Chen Jiuyang had now broken through to twelve acupoints. According to the divine soul qi manipulation in his inheritance, if his divine soul could guide the qi through all twelve major acupoints in his body, he would be able to break through to the Earth Realm.
Although his divine soul was strong, it was subtly restricted. If his divine soul were to travel through all twelve major acupoints in his body, the true qi and blood within him would surge, and his meridians would be unable to withstand it, bursting open and rendering him a cripple.
The Emperor Yu Divine Body Art needed further refinement before Chen Jiuyang dared to attempt breaking through to the Earth Realm.
Furthermore, Chen Jiuyang's qi and blood were still terrifyingly abundant. He could feel that he had not yet reached his limit. Without reaching his limit, he could not break through to the Earth Realm.
His divine soul needed to travel through all twelve major acupoints in his body, allowing his true qi and divine soul to merge, thus achieving qi manipulation, and later, divine intent techniques.
Divine intent techniques were moves where true qi was completely fused with the divine soul.
He vaguely foresaw that once he stepped into the Earth Realm, he would be invincible amongst his peers.
The instantaneous annihilation martial arts, with their terrifying moves passed down from the Profound Realm, were already so formidable. What kind of moves would be inherited upon stepping into the Earth Realm?
Chen Jiuyang was very much looking forward to it!
Returning to the True Demon Sect to rest, he woke up the next morning to find a batch of cultivation resources that Chen Jiuyang currently needed laid out in the courtyard.
This old grey-robed woman's eyes were truly discerning. Chen Jiuyang had only requested resources without specifying what he needed, yet this old grey-robed woman had already figured out that he required medicinal ingredients for body tempering, as well as medicinal ingredients for replenishing qi and blood with higher years.
Seeing Chen Jiuyang put on his clothes and walk out of the room, the old grey-robed woman said with a smile, "Young Master Chen, Elder Han has approved. Please use these medicinal ingredients and resources well."
"I will," Chen Jiuyang replied with a smile, his eyes burning with eagerness.
The old grey-robed woman continued, "Young Master Chen is a peerless genius, and has also entered the Extreme Realm. Elder Han was very optimistic about Young Master Chen after learning of this. The Saintess will complete her first divine enlightenment tonight. Elder Han has instructed that the Saintess and Young Master Chen spar this evening."
"Young Master Chen, please do not delay too long outside today."
Chen Jiuyang narrowed his eyes, "I understand. I will return early."
Qiu Yihan's grandmother, that old fossil, had started investing in him, meaning she had only taken notice of him after Chen Jiuyang entered the Extreme Realm.
Chen Jiuyang instructed, "Uncle Fang, please help move these medicinal ingredients into the car and take them to the Chen Family in Suhang."
"Yes, Young Master," Fang Bahua replied.
The old grey-robed woman chuckled, "Young Master Chen is not cultivating here. It seems you do not trust our Holy Sect's Han family."
Chen Jiuyang said faintly, "If that woman hadn't been arranged to poison me while sleeping with me, I might have trusted the Han family. Several days have passed, and I still haven't received an explanation."
The old grey-robed woman's smile faltered slightly.
The seductive woman who consumed blood and corroded bones. If Chen Jiuyang were not a pure Yang body, he would have fallen victim.
How could the Han family not know about the grudges Chen Jiuyang carried? Such insidious methods, while seemingly harmless, were actually devastatingly harmful.
Fang Bahua loaded everything, and Chen Jiuyang departed by car.
Upon arriving at the Chen Family in Suhang, the villa area looked vastly different from the inside and out. Chen Jiuyang felt much more comfortable.
When he reached the villa where he was staying, there were servants attending to him inside and out, unlike the few days prior when he had first arrived and there was no one around.
Only then did he feel a bit like the young master of the Chen family. The Chen family patriarch truly knew how to get things done.
Chen Jiuyang stood at the villa entrance and casually asked, "Has the person I brought back yesterday woken up?"
"Replying to the Young Master, the Young Madam has already woken up," the maidservant replied.
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly and then walked into the villa.
Entering the treatment room, Ji Lengyue had already woken up. She was soaking in a medicinal bath, with silver needles inserted all over her body. Her body was immersed in the warm medicinal bath, with only her head exposed.
Seeing Ji Lengyue, Chen Jiuyang smiled slightly, "Constable Ji, the last time I saw you, I saved you. This time, I'm saving you again. How do you plan to repay me?"
Ji Lengyue's face flushed slightly. She bit her red lips with her teeth, her eyes filled with a complex expression. "You don't need to call me Constable anymore. I have already resigned from my secret agent identity in the Six Doors."
Chen Jiuyang's expression stiffened, "What happened?"
Ji Lengyue's eyes reddened, "I found a clue to the killer of my father."
Chen Jiuyang was bewildered, "What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."
Ji Lengyue recounted the story from the beginning. She had accepted a case in Fengcheng and investigated a case of disappearance and theft. Leaving Fengcheng, she came to Suhang. Through a series of coincidences, she discovered that an item belonging to someone from the Jiangnan Sect was extremely similar to her father's遗物 (relics/belongings).
Later, after investigation, she found that the relic her father had tightly clutched was an item belonging to the murderer of her father. Facing the killer of her father, Ji Lengyue did not lose her composure. She reported the relic to the Six Doors, but the Six Doors placated Ji Lengyue with the excuse of insufficient evidence and refused to file a case, even placing her under house arrest.
Ji Lengyue knew that this involved a major figure, and the Six Doors here dared not act rashly. Extremely disappointed with the Six Doors, Ji Lengyue angrily resigned and decided to investigate the clues to her father's murderer alone. After staking out for many days, she infiltrated the Jiangnan Sect, copied all the data from a computer onto a USB drive, and escaped. She was immediately pursued by the Jiangnan Sect. Ji Lengyue kept hiding until she saw Chen Jiuyang while driving at a roadside food stall, and then contacted Chen Jiuyang to save her.
Chen Jiuyang frowned, "Have you looked at the contents of that USB drive?"
Ji Lengyue replied, "Not yet."
Chen Jiuyang paced back and forth, "The information on that USB drive must be extremely important. If you could give it to the Six Doors, perhaps they could file a case and allow you to avenge your father."
"However, it might also lead to your complete annihilation."
Ji Lengyue gritted her teeth, "My father sacrificed himself so many years ago, and my mother has been weeping tears for years. I must know the truth of the matter to comfort my father's spirit in heaven!"
Chen Jiuyang nodded, "But this matter cannot be acted upon rashly. It will trigger a chain reaction."
"The Jiangnan Sect has a vast influence in Suhang. After I saved you yesterday, they brought a group of people to attack. Later, they saw that the patriarch of our Shu Mountain Chen Family was here, so they did not dare to act rashly."
This matter was somewhat tricky, and even Chen Jiuyang did not know how to handle it immediately.
Chen Jiuyang found the Chen family patriarch and explained the situation. The patriarch also frowned slightly, "The key breakthrough point in this matter still lies with the USB drive your woman brought back, the information within..."
"Let's look at that USB drive first to see how to handle this."
Chen Jiuyang found the USB drive among Ji Lengyue's clothes that he had removed from the treatment room. The two sat in front of the computer and opened the USB drive.
The contents made Chen Jiuyang's pupils constrict. It was shocking.
Immediately, anger surged into his heart.
The contents were detailed records of the Jiangnan Sect's smuggling and trafficking of people.
Most of these people were children, which almost shattered Chen Jiuyang's worldview.
"These people from the Jiangnan Sect deserve to die!" Chen Jiuyang exclaimed, his killing intent surging.
