My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration

Chapter 236: I, The Client!

Mu Chunyang actually made an exorbitant demand at this moment. From the 50% share he had mentioned to Shenshan Jianyi at the beginning, it was directly changed to 70%.

It was obvious that he looked down on rural cultivators and was determined to conquer the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region.

The complete map of the cultivation world should be the Nine Provinces Continent, the Azure Cloud Continent, the Eastern Region, and the Great Mountain Region.

Eight thousand to nine thousand years ago, at the beginning of the era of the spiritual qi resurgence.

Due to the fact that the spiritual qi was still quite thin at that time, the number of cultivators in that era was few and not systematic. Moreover, their strength was not strong, and they were unable to exist independently from the secular world.

At that time, in the Eastern Region Azure Cloud Continent, a huge dynasty that was bestowed the title of Netherworld City God was born.

At that time, cultivators basically lived among the kings and emperors. They were far from the current status and freedom of cultivators today.

However, under the allocation of the dynasty's resources, the initial performance of the Eastern Region's cultivation world was also flourishing at an exaggerated speed.

That era lasted for about a thousand years. After the cultivators became stronger, they finally broke up the dynasty's resources in an unavoidable coup.

After that, they each occupied a mountaintop and stood aloof from worldly affairs, forming the current situation in the cultivation world of the Eastern Region and Azure Cloud Continent.

However, the problem was that the entire Eastern Region of the Great Mountain Region was relatively remote and surrounded by mountains. Transportation was very inconvenient.

Coupled with some historical reasons, the Great Mountain Region did not catch up to the first wave of development in the cultivation world during the era of the cultivation dynasty.

Later on, this unlucky place experienced two terrible periods where demon kings ruled and demons rampaged.

They had been in a state of war for a long time. It was not until nearly 200 years ago that they began to develop seriously.

The strength of the Great Mountain Region Cultivation World was naturally much inferior.

This was also the reason why the other powers in the Eastern Region were confident in coming to the Great Mountain Region to behave atrociously.

"70%? Impossible! That Medicine Garden Mystic Realm appeared in the Great Mountain Region, it belongs to us! You want to take 70% just like that? Then will our Great Mountain have left?"

This time, it was the Immortal Ascension Pavilion that spoke.

The words of the new Immortal Ascension Pavilion's Pavilion Master sounded like he was fighting for justice.

However, this made the higher-ups of the few large sects sitting at the front frown.

How could negotiations be conducted in such a manner? The Immortal Ascension Pavilion's Pavilion Master's words implied that the Great Mountain Region was the weakest group.

It was as if he was begging the other party to show mercy and take away less of the share.

This method directly shook the confidence of those small sects in the Great Mountain Region.

However, on second thought, this Immortal Ascension Pavilion was only a branch established by the Eastern Region's Immortal Ascension Pavilion. At the critical moment, it was very normal for them to side with outsiders.

"Everyone, you have to know that strength is respected in the Eastern Region. The Divine Judgment Hall will only protect their alliance forces. Your Great Mountain Region is not under their protection."

This Divine Judgment Hall was a joint organization of the Azure Cloud Continent's sects. It was similar to the righteous path alliance of the Great Mountain Region, but they were hundreds or thousands of times stronger. Moreover, there was no distinction between good and evil.

Even if it was a proper demonic sect like the Myriad Slaughter Sect, as long as there was a senior elder vouching for it and the force reached the requirements, they could also join the Divine Judgment Hall.

After hearing about the threat of the Myriad Slaughter Sect, many of the higher-ups of the Great Mountain Region wanted to seek the protection of the Divine Judgment Hall.

However, Mu Chunyang seemed to have guessed their thoughts and blocked this chance in advance.

"Yellow Sea Region, Giant Rock Forest, and High Red Plains. Everyone has been staying in the Great Mountain Region all year round. Perhaps you don't know these three names."

"They are the three cultivation regions that the Myriad Slaughter Sect destroyed in 800 years. The Great Mountain Region might be the next."

The young man from the Mu family sneered. He looked at the group of nervous representatives from the Great Mountain Region and felt very proud.

"We have to protect the Great Mountain Region from them. 70% of the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm is not too much."

"This is the mercy of our Mu family. How can we take a mere Medicine Garden Mystic Realm seriously?"

"Everyone, please think carefully. If you reject my Mu family, the Great Mountain Region will be destroyed by the butcher's knife."

Mu Chunyang arrogantly threatened the higher-ups of the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region.

If Shenshan Jianyi and the others really wanted to attack, the Soul Formation cultivators brought by the other party would definitely not be able to protect him.

However, there was an extremely ancient and powerful existence in the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest.

If they acted rashly and angered that person, there might not be anyone who could stand up to him in the entire Great Mountain Region.

Just as the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region fell silent, a voice sounded from afar.

"This is the first time I've heard someone make the collection of a protection fee sound so righteous."

"I really didn't expect that the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest still had to worry about our Great Mountain Region's local resources."

A dragon roar sounded from the sky as the Wood Dragon Rayquaza twisted its elegant and dignified figure as it tore through the air.

The ground shook and cracked. The light in the entire venue dimmed as the Wind Protection Giant approached.

His exaggerated body covered the sky and sun, causing the cultivators present to cry out repeatedly. However, he did not do anything dangerous. He only sat on the edge of the venue and lowered his head to look at the group of ants below.

Behind them, fifteen battered warships followed closely behind. The ship was covered in ravines and scratches. With a glance, the smell of blood and fire assaulted their faces.

A moment later, Jiang Li walked into the venue. Behind him, twelve Soul Formation cultivators floated in the air, and thousands of cultivators from the three sects followed quietly.

They had just retreated from the cruel battlefield and the ferocity in their eyes had yet to fade. Those gazes made Mu Chunyang subconsciously take two steps back.

"Who are you!"

Mu Chunyang quickly realized that he had lost his composure and looked at Jiang Li who walked into the center of the venue in anger.

Originally, he had single-handedly suppressed the entire cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region until no one spoke, greatly satisfying his vanity.

However, how could a Foundation Establishment cultivator at this age dare to stand in front of him?

Jiang Li ignored him and only glanced indifferently before leading all the cultivators behind him into the venue and facing the cultivators of the Great Mountain Region.

"Disciple Jiang Li greets Valley Master, Sword Head Shenshan, Abbot Le Ku, and the various Seniors."

"The Hundred Tempering Mountain colluded with the Black Lotus Divine Sect to sacrifice and slaughter lives. They summoned foreign monsters and attempted to overturn our Great Mountain Region's hundred years of peace."

"There are 17,300 of them. Currently, 15,800 of them have been executed. The stolen demonic artifact has been found as well…"

Jiang Li reported the results in front of everyone in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. The thousands of cultivators stood behind him, causing the group of cultivators in the Great Mountain Region to be shocked.

This was actually something that they had discussed long ago. On the way back, the alliance army had heard about the Shu Mountain Immortal Cultivation Assembly.

The Mu family of the Peach Forest had been colluding with several sects using the Myriad Slaughter Sect to pressure all the cultivators of the Great Mountain Region, causing them to be very passive.

The Sect Masters of the three major sects had all come to deal with this problem. They planned to negotiate an acceptable outcome.

However, in the venue, the person who spoke was a young junior.

This was clearly meant to disgust them.

If they argued with a junior until their faces turned red, not only would it be useless, they would also lower their status.

At this time, they needed a capable junior who could suppress the situation and had a suitable status to speak to the other party.

On the other hand, Jiang Li who had distinguished himself in the battle earlier was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

A group of post-war cultivators squeezed into the venue, pushing Mu Chunyang to the corner. He was so angry that his expression kept changing.

"Very good! You did well. You're Jiang Li, right? You performed very well…"

As if they had forgotten about the negotiation, the three great sects held a celebratory banquet.

A large number of Asura World monster corpses were thrown out from the storage artifacts.

The smell of blood and the chaotic power that was different from the cultivation world spread out. This kind of thing could not be faked at all. It made those small sects and rogue cultivators finally understand what the Hundred Tempering Mountain had done before.

The celebration ceremony was bustling and grand.

However, the few sect envoys from the Eastern Region were deliberately ignored. Their expressions were ugly. Clearly, they were very dissatisfied with the actions of the Great Mountain Cultivators.

Earlier, Mu Chunyang had arrogantly wanted to suppress the Great Mountain Region, but in the blink of an eye, they used the sudden appearance of the returning cultivators to suppress the situation.

The three great sects announced their actions this time with great fanfare.

They took turns to complain about the Hundred Tempering Mountain's actions.

Moreover, it was especially emphasized that the Hundred Tempering Mountain's Sect Master and Old Demon Black Lotus were still alive and were threatening the Great Mountain Region at any time.

Now that the troubles in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region had just settled, there were external threats again. At this time, what was most needed was unity. A threat that could attack at any moment was the best way to unite the hearts of people.

They even invited other sects and rogue cultivators to help clean up the battlefield on the spot. While dealing with the trouble, this made them understand that the tragic battle would continue to ruthlessly increase their prestige in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region.

In the cultivation world, one had to let others know what they had done. Otherwise, how could others know that they had just saved the world?

The temporary commendation lasted for nearly an hour, causing Mu Chunyang and the others of the Eastern Region to almost fly into a rage before barely ending it.

The Mu family of the Peach Forest was very powerful, but they only had a few envoys this time.

Due to their influence, the Great Mountain could not attack. However, if they took the initiative to attack, they would only be slapped in the face on the spot.

Soon, it was time. The cultivators of the three sects slowly retreated, leaving Jiang Li standing on the stage.

"Young man, why? Aren't you going to introduce yourself after standing there for so long?"

Jiang Li turned around and looked at Mu Chunyang with an appraising gaze, and his expression was even more arrogant and disdainful than the other party.

"Eastern Region's Mu Family, Mu Chunyang!"

Being called a young man by a disciple who was obviously much younger than him, this made Mu Chunyang's temperament unable to endure any longer. He gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Oh, no wonder you look so feminine. As expected, you don't have enough Connate Yang qi. That's why you have this name."

"My Great Mountain knows why you're here. Isn't it just 70%? No problem."

Jiang Li's first sentence almost angered the other party to the point of directly attacking. However, the latter sentence made Mu Chunyang forcefully suppress his anger.

He thought to himself that he, Mu Chunyang, would not argue with these bumpkins and barely controlled himself.

"You can make the decision?"

Mu Chunyang was not really on a family mission this time. The Mu family was really not that free.

He was relying on his family's name to gain something without risking anything of his own. He wanted to obtain a large amount of benefits for nothing and at the same time, display his ability and increase his status in the family.

Everything that he had said earlier was only half-truths. He was only using his status in the Mu family to reap benefits.

This was news that Jiang Li had obtained from his good friend, Huangfu Tai, from the Immortal Ascension Pavilion's headquarters. This Mu Chunyang was really vicious.

Jiang Li gestured at the cultivators in the Great Mountain Region to calm down and continued.

"Of course."

"Alright, so be it…"

When Mu Chunyang heard this, he immediately wanted to settle the matter. However, the thrifty Jiang Li would not let him do as he wished.

"Wait a minute, 70% of the share of the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm is not a problem, or even 80%."

"But since you said you want to protect us, tell us now."

"What plans does your family have? What advantages do you have? How many top-notch cultivators can you send to guard the Great Mountain Region every year? How much can you do when facing the enemies of the Great Mountain Region?"

When Jiang Li said 80%, the many sect representatives behind him almost exploded. If not for his identity as a war hero, they would have blasted Jiang Li off the stage on the spot.

"Plan? Advantage? What are you talking about?"

Mu Chunyang looked a little stunned. He had clearly never had the experience of having his proposal rejected by a client.

"That's right. You have to know that there are so many sects in the Eastern Region. If you don't have a plan and don't have an advantage over the other sects, why would I choose you?"

"At the same price, why don't we choose a stronger and more righteous sect that can provide us with more help to defend the Great Mountain Region?"

"Just because you don't have enough Connate Yang qi?"

Jiang Li's eccentric tone, especially his last sentence, finally angered the other party.

"How dare you! A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator! I'll let you know how powerful my Mu family is!"

Mu Chunyang did not know how to respond. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and actually directly erupted with a powerful Golden Core aura. His hand formed a claw and only pounced at Jiang Li.

As if to prove himself, he emitted a strong Yang attribute aura.

Mu Chunyang was definitely not more than 25 years old, but his cultivation had actually reached the Golden Core realm! This kind of cultivation at this age was simply unbelievable in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region!

The many cultivators from the small sects behind stood up in shock.

However, the cultivators of the three sects in front of them were sitting calmly without any intention of saving the situation.

Not only did this precious disciple of the Scripture Storage Valley not become ordinary after reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, but his strength had also advanced by leaps and bounds. It could be said that he had risen with the wind and displayed incomprehensible strength in the Hundred Tempering Mountain battle.

A mere Golden Core cultivator could not obstruct him.

Jiang Li smiled lightly. The other party had finally lost his bearings.

Then, he raised his hand and casually punched out.

Boom!

Yang Wood and Yin Wood, these two opposing and powerful spiritual qi collided and did not give way to each other.

This Mu Chunyang was definitely not an ordinary person even among Golden Core cultivators. His claw-like hand seemed to have turned into a tree of spring, and his vitality surged with Yang qi.

If Jiang Li did not have the inner armor of the Nine Nether clone, he would definitely suffer a huge loss.

However, with the Nine Nether Wood, Jiang Li basically could not lose to anyone under the Nascent Soul realm.

In this fight between a Golden Core and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Mu Chunyang took three steps back. The life force in his hand withered and was forcefully suppressed by the Nine Nether spiritual qi.

The final result was truly shocking.

"What? This is what you have to show? As expected, you lack Yang qi. This is the first time I've seen such a weak Golden Core."

Jiang Li's words should have made the other party furious.

However, the other party held his trembling palm and looked at him with surprise.

Moreover, the few cultivators from the Peach Forest's Mu family suddenly stood up and stared fixedly at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at his palm and felt a little strange. Although this Mu Chunyang was very annoying, he was actually not weak. Instead, he was very powerful.

However… What was this feeling?

When the spiritual qi collided, he clearly felt an extremely intense conflict, as if the two sides were originally opposing each other.

"What cultivation method are you cultivating?"

"No! What are you exactly!"

The Soul Formation cultivator from the Mu Clan instantly vanished on the spot. In the next moment, he appeared before Jiang Li, and then he raised his hand and pressed down.

He actually attacked Jiang Li in front of the entire Great Mountain Region!

1. Chunyang means Pure Yang.
