Chapter 1058: Chapter 567: Breakthrough, Primordial Spirit Peak!

About three breaths later, the starlight emitted a faint glow.

Jiang He… came online.

“How’s the cultivation going?”

Jiang He never bothered with pleasantries, always diving straight into the matter, which Chen Yuan was accustomed to, so he answered earnestly:

“Everything is going smoothly, my cultivation has reached the peak of the Primordial Spirit.”

Faced with Chen Yuan’s candor, Jiang He paused noticeably on his end, reacting only moments later, saying calmly:

“Hmm… not bad.”

Although his demeanor seemed unchanged, Jiang He, seated in the Heavenly Patrol Hall in Qingzhou, nearly spilled his tea on the table, his mood far from calm.

He originally thought Chen Yuan would be in seclusion for a day or two, barely pushing his Primordial Spirit a little higher.

Unexpectedly, he directly ascended to the peak of the Primordial Spirit!

Hasn’t it been just over a month since he broke through at Wudang Mountain?

Thinking about Chen Yuan, Jiang He fell silent.

This guy’s talent is extraordinarily rare, unparalleled in history, and unlikely to be paralleled in the future.

If he didn’t know Chen Yuan’s cultivation was always solid, he would have thought Chen Yuan had resorted to consuming pills for his cultivation.

But even with pills, it couldn’t be this fast.

He really couldn’t understand it.

Almost believed Chen Yuan was a great power reincarnated, cultivating anew.

“What a pity, still some distance from the Refining God.”

Chen Yuan sighed lightly.

Jiang He: “…”

“Indeed it’s quite a pity, I thought you had directly reached Yang God.”

After another moment of silence, he spoke directly.

Giving Chen Yuan no chance to brag.

“How’s Brother Jiang’s cultivation?”

Chen Yuan asked casually.

“Hmm… it’s okay, should be able to kill a normal Yang God.”

Chen Yuan: “…..”

Yang God is as common as cabbage?

But thinking about Jiang He’s talent, he let it go; he’s not much weaker than him, many years of accumulation, nobody knows exactly what stage he’s reached.

Last time he could directly match Pu Xian.

After half a year apart, surely he’s even stronger.

Good.

Very good.

Very very good.

The stronger the better.

If Jiang He could kill an Immortal, he’d be even happier; then there’d be no need to worry about Kunba? Just kill Jingtai and the hidden Immortal of the Sima Family.

“How are things?”

After briefly chatting about mundane matters, Chen Yuan began to ask about serious business.

Jiang He didn’t pause or conceal:

“This matter was handed to Brother Evil Ghost Dao, he’s gone to kill Lu Renjia, the Golden Envoy of Shuzhou.”

“Is he dead?” Chen Yuan asked.

“Dead.”

“That’s good….”

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, a Dan Realm Master naturally doesn’t weigh much for him now, but the fall of a Golden Envoy is a major event, likely attracting Jingtai’s attention.

If the Northern Barbarians attacked again, it would be more appropriate, let’s see if he’s still interested in granting marriages.

Unfortunately, without a decade or two of recuperation, the ancient Golden Royal Court probably won’t take action.

“But it wasn’t him who killed….”

Jiang He continued again.

“Hmm???”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan’s brows furrowed instantly.

If it wasn’t someone from the Taoist Divine Palace who killed, could anyone else have targeted Lu Renjia?

“Who killed him?”

Chen Yuan immediately pursued.

This matter benefits him, but he doesn’t want to be kept in the dark; the more information he gets, the easier it is to judge the current situation.

“I don’t know.”

“Such a big thing and you don’t know who killed him?”

“I don’t know.”

“Why didn’t you say before?”

Chen Yuan’s furrowed brow deepened, feeling something was off.

“You were in seclusion, no need to distract you.”

Chen Yuan: “…..”

“However, even though we don’t know who did it, everyone here is rumored to say it was No-Life Sect’s demons who acted, directly destroying Shuzhou’s Heavenly Patrol Bureau headquarters, including significant losses to Shuzhou’s government, the state governor almost died.”

Jiang He continued.

“Impossible.”

Chen Yuan instinctively rejected the idea.

No-Life Sect has only been established for a few decades, although strong, their foundation can’t be too deep, where would they get the nerve to tear face with the court directly?

With the Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s finest dispatched and the court furious, how could it survive?

After all, this is a matter that blatantly provokes the court.

Moreover…

Chen Yuan frowned, looking towards the Imperial City, he had long known Jingtai wasn’t quite right, likely involved with Demon Dao demons, and his suspect was No-Life Sect.

This isn’t groundless speculation, nor out of nowhere.

There is a shred of evidence.

Dating back to the Royal Family’s ancestral sacrifice, the Taoist Divine Palace wreaked havoc in the Imperial City during that battle.

To make the commotion bigger, Su Ziyue, specifically in charge of this matter, passed it on to the Seven Killings Hall, Heavenly Demon Hall, and No-Life Sect, which has surged recently.

But in that battle, Heavenly Demon Hall came, Seven Killings Hall had no movement, and the ever eager-to-stir No-Life Sect was utterly silent.

Most importantly, Jingtai had been informed of this affair in advance.

While leakage during transmission is possible, Chen Yuan still directed suspicion towards No-Life Sect, even secretly sent Su Ziyue and forces from Tangshan Prefecture to investigate.

Unfortunately, to date, there’s little to show for it.

Seven Killings Hall has assassinated Great Jin’s princes, senior officials, and even made attempts on several strong figures from the Sima Family, one of the ten Immortal Sects, existing for at least several centuries.

No way they’re tied to the Sima Family.

No-Life Sect, although unlikely, if all possibilities are eliminated, the last impossibility could be the truth.

Thus, Chen Yuan has always harbored doubts.

Upon hearing that it was No-Life Sect who killed Shuzhou’s Golden Envoy Lu Renjia, his first thought was it couldn’t be.

“No one knows the truth, perhaps it was No-Life Sect, or perhaps not, as long as the goal is achieved, it clears your suspicion.”

Jiang He said solemnly.

Chen Yuan’s brow furrowed deeply, sensing problems within, the Southern scene having stirred such a commotion is indeed good news for him, but… it also muddied the waters.

Making things unclear.

“Brother Jiang is correct.”

“Alright, since you’ve already broken through, I’ll leave you to it, continue your cultivation.” Jiang He promptly said.

“Okay.”

“Goodbye.”

“Wait a minute.”

Chen Yuan called out to him.

“Anything else?”

“Next time, say everything at once, don’t leave things hanging.”

“Hmm.”

Jiang He responded.

“Farewell.”

Chen Yuan prepared to cut off the contact.

Who could have anticipated Jiang He speaking again:

“Wait, I have one more thing to say…..”
