Chapter 29: Power that has increased immensely
The area was shrouded in wailing and sorrow. After everyone heard Xiao Chen's account of the events inside the secret kingdom, shock and disbelief began to spread. Everyone realized they needed to rush back to their strongholds to prepare for the upcoming changes and inform their leaders of this news as soon as possible, disregarding the massive losses — from an initial 15,000 people, only about 300 had emerged.
"The Blood Demon Sacred Land!" one person said with frustration. "Did they really do this?"
As the investigation concluded, the disciples and leaders all looked towards the Blood Demon Sacred Land. However, once their group returned fully, the Blood Demon Sacred Land immediately activated a formation to escape. Everyone felt frustrated, suspicious, and harbored resentment, regardless of whether the Blood Demon Sacred Land was truly responsible.
"The Blood Demon Sacred Land! They must be involved, if not entirely."
"We need an explanation from the Blood Demon Sacred Land!"
"They must pay for this. The Blood Demon Sacred Land!"
"The Blood Demon Sacred Land! I will kill them all!"
Fang Qin, who had witnessed the entire event, was uninterested in these reactions and asked, "Who inherited the legacy?"
Everyone immediately focused their attention. Xiao Chen responded despairingly, "No one inherited the legacy."
Fang Qin and the others asked further, "Why not?"
Xiao Chen replied, "He said I was too weak and did not deserve his legacy. However, he mentioned that Jiang Yun had the potential and capability to inherit it. But upon discovering Jiang Yun's excessively cruel nature, he decided not to grant it to anyone. He did, however, give us both some medicine and sent us out, but Jiang Yun refused it. He then attacked the spirit and was severely injured in retaliation."
Fang Qin showed his anger and said, "Such arrogance. Well, I'll lend a hand to send you to hell." Fang Qin moved towards Jiang Yun with the intention of attacking immediately.
Suddenly, Ye Chen stepped in bravely to block the attack. Despite his severe injuries, he said,
"The Misty Sacred Land must not be insulted."
The situation escalated. Zhang Yu and his four sisters, along with other survivors, began to appreciate Ye Chen's actions. Seeing him come to Jiang Yun's aid made Zhang Yu like Ye Chen even more and hate Jiang Yun even more.
Fang Qin was indifferent and said, "Do you think it's worth it to come out and protect someone like that? I don't understand."
Ye Chen replied with a smile, "Because he is my senior brother."
Everyone present was surprised and admired Ye Chen for his bravery. Zhang Xinye and the other female disciples felt reassured.
Fang Qin, Xiao Chen, Shui Meng, and the others were slightly shocked by this. Fang Qin smiled and said he did not actually want to kill Jiang Yun. He just wanted to regain the lost prestige and did not want to fight with the Misty Sacred Land. He added,
"Fine, I'll let him go this time. Next time, beware not to cross paths with me again."
Ye Chen smiled and thanked everyone before they all returned to their forces to prepare for the coming changes. Jiang Yun, lying in Mu Shuyuan's arms, smiled coldly.
On the Misty Sacred Land's airship, a sorrowful atmosphere enveloped the entire area. Disciples from the Misty Sacred Land felt sorrowful over the loss of many disciples. Li Dongyu spoke angrily after hearing Xiao Chen's account,
"Jiang Yun is selfish. He survived only for himself, even though he could have helped others."
"It's truly disappointing that such a person is the Sacred Son of the Misty Sacred Land."
One disciple, already disliking Jiang Yun, spoke up, "He forced resources from ordinary disciples for his followers. In the end, they all died, leaving only Senior Brother Mu Shuyuan."
"I experienced it myself. They wore masks and broke in, forcing us to give up half of our resources, or else we would be severely beaten."
These words severely tarnished Jiang Yun's reputation. Zhang Yu, who harbored deep hatred for Jiang Yun, chose to do nothing and waited to return to the Sacred Land to let the Holy Deity decide.
In a room on the airship, Jiang Yun immediately summoned the system and asked, "How was the harvest?"
[Congratulations to the host for eliminating and killing the Children of Destiny, the Daughters of Destiny, and the Lucky Ones. The host has received 1,200,000,000,000 villain points, 3024 mid-tier gift boxes, and 11165 low-tier gift boxes.]
The system continued, [I deducted the cost for helping you find the center of the secret kingdom, plus the previous debt you owed for charms and materials. Approximately 1.2 trillion remains.]
Jiang Yun thought and asked the system, "Where did the extra 400 billion go?"
[You're very good at math. Could you teach me?]
"Where did the 400 billion go?" Jiang Yun asked impatiently.
[You made a calculation error. Trust me, host.]
Jiang Yun fell silent and said, "I killed 14,189 people and drew luck from those with high luck."
[Ding. Congratulations to the host for working diligently. I award this 400 billion points to encourage the host to continue accumulating luck points ?? (???) ??]
Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Can I request a bit more?"
[System temporarily disconnected]
Jiang Yun ignored it and told the system to upgrade itself.
[Understood, Host]
[Yayyyyyyy ? (ò _ ó) ?]
[Upgrade complete (??_??) ?]
Jiang Yun asked, "I don't see any changes at all. What kind of upgrade did you do? Are you deceiving me? I want my points back."
[Look at this first, Host. The system shop prices are now reduced by a factor of 10, and the discounts in the black market range from 80 to 100 percent. The system has upgraded the lottery function to help you obtain items at lower prices. Also, when this world merges with the true Tian Yuan world, I will be automatically upgraded to better serve you in the true Tian Yuan world as well.]
Jiang Yun was silent and asked, "How often does your black market appear?"
[After the upgrade, about 9 months, Host.]
Jiang Yun stopped speaking and asked, "How long would it have been before the upgrade?"
The system replied, [I look towards a bright future and do not focus on past events, Host.]
Jiang Yun complained as he looked at the system panel with the very large lottery icon, "Can you make your lottery icon smaller?"
[Of course, Host.]
Then the icon gradually expanded and the system was immediately divided into 8 sections.
[Host, please calm down. You've been cutting me open too often lately. I just pressed the wrong button. The expand and shrink buttons are very close together.]
Jiang Yun cursed the system inwardly and ordered the system to upgrade his cultivation to the highest level of Emperor and hide it for him.
[Understood, Host. After a 10-fold discount, it is approximately 1.6 billion.]
His cultivation was increased:
Great Saint, Level 1
.......
.......
Great Saint, Level 9
......
Half-Emperor, Level 3
......
Half-Emperor, Level 5
...
......
Half-Emperor, Level 9
Emperor, Level 1
......
......
Emperor, Level 7
.....
Emperor, Level 9
Peak Emperor
He thought about something regarding the Misty Sacred Land, smiled, and said:
"System, consolidate all the gift boxes into the highest tier."
[Congratulations to the Host for consolidating into 45 high-tier gift boxes. I'll add 1 more box for you. Do you want to open it now?]
Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Finally, you're somewhat useful."
The system responded, [I've always been useful, Host, but you've devalued the system with your understanding that I don't know how to compare it.]
....... 3 Months Later
Amidst the chaos that spread throughout the Tian Yuan world, the news of the loss of a genius at the Emperor level became a driving force pushing all parties into a frenzied war. Every land scrambled to vie for and defend their own. New alliances were formed to control and maintain power. The world plunged into complete turmoil.
Amidst these changes, on the summit of the Sacred Son Peak in the Misty Sacred Land, Jiang Yun stood magnificently against the strong winds. Surrounding him was a powerful silver aura as he summoned the system and opened the data panel.

Looking at the data displayed on the control panel, Jiang Yun smiled with satisfaction. His eyes shone with determination as he summoned the Samsara Clone. "How is the situation now?" he asked with an authoritative tone.
The Samsara Clone, one of his separated selves, appeared before him and responded respectfully, "After the increase in wars, many people have died, and we have gathered a vast amount of body origins. We now have 13 Samsara Clones, each at the Peak Emperor level. With the Peak Emperor Time Form you set, we have 125 Sacred Bodies at the Half-Emperor level, ranging from Level 1 to Level 3. Additionally, there are 834 Emperor Bodies at the Saint King level, from Level 1 to Great Saint level 5."
Jiang Yun listened with satisfaction. "What about the King and Heaven bodies?"
The Samsara Clone continued, "We have 1,480 King bodies, with cultivation ranging from Saint King level 3 to Saint level 1, and 19,280 Heaven bodies at Saint level 1 and above. Also, all 11 of your followers have reached Half-Emperor level 1."
Suddenly, a shout came from outside, "Jiang Yun! Come out!"
Jiang Yun chuckled softly. "Prepare the Samsara Clones and summon Mu Shuyuan," he commanded with a voice full of confidence and anticipation.
The Samsara Clone bowed and vanished immediately to carry out the orders. As Jiang Yun stood still, he felt the flow of energy spreading throughout his body. The smile on his face reflected his determination and the hidden plans in his mind. "It's time..." he thought to himself.
