Chapter 58: The Immortal Lord Returns to the Upper Realm, Tang Hao Blocks the Road—Did You Ask the Clear Sky God First?
"B-Blood Transformation Realm?!"
At the same time, within the Douluo Continent, inside Spirit Hall.
When Bibi Dong and the others heard those three words, they were instantly dumbfounded.
Originally, they had been wondering why Qian Renxue's level had not increased at all. They never expected that she had been holding back something so shocking.
Not only had she seamlessly crossed into the cultivation system of another world, but she had even reached the legendary Blood Transformation Realm!
Although it was merely the starting point in that world, it meant she had officially stepped onto a far greater path toward the heavens.
And even the gods of the Douluo Continent might not be able to defeat her now!
"Did you hear that? Did you hear that?!"
Bibi Dong suddenly jumped up from the ground. She did not even care about the dust on her robes as she grabbed Ghost Douluo by the shoulders and shook him violently.
"Hahahaha! Heaven truly has eyes!"
Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu directly knelt on the ground and began banging his head repeatedly toward the sky screen, cracking the floor beneath him.
"Our ancestors have blessed us! The Angel God has manifested!"
"Early stage of the Blood Transformation Realm. Xue'er truly did it, and she even caught the attention of the Immortal Lord!"
"As long as Xue'er continues to work hard, even if she cannot become his disciple, as long as she can follow behind the Immortal Lord or enter the Immortal Court, that would already be a meteoric rise to immortality!"
"Our Spirit Hall… is truly about to rise!"
At this moment, everyone in Spirit Hall was completely exhilarated.
Because someone had emerged from their ranks.
Someone who had seen the Immortal Lord and knelt before him.
That was a fortune that countless people could only dream of.
…
Meanwhile, Shrek Academy
Watching the scene on the sky screen, Tang San clenched his teeth so hard they nearly shattered.
"Blood Transformation Realm… early stage?"
"A single arm capable of lifting ten thousand jin?"
Tang San looked down at his own thin arm, then at the completely transformed Qian Renxue on the sky screen.
Jealousy drove him nearly mad.
"Why!"
"Why does going to that world grant such heaven-defying fortune?!"
"All of this should have belonged to me!"
"When will that damned sky screen finally choose me, Tang San?!"
"You already have the path to death!"
…
On the training field, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang looked utterly devastated, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
He stared fixedly at the pure blood essence surrounding Qian Renxue.
The pen in his hand had already fallen to the ground, yet he remained unaware.
"No soul ring. No fluctuations of soul power."
"Only pure physical strength."
"This… this is impossible. It violates the iron laws of the soul master world!"
"No! I don't believe it! This must be an illusion!"
"Yes… all of this is an illusion, hahaha… heh… illusion…"
…
At the same time, Great Wilderness, Stone Village
In the village square at the center of Stone Village, several massive stone tables had been arranged.
Upon them were placed delicacies that the villagers regarded as the finest treasures.
Golden roasted Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros meat, ancient relic beast bone soup simmered until tender, a jar of precious Monkey Wine, and various spirit fruits gathered from the depths of the Great Wilderness.
Everything had been brought to the table.
"Honored guest, we are but a remote village in the mountains. We have nothing worthy to entertain you with. Please do not mind."
Village Chief Shi Yunfeng rubbed his hands nervously, looking at Jiang Chen with anticipation.
Jiang Chen glanced at the table of food that would be considered divine medicine to ordinary mortals.
He smiled faintly but did not pick up his chopsticks.
Instead, he lifted the bowl of Monkey Wine and took a light sip.
"It's fine."
"I accept this gesture."
However, although Jiang Chen said nothing, the Daoist boy standing behind him clearly had opinions.
His little face wrinkled up like a steamed bun, filled with undisguised disgust.
"Ew…"
Pinching his nose, the Daoist boy pointed at a piece of roasted meat and muttered,
"Master, are we really going to eat here?"
"This meat's blood energy is impure and filled with impurities. It's not even as good as the meat we feed the dogs in the Immortal Court!"
"And this wine…"
The Daoist boy glanced at the Monkey Wine and curled his lips again.
"It barely contains a bit of spiritual energy. Compared to the jade nectar back home, it's basically—"
He had just begun speaking casually when Jiang Chen's gaze fell upon him.
The Daoist boy immediately swallowed the rest of his words.
He obediently sat to the side and began drinking, though his brows remained tightly furrowed.
Yet his earlier remarks instantly froze the smiles on the villagers' faces.
They became awkward and at a loss.
Meanwhile, the countless beings of the Douluo Continent watching through the sky screen were petrified once again.
Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros meat?
That was a treasure even rarer than a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
And Monkey Wine?
A single sip could completely transform a person!
Yet in the Daoist boy's mouth, these treasures were worse than dog food?!
This dimensional gap left all the powerful figures of the Douluo Continent deeply realizing what it meant for poverty to limit one's imagination.
Comparing people makes people furious.
Comparing people to dogs makes people feel worse than dogs.
…
Great Wilderness, Entrance of Stone Village
The sun set beyond the western mountains, the remaining glow resembling blood.
After Stone Village's warm hospitality, Jiang Chen had given a bit of guidance to Little Shi Hao before arriving at the village entrance, surrounded by the villagers.
Originally, he had planned to stay for a few more days.
However, he had suddenly received a message from his disciple Ge Gu, forcing him to return earlier than expected.
Jiang Chen looked around, feeling somewhat moved by the simplicity and kindness of the villagers.
Not far away, the figure of Liu Shen once again merged into the charred willow tree.
Only a crystal-clear willow branch remained, swaying gently in the wind as though waving farewell.
"Fellow Daoist, we shall meet again in the Immortal Domain."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly, his voice calm.
Then he turned and prepared to leave with the Daoist boy, who was still wiping his mouth, a disgusted expression on his face.
Behind them, Little Shi Hao, whose hand was held by Shi Yunfeng, blinked his big eyes.
For some reason, he felt a faint reluctance in his heart.
But he did not try to stop them.
Because Liu Shen had told him that when the time came, the entire village would ascend together, and they would meet again.
Thus, he simply gripped the jade slip tightly.
And also the jar of sparkling beast milk that the sharp-tongued but soft-hearted Daoist boy had secretly stuffed into his hands.
Standing at the village entrance, he waved enthusiastically.
Even Qian Renxue stood respectfully behind the villagers, somewhat nervous as she accompanied them to see the Immortal Lord off.
However, just as everyone had walked a short distance beyond the village entrance, Jiang Chen turned back for one last glance—
A nauseating stench suddenly drifted in with the wind.
The smell was so foul that it made people feel like vomiting.
Immediately afterward, a figure covered in mud appeared out of nowhere.
Under his feet floated several soul rings.
He arrogantly blocked the road.
It was none other than Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, who had become a god after secretly eating slop.
Tang Hao stood with one hand behind his back and his chin raised high, looking at Jiang Chen with his nostrils.
In his other hand, he held a massive hammer.
The dense holes covering the hammer had already recovered under the nourishment of this world, becoming even more condensed.
"Stop!"
Seeing Jiang Chen about to leave, Tang Hao suddenly roared.
The sound waves rolled outward, shaking leaves from the surrounding trees.
He first glanced at Jiang Chen.
Then, at Liu Shen, the villagers behind them, and Qian Renxue hiding among them.
After that, he lifted the hammer onto his shoulder and pointed at everyone.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Everyone's here."
"That's good. Saves me the trouble of looking for you one by one."
After speaking those extremely punchable words, Tang Hao looked back at Jiang Chen and arrogantly said,
"Kid, you touched my woman and think you can just leave?"
"Did you even ask me, the Clear Sky God, whether I allowed it?"
