Jiang Chen thought of many things.

There were many mythological legends in the world before; could they all be about the so-called powerful cultivators?

And the disappearance of the protagonists of these mythological legends was all about leaving this world!

"Hey, is there really a Sun Wukong?"

Jiang Chen suddenly thought of a character he really liked when he was a child.

Hu Da was stunned for a moment, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes.

"It's the Great Sage Equal of Heaven, from Journey to the West..." Jiang Chen explained in detail.

Hu Da smiled, "You're talking about mythological stories, right? I've looked into some mythological stories from around the world, most of which are made up; they don't exist at all!"

"Oh!" Jiang Chen nodded with a bit of disappointment, raised his hand and said, "You continue!"

"In the Void Nether Realm, there are many forces both on the continent and in the ocean. The strongest force on the Life Origin Continent is the Six Peak Powers, followed by the Six Halls, Three Sects, and One Family. These sixteen forces are the strongest forces on the Life Origin Continent. Of course, that was a thousand years ago. As for whether there have been any new rising forces, I don't know. These forces are..."

Hu Da briefly described the situation on the Life Origin Continent, then looked up at Jiang Chen and said:

"As for which forces have descended, I'm not sure. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but all force's descents are secretive. Judging by Qian Youde's descent, something unusual must have happened over on the Life Origin Continent, otherwise, a third-rate sect like the Cang Ming Sect would never have gotten a chance to descend!"

Jiang Chen gently nodded, glanced at Hu Da, didn't say anything, and leaped to the side and closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Hu Da didn't speak again; he knew that Jiang Chen had sent his mind out.

...

By the pond.

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes, turned to the crowd, and said, "Elder Yao, I'd like you to start crafting the elixirs at full force. I'm going to look at the books of the Yunpiao Sect and the Shadow Clan, and then I'll join you in crafting. The three major organizations must be quickly eliminated, as we will face even greater troubles next."

"Alright!"

The Medicine Saint nodded, didn't ask anything, and turned to leave.

"Ying Zi, I will have Jing Yi give you the Saint Dragon Jade in a moment—it's the Qiong Gouyu. Your cultivation has stabilized now, so take it and improve your power level as quickly as you can. You don't have to worry about the Saint Dragon Jade being usable only once, I will help you unlock a second use!" Jiang Chen instructed Ying Zi.

"Yes, Young Master!" Ying Zi nodded happily.

Ying Zi originally thought that after using the Saint Dragon Jade to enhance her power, she could always help Jiang Chen. However, she hadn't expected that Jiang Chen would advance his power so quickly, leaving her behind again!

"Hu Zi, go bring Qiangqiang, Tang Wanru, and Spirit You over immediately. They are all Soul Warrior cultivators, and when the Ancient Martial Era arrives, they will be a central force. We must quickly enhance their powers!" Jiang Chen made another arrangement.

"Yes!" Yan Hu nodded solemnly, a hint of loss appearing in his eyes.

Noticing Yan Hu's loss, Jiang Chen smiled lightly and said, "Don't think about slacking off, your talent is among the best of our brothers, on par with Spirit You. The Yunpiao Sect has a Soul Martial Art Technique; I'll see if it suits you. If you can cultivate it, I will make some adjustments for you, and you too can become a Soul Warrior!"

"Thank you, Young Master!" Yan Hu's eyes lit up with joy.

What excited him most wasn't the chance to practice Soul Martial Art Techniques, but the opportunity to continue fighting alongside Jiang Chen.

"Elder Wu, Elder Ming, I need you two to work hard, although we're hidden here, we can't rule out the possibility of being discovered, and you two... that..." Jiang Chen hesitated, unsure of how to begin.

Wu Qianxun smiled lightly, "Young Master, we know that with our talents, reaching our current level was already very good. Even with the use of elixirs, we can't make much more progress, and it would be a waste. So, just assign us any tasks!"

"Alright! Then I won't be courteous with you! Right now, elixirs are scarce, so I can only let those with talent progress first. When we have enough elixirs, I'll ensure both of you also progress!"

Jiang Chen made a promise, then his expression became stern: "I would like to ask both of you to disguise yourselves as fishermen outside the island to conduct reconnaissance. The Swift Wind Wolves are vying for the Parrot Ocean territory, and there might be people fleeing in our direction."

Jiang Chen looked around at everyone, solemnly saying: "This island is our last safe haven; it cannot be discovered, at least until the world's situation completely stabilizes, it mustn't be found. So, I hope you two will act as our ward, minimizing any possibility of being discovered!"

"Understood!"

"Alright!"

Wu Qianxun and Elder Ming nodded heavily.

"Mi Jiaro, could you let me take a look at the cultivation techniques you're practicing? According to Hu Da, your Temple of Light is one of the sixteen strongest forces in another realm, and the techniques they left should have a chance to cultivate a Martial Soul. I would like to see if I can improve them for you or find a way for you to condense a Martial Soul from them!" Jiang Chen explained.

"Of course, I didn't bring the techniques with me, but I can describe them to you!" Mi Jiaro nodded lightly.

"Great! Everyone, let's get moving! Ying Zi and Mi Jiaro, come with me; I'll first unlock the seal on the Saint Dragon Jade." Jiang Chen called.

Swish, swish, swish!

Yan Hu, Wu Qianxun, and Elder Ming leaped away, and Jiang Chen led Ying Zi and Mi Jiaro to the central villa.

Central Villa.

Ying Zi and Mi Jiaro waited in the living room while Jiang Chen went upstairs to find Ye Jingyi.

"Jing Yi, are we really that useless!"

Just as he reached the bedroom door, Ye Yuwan's voice came from the room, and Jiang Chen paused.

"Yu Wan, don't say that, you've already worked very hard. If anyone's useless, it's me. You've reached the Venerable Realm, and Lin Lin has reached the peak of the Semi Venerable Realm. Only I'm still stuck in the mid-stage of the Semi Venerable Realm!" Ye Jingyi's voice came through.

"Jing Yi, don't say that. If it weren't for you, things would have completely unraveled while Jiang Chen was away this past month. You're one of our two mainstays!" Gong Lin's comforting voice reached out to Ye Jingyi.

Jiang Chen felt a flood of indefinable emotions in his heart, his eyes showing both guilt and warmth.

Ye Jingyi, Gong Lin, and Ye Yuwan's talents weren't particularly outstanding, but they pushed themselves to the limit. With the Medicine Saint giving them plenty of elixirs through his connections, their powers had grown rapidly.

Jiang Chen knew well that the three women weren't striving because they enjoyed cultivation or wanted to become stronger, but entirely for his sake.

If they weren't with him, wanting not to worry him or become a burden, the three wouldn't have gone to such lengths. Jiang Chen had heard from the Medicine Saint more than once that the three of them had fainted from exhaustion, trying to balance work and cultivation.

A Martial Artist, and someone already at least at the Semi Venerable Realm, fainting from exhaustion, this...

Jiang Chen felt heartache, but he'd also repeatedly urged the three not to overdo it; he could protect them. The three always agreed but continued to work hard.

This love, Jiang Chen deeply cherished in his heart!
