, The next phase will be a matter of life and death for the Jiang Family. Therefore, I plan to greatly enhance the strength of our entire clan.

At this juncture, it was not the time to keep secrets, especially since the Soul Testing Tower was now in his possession, and it was time to significantly improve the clan’s strength.

He began to select from the clan those high-level Soul Masters and high-level Martial Masters with potential, allowing them to enter the Soul Testing Tower.

One powerful feature of the Soul Testing Tower was its ability to enhance their strength.

Additionally, the Grandmaster-level powerhouses from the Elder Hall also entered.

Ordinarily, Grand Soul Masters and Grand Martial Masters could not enter the Soul Testing Tower. However, Jiang Chen was now the master of the Soul Testing Tower, and lifting this restriction was effortless.

Clan Head Jiang Qiong had reached the pinnacle of an intermediate Grand Soul Master, only a step away from an advanced Grand Soul Master. Many other Grand Elders were also more or less at a bottleneck, and this was an excellent opportunity to use the Soul Testing Tower to enhance their strength.

In this way, the strength of the Jiang Family would receive a comprehensive upgrade.

When Jiang Qiong and the other Grand Elders stepped into the Soul Testing Tower, they all felt an indescribable sense of excitement. After becoming Grandmaster-level powerhouses, this was their first time entering the Soul Testing Tower. As Grandmaster-level powerhouses, their Soul Consciousness was incomparably powerful, so they had a deeper understanding of the formidable Soul Testing Tower.

...

Inside the Soul Testing Tower.

When many high-level Soul Masters and Martial Masters, and Grand Soul Masters and Grand Martial Masters, received top-grade Origin Stones, they were completely shocked. They never expected Jiang Chen to possess such precious top-grade Origin Stones, and over a hundred of them no less.

They were all extremely excited and sensed Jiang Chen’s determination to help the clan overcome its difficulties.

These top-grade Origin Stones could help the spirit beasts of high-level Martial Masters and Soul Masters break through and reach the Gang Qi Realm level, while Grand Soul Masters and Grand Martial Masters would also have their cultivations raised or even break through bottlenecks.

Of course, the most important thing was the effect brought by the Soul Testing Tower.

Previously, the Jiang Family used the Soul Testing Tower as a place to train Soul Power, and only Soul Cultivators were able to enter. As for martial artists, its effects were minimal.

However, now that Jiang Chen had basically mastered the Soul Testing Tower, he was able to unleash some of its functions. Even if martial artists entered, they could still benefit greatly.

When Azure Dragon Marquis was refining the Soul Testing Tower, he had one grand ambition: to mass-produce Grandmaster-level and Venerable-level powerhouses. One of the functions of the Soul Testing Tower was to directly stimulate the brain and Soul Consciousness of its cultivators.

With top-grade Origin Stones and the Soul Testing Tower, the breakthrough rate was extremely high, especially for Soul Masters and Martial Masters. It was practically 100%.

Kacha, kacha...

A middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged on the sixth floor of the Soul Testing Tower. Suddenly, it was as if something in his body had been shattered. He was shaken and abruptly opened his eyes. Two fearsome rays of energy shot out, accompanied by his formidable Soul Consciousness that unfurled with a rumbling momentum.

Wu wu wu!

From his acupoints and pores, a fearsome Gang Qi erupted, lifting his body into the air.

Gang Qi Realm!

I’ve finally broken through to the Gang Qi Realm! I’ve finally become a Grand Martial Master...

This middle-aged man’s face was filled with delight, and his eyes even moistened.

He had stagnated at the high-level Martial Master level for too long, unable to break through the bottleneck. Now, with the help of Jiang Chen’s top-grade Origin Stones and the Soul Testing Tower, he had finally transformed into a dragon from a carp and become a Grandmaster-level powerhouse, and his status in the Jiang Family had soared as a result.

Not long after, the spirit beast of another high-level Soul Master also broke through to the Gang Qi Realm, which led to the high-level Soul Master’s Soul Consciousness transforming as well, allowing him to advance to a Grand Soul Master.

Soon, more and more high-level Martial Masters and high-level Soul Masters began to break through.

In less than half a day, at least thirty Soul Masters and Martial Masters had broken through to the Grandmaster level.

In other words, the number of Grandmaster-level powerhouses in the Jiang Family more than doubled.

It wasn’t just these high-level Martial Masters and Soul Masters; even some of the original Grandmaster-level powerhouses began to break through one after another.

For example, Jiang Qiong was promoted directly to the high-level Grand Soul Master level.

Advancing from the intermediate Grand Soul Master to the high-level Grand Soul Master was a qualitative leap, with one’s strength increasing by more than ten times.

Even in a force like Heavenly Mist City, high-level Grand Soul Masters had extremely high statuses.

In the end, the older generation of Grand Soul Masters and Grand Martial Masters had all advanced by at least one level, and some even advanced by two levels.

As such, the strength of the Jiang Family’s upper echelons had increased by several times at least.

After everyone exited the Soul Testing Tower, they all seemed spirited and their confidence had increased significantly.

However, they all understood that this was entirely because of the benefits Jiang Chen had brought them.

Consequently, Jiang Chen’s status in the Jiang Family’s Elder Hall rose yet again, even surpassing that of Clan Head Jiang Qiong. However, Jiang Qiong had no dissatisfaction whatsoever. To him, having the family become much stronger was exactly what he wanted to see. If possible, he would have immediately passed on the position of Clan Head to Jiang Chen.

Unfortunately, that simply wasn’t what Jiang Chen desired.

At the same time, on the ninth floor of the Soul Testing Tower, a figure sat cross-legged before Jiang Chen’s spirit beast Xiao Luan, and it was none other than the Chu Family’s Chu Xiang. However, at present, his entire body was petrified.

In Jiang Chen’s plan, this Chu Xiang was very important, and so he would refine him into a Petrification Puppet.

As a True Qi Realm spirit beast, Xiao Luan could refine two Petrification Puppets. If she could reach the Gang Qi Realm, she would be able to refine three. Of course, if a Petrification Puppet was too weak and useless, it could be abandoned and a new Petrification Puppet could be refined in its place, as long as the limits weren’t exceeded.

Who knew how long later, the petrification aura on Chu Xiang’s body was completely withdrawn and transformed into a Petrification Nucleus.

Xiao Luan’s second Petrification Puppet had been refined.

Chu Xiang abruptly opened his eyes. His aura hadn’t changed at all, and even his soul consciousness was the same as before. Unless it was a Martial Marquis or Soul Marquis-level powerhouse who had comprehended laws, it would be impossible to sense Chu Xiang’s abnormality. Otherwise, not even Venerable-level powerhouses would be able to discover it.

This was the formidable aspect of Petrification Puppets. It was just unfortunate that the number of Petrification Puppets was limited, otherwise they would be absolutely monstrous.

A vague figure slowly walked out of the sphere of light in the center of the platform. It was the appearance of Jiang Chen. After he had used the Azure Dragon Soul Token to refine the Soul Testing Tower, he had left behind a Soul Consciousness imprint in
