#14 - Chapter 014: The Heaven Gate is established, breaking through the Dharma Realm
“You don't play by the rules, ambushing me, an old man, pretending to be a cripple with no cultivation.”
“If you have the guts, undo the Life and Death Talisman on me and fight me one-on-one.”
The dwarf cursed angrily, resorting to a trick to provoke him.
Not playing by the rules, ambushing a middle-aged man less than a meter tall.
“I'm not one to play by the rules.”
“Alright, enough nonsense, I won't kill you, but you must submit to me.”
“You should know the power of the Life and Death Talisman very well. You don't need me to tell you how serious the consequences of not submitting are, do you?”
After learning the Life and Death Talisman, Jiang Ning suddenly had the idea of secretly establishing a force.
This way, staying in the ancestral land, he could easily grasp some news from the outside world.
Moreover, having a powerful force was better than fighting alone.
A force could help him gather information, help him do things, without having to take action himself, reducing the risk of falling into dangerous situations.
Moreover, if he needed something in the ancestral land, he could have them bring it to him.
“Mas... Master.”
Finally, under the coercion of the Life and Death Talisman, the dwarf submitted.
Although he was very unwilling in his heart, he dared not resist.
“By the way, who are you?” Jiang Ning asked.
The dwarf said, “Master, I am Sun Julu, the current master of the Life and Death Sect.”
“What is the current situation of your Life and Death Sect?” Jiang Ning asked again.
“There are more than three thousand disciples, five Void Realm elders, twenty-three Yuanshen Realm protectors…”
Sun Julu dared not hide anything, and reported the situation of the Life and Death Sect one by one.
“From now on, the Life and Death Sect will be renamed Tianmen (Heavenly Gate), and you will be the舵主 (Duozhu, master of a branch) of the Great Xia branch of Tianmen.”
“All the backbone of the Life and Death Sect will be moved to the vicinity of the Great Xia Imperial City.”
In Jiang Ning's simple vision.
The highest ruler of Tianmen was him, the sect master.
Next, there would be two chief stewards, four Dharma Kings, and ten protector elders.
Finally, there would be a group of hall masters, branch masters…
“But… the elders will definitely not agree to change their allegiance.”
He was the master of the Life and Death Sect, but such a change of allegiance was not something he could decide alone.
“Just call me Sect Master.”
“Remember my name, Di-Shi-Tian (Emperor-Sakyamuni).”
“Di Shitian, the Sect Master of Tianmen!”
Sun Julu was not worthy of Jiang Ning's trust, so he would naturally not reveal his true identity.
“I will give you five Life and Death Talismans to control those five elders.”
As long as he controlled those five Void Realm elders, the opinions of the others would not matter.
This was a society where the strong were respected.
“Yes, Master.”
Threatened by the Life and Death Talisman, the dwarf had to obey.
Even if he was very unwilling, the Life and Death Sect was gone just like that.
“Extend your hand.” Jiang Ning ordered.
Sun Julu did not dare to hesitate and stretched out his palm, which was the size of a three- or four-year-old child.
Jiang Ning condensed five Life and Death Talismans and injected them into Sun Julu's palm.
“This…”
“It is said that to be able to use the Life and Death Talisman to such an extent, you need to fully understand it.”
“He… has he completely understood the Life and Death Talisman? How is that possible?”
Sun Julu was shocked and couldn't believe it.
“I will give you 200,000 spirit stones for you to recruit soldiers and buy horses.”
“After that, I will also sort out some Heaven-rank cultivation methods and combat skills for the Tianmen disciples to learn.”
Since he had decided to establish Tianmen, Jiang Ning naturally had to put in some effort to cultivate it.
What he could take out was a massive amount of spirit stones.
And countless inheritances comprehended in his mind.
“T-two hundred thousand spirit stones?”
“Heaven-rank cultivation methods and combat skills?”
Sun Julu was completely shocked.
If this was true, changing his allegiance seemed acceptable.
The Life and Death Sect had completely declined, and the strongest inheritance was only a high-grade Earth-rank cultivation method.
Being able to learn Heaven-rank cultivation methods, he would be willing to do the things of his ancestors.
Heaven-rank cultivation methods would move even great cultivators in the Celestial Realm.
As for 200,000 spirit stones, it was also an astronomical figure.
Wealth could communicate with the gods, and with enough spirit stones, he could indeed find strong people to sit in town.
Sun Julu left, Jiang Ning returned to his original appearance and continued to wipe the stone tablet.
…
Time flies, and soon half a year has passed.
In the past six months, Jiang Ning had comprehended countless inheritances, and his strength and understanding of cultivation had greatly increased.
At this time, Jiang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the bamboo house, preparing to break through to the Dharma Appearance Realm.
He meditated quietly, adjusting his state to the best.
Everything was ready, and he began to break through.
Three thousand spirit stones were completely refined by him in one breath, transforming into majestic spiritual energy.
Boom!
Endless spiritual energy was absorbed into his body, and the dragon bones kept making dragon roars, frantically absorbing spiritual energy.
[You are in cultivation, triggering a hundred-fold experience plug-in, increasing cultivation speed by a hundred times.]
[You are in cultivation, triggering a hundred-fold experience plug-in, increasing cultivation speed by a hundred times.]
…
These words kept appearing in his mind.
“Roar~”
Behind Jiang Ning, a True Dragon Dharma Appearance emerged.
Looking down on the universe, its power reached the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a ferocious beast Dharma Appearance with golden horns appeared behind him.
Then a divine sword Dharma Appearance, a demon god Dharma Appearance, a celestial god Dharma Appearance, a blazing sun Dharma Appearance appeared…
In the end, even Jiang Ning couldn't figure out how many Dharma Appearances appeared behind him.
Fortunately, there was a five-element barrier to protect him, otherwise, such a terrifying power would have alarmed the strong people in the ancestral land long ago.
“Condensing too many Dharma Appearances, there is not enough spiritual energy.”
Instantly, a pile of spirit stone hills appeared in the bamboo house, refined into spiritual energy, and injected into Jiang Ning's body.
Soon after, Jiang Ning felt a sense of clarity in his sea of consciousness, and a terrifying force condensed in his body.
He knew that he was about to break through to the Dharma Appearance Realm.
It was a natural process.
Boom!
The power to break through the Dharma Appearance Realm erupted from Jiang Ning's body.
A smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Ning's mouth.
“Dharma Appearance Realm success!”
The so-called Dharma Appearance Realm is to condense powerful Dharma Appearances to fight.
Dharma Appearances have swords, spears, and halberds, various ferocious beasts, ancient powers…
The number and strength of Dharma Appearances determine combat power.
Usually, ordinary people can only condense one Dharma Appearance, and geniuses can condense two or three.
Heaven-defying evildoers can condense more than three.
Xuanhuang World has the most recorded number of Dharma Appearances condensed, which is nine.
Nine seems to be an extreme number that cannot be broken.
But today, Jiang Ning broke this extreme number.
The number of Dharma Appearances that can be condensed far exceeds nine.
Jiang Ning's combat power far exceeds the Dharma Appearance Realm of the same level, and he is not afraid of facing the Celestial Realm.
More than a year after coming to another world, he finally has the power to protect himself.
After all, there are no saints in Great Xia, which basically poses no threat to Jiang Ning.
His cultivation breakthrough also greatly increased the strength of Bai Sha and Hei Sha.
Reached the Celestial Realm strength.
The combined body of the two Shas has Quasi-Saint strength.
Without a saint, Jiang Ning has no problem saving his life at least.
“Although I have successfully broken through to the Dharma Appearance Realm, not becoming a saint is still an ant.”
“Before becoming a saint, you must never be arrogant and complacent, and take it lightly.”
Jiang Ning kept reminding himself in his heart.
The higher you cultivate, the difficulty of cultivation increases exponentially, and the speed will become slower and slower.
The road to becoming a saint is still very long.
