The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries

The Kunpeng headed east, its massive body spanning the sky, startling numerous forces.

"Is this a Kunpeng? No, it's a spiritual body… I wonder which powerful cultivator's spiritual body it is?"

"Does that even need guessing? In this world, only that person cultivates the Kunpeng technique…"

The Desolate Region was in an uproar.

The news of Shi Jian's numerous spiritual bodies departing startled many people. Shi Jian was now the strongest cultivator in the Lower Realm, and his every move drew countless eyes.

His previous message, combined with his current deployment of spiritual bodies, clearly indicated that this was no minor skirmish. Instead, it was an expedition to conquer a school and a nation.

"The spiritual bodies have broken through the domain wall; they're heading to the Profound Region…"

The news spread immediately, causing a sensation. This was not just for show.

It was about crossing realms to conquer a major school.

"News from Little Western Paradise indicates that the Venerables from the Jade-Toothed Giant Elephant and the Heaven Mending School have gone missing, suspected to have been killed by Shi Jian's spiritual body…"

More news arrived, causing immense shock.

In this godless era, Venerables were already at the peak of combat power. Moreover, the number of Venerables was scarce.

Under such circumstances, two Venerables were killed. In the current world, only Shi Jian could accomplish such a feat.

He truly moved against various immortal great schools.

And now, his Kunpeng spiritual body and Giant Elephant spiritual body had also arrived in the Profound Region.

There was a top-tier immortal force here. Named the Immortal Mountain.

Here, mountain peaks were majestic, surrounded by purple Qi, a land where Dragons soared.

However, at this moment, this place was facing a catastrophe.

Shi Jian's Kunpeng spiritual body and Giant Elephant spiritual body arrived here.

The Kunpeng spiritual body blotted out the sky and sun; as soon as it approached, it startled the guardians of the mountain gate. Seeing the enormous Kunpeng pressing down like a green cloud, everyone felt a wave of suppression.

"Who is this trying to attack my Qin Clan?" A gasp of alarm instantly broke out.

Someone quickly rushed back to report.

In just a blink of an eye, all the high-ranking members of the Qin Clan arrived, standing before the mountain gate, all greatly shaken.

Their hearts trembled with fear.

Shi Jian's spiritual body arriving at the Immortal Mountain—if not handled properly, it would be a disaster of annihilation.

"Venerables, cripple your cultivation and hand over your school-suppressing Magical Artifacts; I can leave you a glimmer of hope…"

Behind the Kunpeng phantom, Shi Jian's indistinct figure appeared, and his icy voice resounded.

"Impossible…" The people of the Qin Clan held their weapons. Even when facing Shi Jian, hearing these words, a surge of anger still rose in their hearts.

Since ancient times, they had been the ones to awe the world. When had they ever been challenged like this at their doorstep?

"Disobey, and perish…" Shi Jian's voice remained calm.

In an instant, the people of the Qin Clan were both shocked and enraged. Their anger flared.

They had never imagined that they would fall to such a pathetic state, being threatened and warned by others.

"How dare you act so presumptuously at my Immortal Mountain? Do you think a mere spiritual body can take down my Immortal Mountain?"

A middle-aged man's gaze was icy as he shouted loudly.

"Close the mountain gate, activate the great formation! Those who dare to trespass shall be killed without mercy!"

The Venerables of the Immortal Mountain also spoke coldly, issuing their command.

All the important figures of the Qin Clan retreated. They intended to use the great formation to resist and eliminate Shi Jian's spiritual body.

If Shi Jian's true body had come, they would never have dared to entertain such a thought. But a mere spiritual body… they still dared to confront it.

"Stubborn and unyielding…"

The enormous Kunpeng flapped its wings, and Yin and Yang Qi circulated for a moment. The Immortal Mountain's gate collapsed with a roar, and countless formations within were completely breached.

Their formation could not stop the Kunpeng for even half a moment.

Dust rose everywhere, and rocks tumbled.

The collapse of the Immortal Mountain's gate was absolutely an event with extremely far-reaching consequences.

What collapsed was not just a mountain gate. But an old era.

"Kill!"

The Venerable of the Immortal Mountain had a gloomy expression, holding a Divine Rank Magical Artifact, and instantly leaped up, attempting to kill Shi Jian's spiritual body with the Divine Rank Magical Artifact.

However, he was destined to be disappointed.

Only a Giant Elephant could be seen bellowing, its enormous trunk uncoiling, emitting light as if a surging ocean.

The Giant Elephant's trunk instantly knocked down the Divine Rank Magical Artifact from the Venerable's hand, then brushed against the Venerable.

The Venerable was immediately struck, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, his body tumbling. He fell back onto the Immortal Mountain.

His entire body was severely injured.

The Giant Elephant's trunk continued to uncoil, and then the Venerable expert instantly died, leaving only a corpse.

"Roar…"

The subsequent battle was even more without suspense.

Although the Immortal Mountain had more than just one Venerable, no matter how many Venerables there were, they were merely ants before Shi Jian.

After the mountain gate was crushed, the people of the Immortal Mountain had no room for resistance whatsoever.

After one battle, the Immortal Mountain was conquered. Its high-ranking members were all annihilated, suffering heavy casualties.

After the battle, the Qin Clan was completely devastated, removed from the list of Holy Lands.

After Shi Jian's Kunpeng phantom departed, some surviving members of the Qin Clan cautiously emerged from the ruins of the Immortal Mountain.

Their strength was too weak. Shi Jian didn't even have the desire to attack them.

Among this group of people, a couple stood out particularly.

"Is this Shi Jian from the First Ancestral Land?"

This person was none other than Shi Hao's adoptive father, Shi Ziling.

It was they who had originally found the First Ancestral Land, Shi Village, and entrusted Shi Hao there.

Only then did they invite the Immortal Mountain to find a way to save Shi Hao. As a result, they were trapped here. And even had a child.

They never expected that one day, the incredibly powerful Immortal Mountain would have its gate breached.

Shi Ziling and his wife were very clear about what Shi Village was like back then. It was just a very ordinary village in the Great Wilderness.

The strongest cultivator was only in the Blood Moving Realm. As ordinary as could be.

Now, from such a place, a terrifying expert like Shi Jian had emerged.

"Hao'er is fine, and his talent has recovered. We don't need to dig up another child's bone to save him anymore…"

"Now that we are free, let's go find Hao'er. Our family can finally be reunited…"

Shi Ziling spoke with tears in his eyes.

The Cosmic Region. Vast and populous.

Here, mountains and rivers were magnificent, and numerous schools and Dao traditions stood tall.

Among them, the most famous was naturally the Heaven Mending School.

With a long history and immense glory, it was hailed as immortal.

A Phoenix streaked across the sky, resplendent all over, with incredibly crimson feathers, severing the Void Realm, arriving here with immense Divine Might.

Another Giant Elephant soared across the sky, treading upon heaven and earth, advancing step by step towards this place.

Near the Heaven Mending School, white mist ascended and divine light bloomed, with one ethereal mountain peak after another.

There were also islands in the sky, with a myriad of glowing rays.

Silver waterfalls cascaded down, accompanied by a sacred aura, like a fairyland on earth.

If Fang Han were to arrive here, he might even think he had returned to the Feathered Immortal School.

"Hand over your school-suppressing treasure, your heirloom Spirit Medicine, and Venerables, cripple your cultivation! I will leave you a glimmer of hope!"

Shi Jian was already very familiar with this process.

"You are… Shi Jian!"

The people inside the Heaven Mending School's gate, upon sensing this terrifying aura, all felt a sense of foreboding.

A voice came from within. Shi Jian's phantom reappeared.

"If you do not hand over your school-suppressing treasure and heirloom Spirit Medicine, I fear a bloodbath will befall your Heaven Mending School…"

Shi Jian's voice was calm, without joy or sorrow. Within the calm words, the threat was palpable.

The people of the Heaven Mending School all changed color.

They never expected that they would one day be attacked at their doorstep and forcibly robbed.

The school-suppressing treasure, the heirloom Spirit Medicine—these were the foundations of a school.

How could they be handed over so easily? But if they didn't hand them over, Shi Jian had stated it clearly.

The school-suppressing treasure and heirloom Spirit Medicine were ominous objects. A bloodbath would descend.

This was the more polite way of saying it.

Translated slightly, it meant: either you hand over the treasures yourselves, or I will cleanse you with blood and take the treasures myself.

The people of the Heaven Mending School were terrified. They were utterly helpless against Shi Jian.

Now, with the connection to the Upper Realm almost completely severed, they could no longer report upwards.

Even if they could inform the Upper Realm, it would be useless.

The True Gods sent down by the Upper Realm had all been slain by Shi Jian.

A Venerable of the Heaven Mending School manifested his figure. He respectfully offered a jade seal and a precious Spirit Medicine.

A terrifying aura emanated from the jade seal. Clearly, it was a True God Divine Rank Magical Artifact left behind by a True God.

As for the precious Spirit Medicine, its medicinal properties permeated the air, its potency reaching the sky, having a thousand years of age, clearly of considerable value.

"Ba Ba, I offer you the treasure of my school; may you spare my Heaven Mending School?"

The Venerable said respectfully.

This was the first time Shi Jian had encountered someone so sensible.

However, this Heaven Mending School was only good at outward appearances. There was no sincerity at all.

Just one True God Divine Rank Magical Artifact and one precious Spirit Medicine to dismiss him?

Those who didn't know might think Shi Jian was a pauper.

"Just like that? You're trying to fob me off with this? Your Heaven Mending School has a profound foundation, rich accumulation, a Treasure Trove filled with Divine materials, Spirit Plants growing everywhere in the medicine fields, all of them ancient Spirit Medicine, and even some rare and exotic Spirit Medicine that are hard to find anywhere else in the world…."

"And you're giving me just these two things?"

Shi Jian didn't hesitate for a moment, immediately driving the Phoenix towards the Heaven Mending School to launch an attack.

The Phoenix swept across the Void Realm, carrying immense Divine Might, impacting the Heaven Mending School's mountain gate. In an instant, rocks flew and runes flickered.

The Heaven Mending School's mountain-protecting formation glowed.

Countless Heaven Mending School powerhouses, as if facing a formidable enemy, hid within it for defense.

The mountain gate shattered instantly.

However, the formation here indeed had some Dao to it. With the cooperation of numerous Venerables, its Divine Might was vast, bone texts intertwined, and an endless stream of power emerged from the mountain gate.

With this Divine Rank formation guarding it, the Heaven Mending School's mountain gate actually withstood one attack from the Phoenix.

"Boom!"

A sharp and unparalleled Sword Qi shot up, tearing through the high heavens, thousands of feet long, terrifyingly powerful, and then it surged towards the Phoenix.

A Heaven Mending School Venerable, holding a Divine Spirit Magical Artifact, combined with the power of the Three Mountains Formation, attacked the Phoenix….

The courage to act was commendable. However, orcs are just orcs….

No. Rotten shrimps are just rotten shrimps.

Shi Jian's Phoenix Spirit Body didn't even think of dodging, only letting out a long cry, followed by a burst of radiant light.

In just the blink of an eye, a terrifying flame appeared in the Void Realm. The flame incinerated the Sword Qi, and raging inferno surged towards the mountain gate.

The Giant Elephant let out a roar. Then it also curled its trunk and smashed it towards the Heaven Mending School's mountain gate formation.

Within the Heaven Mending School, a Sword Qi spanned the sky, tens of thousands of feet long, striking again, but in a blink of an eye, it was extinguished once more.

The next moment, the Heaven Mending School's mountain gate shattered, reduced to dust.

The so-called Divine Rank formation completely disintegrated and ceased to exist.

"Run!"

Someone among the powerhouses guarding the mountain gate shouted, and then those Venerables quickly fled. Those who were a step too slow were swept by the flames and instantly turned into ashes.

"Shi Jian, do you really want to be at odds with my school forever…?" Someone roared while fleeing.

"I said a blood calamity would descend. If I let you live, wouldn't that be a slap in my face?"

Shi Jian's nonchalant voice rang out.

The entire Heaven Mending Holy Land trembled. Such a thing had never happened before.

The Heaven Mending School, known as an immortal school, had its mountain gate breached.

"Activate the Demon Locking Formation…."

Someone inside the Heaven Mending School shouted, then activated an ancient formation, blocking the advance of the Vermilion Bird and the Giant Elephant.

The Giant Elephant roared, its feet, like heavenly pillars, stomping into the Void Realm, emitting bursts of radiant light. In an instant, runes like a sea of terrifying power erupted.

There was a violent beauty to it.

Wherever the Giant Elephant stepped, Heaven Mending School powerhouses coughed blood, and those who couldn't dodge were instantly killed.

"Retreat to the center of the school gate, activate all formations…."

The Heaven Mending School's Venerable shouted anxiously.

He underestimated the power of Shi Jian's Spirit Body.

He had originally thought that since Shi Jian wasn't coming in his true body, it was just one or two Spirit Bodies, and their Heaven Mending School could resist them.

Who knew his Spirit Body was actually so powerful?

With just one strike, he shattered the Heaven Mending School's mountain-protecting formation.

This level of strength was truly terrifying.

The people of the Heaven Mending School were deeply disheartened. Their past glory was suffering a setback today, which made them very unwilling.

However, now it was no longer a question of humiliation. Being able to survive was the most important thing.

The Phoenix soared across the sky, the Giant Elephant roared, advancing irresistibly.

In just a blink of an eye, it once again broke through three ancient formations, sweeping away all obstacles….

"How could this be…?"

The Heaven Mending School's Venerables grew even more anxious.

They could only flee in a hurry, then all fled into the central area, hiding within the Heaven Mending Formation.

This place was filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, with lush trees.

Spirit Plants covered the ground.

It formed a whole with the islands suspended in the sky, with runes flowing between them, forming an even more terrifying grand formation!

The Phoenix had killed its way here, shattering countless ancient formations. The entire area was filled with towering dust and was a complete mess.

It directly reached the front of this world-shaking grand formation.

Raging inferno surged forth, the Giant Elephant stomped, and Divine Might was vast. Two terrifying forces landed on this world-shaking grand formation, only causing ripples.

Shi Jian's figure reappeared, his eyes glowing.

This was a Holy Land. Medicine fields stretched for miles, incredibly fragrant.

The several islands in the Void Realm emitted Divine light, containing countless Spirit Plants, Spirit Medicine, and Spirit Springs….

Immortal Qi billowed.

Cultivating in such a place would make one's cultivation speed far surpass that of mortals. Even dogs could become spirits.

"Heaven Mending Formation…."

Shi Jian looked at this world-shaking grand formation thoughtfully. The Heaven Mending Formation, named after the words "Heaven Mending," was enough to show its power.

It was the Heaven Mending School's trump card. It was incredibly complex.

Shi Jian could tell at a glance that this was the work of someone from the Upper Realm.

This formation should have been set up here by the Heaven Mending School people from the Upper Realm initially, which was why it was so powerful.

It could withstand the attack of his Spirit Body.

After careful study, Shi Jian discovered that there were loopholes in this grand formation.

This formation was incredibly complex, and over the long years, some parts of the formation had already been damaged.

The people of the Lower Realm had no way to repair it. Thus, defects were left behind.

Shi Jian controlled the Phoenix and the Giant Elephant Spirit Body, launching an attack on the overlooked parts of this Heaven Mending Formation….

The Heaven Mending School powerhouses were only happy for a moment after seeing their formation block Shi Jian's Spirit Body.

The entire formation began to tremble violently.

Shi Jian urged his two great Spirit Bodies to attack with full force, breaking through at a single point. In just a few breaths, he completely dismantled this Heaven Mending Formation.

"Kill!"

The Phoenix and the Giant Elephant charged in, their Divine Might unparalleled. Terrifying auras erupted, and Venerable-level powerhouses were shaken to death.

The Heaven Mending School was breached.

Shi Jian looked at the Heaven Mending School's wealth, his eyes glowing.

Countless Spirit Medicine gathered together, with surging auspicious glow and misty light. His spiritual body stood in these medicine fields, his entire body's pores feeling comfortable.

He didn't even need to cultivate; Spiritual Qi would naturally surge into his body.

As expected of an immortal great school that had been passed down for countless years. Truly rich!

The Immovable Mountain from before was the same.

All kinds of medicine fields and Divine materials emerged endlessly….

With so many things, plus the corpses of those Venerable-level powerhouses, these resources were already enough to push Shi Jian's cultivation to a higher Realm.

The Giant Elephant let out a roar, then its body suddenly grew larger. In an instant, a towering giant beast appeared between heaven and earth.

The Giant Elephant's trunk coiled, then it gathered countless medicine fields and treasures together, and then sucked them into its trunk….

After one battle, the Heaven Mending School declined.

Its high-level members were all wiped out, almost completely removed from the Lower Realm.

Another Holy Land force was overthrown.

The Suan Ni and the Giant Elephant appeared in the sea. Lightning raged. When they returned, they brought back the corpses of the Sea Demon Race Venerables, and in addition, they also brought back many underwater Treasure Troves.

In a single day, various news continuously bombarded, and the people of the entire Lower Realm were almost numb.

Shi Jian sent out Spirit Bodies to defeat several immortal great schools, which truly made people tremble.

Everyone in the world was discussing Shi Jian's power. Unstoppable.

At the same time, a blade of grass and a Giant Elephant charged towards the Western School….

"The Western School probably won't be able to hold on either…." People made their judgment.

Shi Jian was truly too powerful. Not to mention himself, even his Spirit Bodies were enough to sweep across the world, winning every battle.

People were not optimistic about the Western School.

The Heaven Mending School, Immovable Mountain, and other forces were all finished. Why should your Western School be special?

As expected, the Western School's grand formation was pierced by a blade of grass, and another immortal great school fell.

"Is this Vajra Liquid?"

Shi Jian's phantom appeared here. He discovered a Divine pool here, filled with precious liquid, emitting a peculiar fragrance.

This was the legendary Vajra Liquid. It was the ultimate precious liquid for Body Refining.

This was discovered in an ancient hall in Spirit Mountain.

The Divine pool was only about a square meter, concentrating brilliant precious liquid, and there was also a Demon Subduing Magical Artifact suppressing it….

The medicine fields inside the Western School were extensive, not less than those of the Heaven Mending School, and of course, this Vajra Liquid was even more precious.

This was definitely a priceless ancient formula. It could make Shi Village even stronger in the future.

The Giant Elephant also coiled, then swept all the treasures into its trunk. A blade of grass and a Giant Elephant returned with glory.

Everyone in the world was completely shocked. Everyone was discussing it.

In a single day, destroying several immortal great schools completely changed the world's pattern. Such a battle record was simply like a myth.
