My Nine Female Apprentices Are The Most Powerful People - Chapter 22

The first four realms of martial arts were Spirit, Physical, Conception, and Origin. Those above the Origin Realm were in the Dao Realm.

Jiang Chen’s current cultivation was at the late stage of the Spirit Realm, but the late stage of his Spirit Realm was different from the average late stage of the Spirit Realm.

The average late stage of the Spirit Realm couldn’t compare to the early stage of the Physical Realm because of the strength of nine spiritual meridians. However, Jiang Chen had already opened forty spiritual meridians. Even if he was up against a powerhouse at the late stage of the Physical Realm, he would still win.

Even a powerhouse at the early stage of the Conception Realm might not be able to defeat Jiang Chen by relying on True Qi alone.

However, each realm had its own uniqueness.

No matter how rich Jiang Chen’s True Qi was, he couldn’t compete with a powerhouse at the Origin Realm. The only thing he could do now was to break through quickly.

However, Jiang Chen was progressing slowly… He couldn’t break through to the Origin Realm in seven days, let alone fight with an elder of Yan Sect who was at the Dao Realm.

“Since I can’t break through in seven days, I should make some other plans!”

Standing beside the Sect Leader’s throne, Jiang Chen squinted and murmured.

Then, Jiang Chen took a deep breath. After calming himself down, he activated the spirit gathering array again and started to cultivate.

Time passed slowly!

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. During this day, Jiang Chen managed to open the remaining two spiritual meridians, opening a total of forty-two spiritual meridians.

“The last step is to form the constellation. The constellation won’t die out, and the True Qi will be endless!”

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. He was worried about this last step.

After all, looking back on the past and the present, there was no lack of peerless geniuses.

Of course, other people had also practiced the constellation of nine turns technique. However, all of them had stopped after opening forty-two spiritual meridians!

‘Although I’ve already succeeded once, I still have to be very careful. Otherwise, if I fail, I won’t be able to recuperate in a year or so.’

While Jiang Chen was preparing for the last step, Lou Shan’s figure appeared in Jiang Chen’s vision.

“The array formation has already been set up. Why don’t you go back to the Array Pavilion? What else do you want from me?” Looking at Lou Shan in his eyes, Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly.

“Well… I do have something to ask of you.”

“The True Martial Sect is extremely short-handed. I can see that you’re severely lacking in the arrays department. Besides, it’s very suitable to study the Dao of array formations here…”

The more he said, the redder Lou Shan’s face became. But he still mentioned his purpose in the end.

“I intend to lead an array master of the Array Pavilion to stay in the True Martial Sect.”

“Since I was young, I’ve always dreamt of one thing. My dream was to restore the True Martial Sect to its former glory!”

Lou Shan offered himself. But Jiang Chen almost couldn’t hold back his laughter when he heard that.

The True Martial Sect’s glory could only be restored by an array master?

It was impossible!

“That’s enough. You could’ve just told me that you wanted to stay here. We’re lacking array masters here anyway!”

Lou Shan became excited when he heard this.

He had been worried that Jiang Chen would chase them away, but now, he was finally relieved.

“I’ve already given you the blueprint of the incomplete Nine Mystics Array. It should be enough for you to study for a while. If you want to make a contribution to the True Martial Sect, then I’ll teach you some more array formations that are just as good as the incomplete Nine Mystics Array.”

“Yeah,yeah. That is our dearest wish. We wish to do everything to help restore the True Martial Sect to its former glory!”

Lou Shan agreed without any hesitation.

As for whether Jiang Chen was lying to him or not, it didn’t matter to him.

After all, how could a person, who could set up an array formation of the heaven-grade or even beyond the heaven-grade, not have other array formations?

Moreover, he didn’t spend the past few days in the True Martial Sect for nothing. The Pavilion Master of the Pill Pavilion, Tong Mu, and more than half of the Pill Pavilion’s alchemists stayed in the True Martial Sect too.

Jiang Chen must be extraordinary to be able to make so many alchemists stay here.

“Oh right. I’ll let you comprehend this earth-grade array formation then. I think you have many array masters who aren’t skilled enough, so it will be difficult for you to comprehend them.”

“This earth-grade array formation is perfect for you to train.” Jiang Chen handed a blueprint of another array to Lou Shan.

Looking at the 300 or so array patterns in the blueprint of this earth-grade array formation, Lou Shan’s mouth twitched.

“Earth-grade array formation… Only Jiang Chen would dare say that!”

“Also, Master, what grade is the incomplete Nine Mystics Array? It is obviously much stronger than the heaven-grade.”

Lou Shan asked with a curious attitude.

“Its power is indeed greater than the heaven-grade. It should be of the chen-grade Formation!”

The first four grades of the formation were divided into heaven, earth, Xuan, yellow, and heaven grade.

After the heaven grade was the sun, moon, star, and chen.

The True Martial Sect’s incomplete Nine Mystics Array had already reached the chen-grade. It was simply terrifying.

One had to know that in a remote and small place like the Northern Mountain City, even the heaven-grade formation did not exist. As for the chen-grade formation, perhaps no one had even heard of it.

“Oh right. I will give you guys one day to finish setting up the array. If you can do that, the blueprint is yours.”

“As for the materials required for setting up the arrays, you need to pay for it yourself. After all, your stay here will not be for free. Besides, my True Martial Sect is already too poor.”

‘Uh… that’s a f*cking rip-off. Why are you such a scrooge!’ Lou Shan thought to himself.

He didn’t dare say it out loud.

“Yes, master. I’ll take my leave now.”

…

The reason why Jiang Chen asked Lou Shan to set up the arrays was, of course, to prepare for breaking through the last barrier of the Spirit Realm.

The array formation was called the Spirit-Gathering Array. It could gather one’s essence, energy, and spirit. When one made a breakthrough, it could also stabilize their cultivation and spiritual meridians.

However, besides this array, Jiang Chen still had to brew a pill.

After a short while, Jiang Chen arrived at the alchemy room. As soon as he entered the alchemy room, he saw a familiar figure, Jiang Yan.

He was the only person in the True Martial Sect who could be of great use, and he also possessed the Primordial Divine Physique.

“Brother Chen!” Jiang Yan also saw Jiang Chen and ran over excitedly.

However, when Jiang Yan called out Jiang Chen’s name, he felt something was amiss, so he hurriedly changed his words.

“Greetings, Sect Master!”

“You silly lad. No matter what I become, I will always be your Old Brother Chen.”

Jiang Chen patted Jiang Yan’s shoulder and said with a smile.

They were both from the Jiang Clan of Qin Plains.

Since Jiang Chen had taken over his body completely, he would now consider himself as a member of Jiang Family and would treat Jiang Chen’s brother as his own.

Of course, Jiang Chen had to admit that Jiang Yan was his sworn brother.

“Brother Chen… It feels as if you’ve changed a lot. In the past, you and I were the same.”

“Not only has your temperament changed, but your aptitude in cultivation has also become so great,” Jiang Yan said with emotion..
