I invite you to be the Divisional Master of Triumph Mountain.

Chen Xia's consciousness.

The crimson-eyed "Chen Xia" carrying a contemptuous smile had half of the remnant soul from the flesh and blood statue in his hand, casually squeezing it.

Not far away was half an Immortal Sword, directed at "Chen Xia", emitting a faint hum, as if extremely eager for the soul of this flesh and blood statue.

The crimson "Chen Xia" casually threw the soul in his hand and gave it to the half Immortal Sword.

I saw the Immortal Sword turn, its sword tip stabbed into this half soul, and it began to greedily absorb it. The soul was like a stream, completely pouring into the half Immortal Sword.

The sword light on the Immortal Sword flashed, as if even the blade had become brighter, extremely excited.

The remnants of this flesh and blood statue were considered an extremely large supplement for the half Immortal Sword.

The "crimson" Chen Xia closed his eyes, sank into his consciousness, and gradually disappeared.

He was Chen Xia’s inner demon, not yet fully formed, and could not directly affect the main body. He could only lie dormant in Chen Xia's soul. If it wasn't for the flesh and blood statue entering Chen Xia's consciousness, he would have been too lazy to awaken.

The personality of every inner demon is the opposite of the host, but the inner demon is not evil and will not harm the host body, because after all, they share the same origin.

But for cultivators, the inner demon is a bad thing. Cultivation requires single-minded focus to comprehend the Great Dao.

The existence of the inner demon will affect the cultivator's thoughts, causing the cultivator to stop advancing in their cultivation, or even deviate from their original Great Dao.

These are extremely dangerous things on the path of cultivation.

That's why there is talk of slaying the inner demon. This is a road that all Heaven Mending Realm cultivators must take, no exceptions.

Chen Xia did not know what was happening inside him. He just felt a little dizzy. Although confused, he could not figure out why, so he did not think too much about it. However, Qin Ji, who was watching from a great distance, frowned deeply, because he discovered that Chen Xia showed no signs of being possessed, and he could no longer connect with the flesh and blood statue.

What was going on here?

He felt strange with brows furrowed. He had an ominous premonition in his heart.

In the secret room of Triumphant Mountain.

The flesh and blood statue was still trembling. Losing half of his consciousness was an extremely serious injury to him, but fortunately his life was intact. For now, he would have to plan for the long term.

Chen Xia’s body was indeed top notch. What's more, it contained many terrifying existences, as if raising Gu worms. It really deserved to be called a top notch body. That was a piece of good news.

Then there was bad news. This body was so top notch that even he, Lord of the Restricted Zone, felt it was beyond his reach.

First was that Immortal Sword. As the fiercest combat magic treasure, it should be the accompaniment sword of an Emperor, although he didn't know which Emperor it belonged to. But as long as it involved the title of Emperor, it would be supreme and unreachable.

Then there was the Celestial Dragon of the Universe behind it. How should I put it? Although it belonged to the dragon clan, it was extremely rare even across the Great Myriad Worlds, let alone within a single realm.

The flesh and blood statue had never seen a Celestial Dragon of the Universe before. He had only sensed the aura of the celestial dragons from ancient murals, and heard the legends about the Celestial Dragons of the Universe.

Legend has it that during ancient times, the Celestial Dragons of the Universe had ruled over the Great Myriad Worlds for a period of time. At that time, the strongest Celestial Dragon of the Universe was already comparable to the Dragon Patriarch, or even surpassing it by a bit.

This was because that Celestial Dragon of the Universe had swallowed a real, massive star realm, and even devoured the remains of five Emperors. It was the supreme power at that time.

This was the legend of the Celestial Dragons of the Universe. Compared to such an existence, the Lord of the Restricted Zone could only look up.

But these two existences were so terrifying that the flesh and blood statue almost suffocated from fear, leaving psychological shadows in his heart. He no longer had any thoughts of possessing Chen Xia.

However, if he didn't deal with Chen Xia, once Chen Xia grew in strength, no one in the entire realm would be able to oppose him.

The flesh and blood statue felt that since he had discovered Chen Xia’s terrifying talent, he should do something instead of letting it develop unchecked.

He soon came up with a way to deal with it.

And that was to curry favor.

If you can't beat them, join them!

Zhen Hu was saved, but the Starry Sky Pill Sect was indeed gone.

Chen Xia only cared about saving people. He had no intention of doing anything else for the Starry Sky Pill Sect, let alone ideas of reviving it. That was not something he wanted to get involved in.

Although Triumphant Mountain may have had ambitions, as long as they did not affect Chen Xia, even if Triumphant Mountain unified the entire realm, Chen Xia would not interfere.

Zhen Hu and Bai Jie did not say anything either. Their hearts were filled with deep gratitude as they followed Chen Xia to the lower realm of the domain and found a random residence to recuperate in.

Chen Xia also needed to recuperate. His battle with Qin Jia had used up too many trump cards. The Blood Extinguishing Soul Destroying art also consumed a tremendous amount of his vital essence. He had burned almost 30 percent of his blood essence and was somewhat weary. He had to rest well.

Looking at his tattered green shirt, he shook his head without changing and walked straight into the room.

It was just a fight after all, no big deal. He often had such fights in the Sea of Stars and Swords. At that time, he fought vigorously, almost never resting for long between fights.

That was also how he made his reputation.

It was the same in this realm.

Just on the second day, word had spread throughout the realm that Chen Xia had defeated the fifth layer Heaven of the Heaven Mending Realm, Qin Jia.

Hearing this news, most cultivators felt it must be false.

Wasn't Chen Xia a Pill Dao grand master? Why did he disappear for a few days and beat up Qin Jia?

Are you cultivating pills or not?!

Everyone was puzzled.

As the message spread wider and wider, and with Triumphant Mountain's silence, the mid-level cultivators had probably confirmed that this news was true.

At this time, they were filled with disbelief.

Earlier there were rumors saying that although this Chen Xia was a Pill Dao grand master, his cultivation was only in the Inverting Oceans Realm. No one knew which layer of the Inverting Oceans Realm, but it was still some distance away from the Heaven Mending Realm.

And now he has defeated the fifth layer Heaven Qin Jia of the Heaven Mending Realm.

Rumors were just rumors after all, completely unreliable.

In the eyes of mid-level cultivators in the realm, Chen Xia had already become the top leader. Whether it was pill refining or combat power, he was top-notch among mid-level cultivators.

Even if he went to the upper realm, he would probably have a place there.

As for the destruction of the Starry Sky Pill Sect, the cultivators were not too surprised among themselves.

The destruction and rebirth of sects may not be common among mid-level cultivators in the realm, but it wasn’t rare either. And since Triumphant Mountain made a personal move, it was normal that Starry Sky Pill Sect could not withstand it.

In the following months, Triumphant Mountain rebuilt a branch sect on the site of the Starry Sky Pill Sect ruins. The heavily injured Qin Jia, who had just recovered, served as the deputy sect master.

On the same day, Qin Jia went to the lower realm to knock on Chen Xia’s door, and respectfully said with cupped fists:

"Triumphant Mountain has built a new branch sect. Recalling the previous offense against Sir, I was terribly rude. Afterwards I reflected deeply and thought that Sir was previously the Grand Elder of Starry Sky Pill Sect. And now Triumphant Mountain has built a branch sect on the ruins of Starry Sky Pill Sect. So I would like to invite Sir to serve as sect master!"

Chen Xia, carrying a hoe, wearing a straw hat with his pants rolled up, frowned and said,

"Is your Triumphant Mountain branch sect master more important than my farming?"

"Ah...this..." Qin Jia opened his mouth, at a bit of a loss for how to reply.

This was the first time he had heard someone compare farming with being the sect master of Triumphant Mountain.

Was that polite?

Of course, Qin Jia definitely did not dare say that. Qin Ji had sent him here to invite Chen Xia to be the branch sect master, and his requirement was to be respectful in speech and conduct, and not overstep boundaries.

What's more, Qin Ji said something that silenced Qin Jia.

"Five thousand years later, Chen Xia will definitely be a top figure in the entire realm."

He was referring to the entire realm, which included the upper realm, and even compared to the twelve Lords of the Restricted Zones.

Qin Ji spoke definitively. This meant that as long as enough time passed, Chen Xia would definitely become a top leader in the realm.

So Qin Jia still respectfully said:

"Sir does not need to worry about affairs of the branch sect master. It is just a figurehead position with authority and stipends. Sir can still farm as before."

"How can one have a divided mind towards farming?" Chen Xia raised his brows, then said, "Also, I really don't like your Triumphant Mountain."

Qin Jia quickly replied, "There were indeed some unpleasantries before, but Triumphant Mountain has deeply reflected. Please forgive us, Sir!"

"Nothing to forgive. If I don't like something, I just don't like it. It's not so easy to change that," Chen Xia waved his hand, about to close the door, too lazy to quibble with Qin Jia any further.

"Sir!" Qin Jia cried out desperately. Not caring one bit about losing face despite being a Heaven Mending Realm cultivator, he directly kneeled on the spot towards Chen Xia and cried out piteously:

"Please give Triumphant Mountain another chance, Sir!"

Slap.

The door closed.

Leaving Qin Jia kneeling at the door.

The sky was gloomy.

A light, drizzling rain suddenly began to fall, landing on his body and soaking his clothes.

Perhaps this was what frustration felt like - heart filled with unwillingness, regret, yet still wanting to try again with all one's might.

To summarize in one sentence:

Groveling dogs really are impressive.

The biological clock was a bit off-kilter due to the National Day holidays.
