Chapter 26: Mountains of Corpses and Seas of Blood

"Surely you picked up our ancestor's jade pendant, didn't you?" The elder from the Yellow Wind Valley chuckled sinisterly, as if he had seen through Jiang Chen, saying, "With our ancestor's formidable strength, no one could have killed him. Sir Jiang, why don't you be honest and return the jade pendant? Let's form an alliance and live in harmony."

"Enough of your nonsense!" Jiang Chen's brow furrowed slightly.

With a flick of his sleeve, a translucent jade-like palm emerged. In an instant, a violent wind roared, clouds surged, and gray-white Qi condensed into a giant palm, crashing down fiercely.

"The Yellow Sand Gale Palm?!!"

"How could you possess our ancestor's signature move?!!"

"You truly killed our ancestor!!"

The cultivators from the Yellow Wind Valley were completely shocked, their eyes wide with disbelief. They turned and fled in panic.

Jiang Chen was able to use the Yellow Sand Gale Palm! Although it had some differences in nature, the overwhelming aura it exuded was undoubtedly that of the Yellow Sand Gale Palm!

This meant that Jiang Chen had killed the ancestor of the Yellow Wind Valley and obtained his signature move!

With the strength to kill an ancestor... killing them was as easy as killing chickens and dogs.

Trembling with fear, the cultivators from the Yellow Wind Valley fled madly into the distance.

But how could they escape from Jiang Chen's Dao technique?

Their movements were locked down, and with a sweep of the giant palm, they were split into two halves.

Thus, all the cultivators who had been attracted by the Foundation Establishment Fruit Tree were slaughtered by Jiang Chen, leaving not a single survivor.

After all, sooner or later, the Ten Great Sects would clash with the Taiyi Sect. Jiang Chen's actions were naturally ruthless and decisive.

"Why are you standing there? Go and pick the fruits," Jiang Chen said calmly.

White Ling'er snapped out of her daze and nodded quickly, hurrying to the Foundation Establishment Fruit Tree to pick the fruits.

She was overwhelmed with shock. She knew that her young master's master was powerful, but she never imagined that Jiang Chen would be so mighty!

You see, in the Great Qian Dynasty, each sect had at most three or four Dao-Formation experts. The higher-ranked sects might have Dao-Formation Ninth Stage ancestors.

Yet Jiang Chen alone had killed the Yellow Wind Valley's ancestor and nine other Dao-Formation experts from various sects, along with nearly a hundred cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage!

This wave of attacks had dealt a heavy blow to the power of the Great Qian Dynasty's sects.

But Jiang Chen remained calm and composed, as if he had only done something trivial.

Terrifying indeed!

At this moment, White Ling'er felt nothing but deep respect and awe for Jiang Chen.

In no time, the remaining nine Foundation Establishment Fruits were picked by White Ling'er. Jiang Chen waved his hand, and they were directly stored in his storage ring.

"After we leave the Meteor Saint Secret Realm, you and Ji Xuan can return to the Taiyi Sect. When your cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul Peak, you can come find me for a Foundation Establishment Fruit," Jiang Chen said.

Upon hearing this, White Ling'er's eyes lit up with joy. She quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, sir!"

She never expected Jiang Chen to leave such a precious gift for her!

You see, the Foundation Establishment Fruit could directly elevate a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Ninth Stage to the Dao-Formation First Stage. Its value was immeasurable and could only be found in legends.

Even if she sold her life, she wouldn't be able to buy one. Though she had managed to snatch one Foundation Establishment Fruit, if it weren't for Jiang Chen, she might not have been able to save her life, let alone the fruit.

So, she was filled with gratitude towards Jiang Chen for giving her a Foundation Establishment Fruit.

"No need to thank me. You are considered my future disciple-in-law," Jiang Chen shook his head, indicating that there was no need for excessive courtesy.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, gray-white chaotic Qi emerged, enveloping the massive Foundation Establishment Fruit Tree and uprooting it.生机显化,维持着果树的生命力.

A technique of the Heavenly Dao emerged from Jiang Chen's sleeve, and the Foundation Establishment Fruit Tree shrank visibly before being sucked into Jiang Chen's sleeve.

White Ling'er was dumbfounded.

What kind of martial technique was this?

No, this shouldn't be a martial technique. This must be a divine ability!

What was the identity of her young master's master? He must be an extremely mysterious figure... White Ling'er speculated.

She had never seen a martial technique that could shrink an object and store it in one's sleeve.

In fact, this was just a Huang-tier martial technique.

However, it was a combination of the chaotic Dao technique and the high-level divine ability that Jiang Chen had known in his past life, making it extraordinarily mystical.

By placing the Foundation Establishment Fruit Tree in his sleeve, Jiang Chen could feel its condition at any time, in case any accident depleted its vitality.

Although he had enveloped it with the chaotic Qi of life force, he was afraid of any mishaps!

This item was of extraordinary value, and if it were destroyed, Jiang Chen would feel a pang of regret.

"Alright, let's go. Let's find Ji Xuan," Jiang Chen said, sensing Ji Xuan's location and taking White Ling'er on a ride with the Heavenly Rainbow, heading towards the distance.

After the two left, more and more cultivators arrived at the Foundation Establishment Fruit Tree, but when they witnessed the scene around it, they couldn't help but vomit!

There were corpses and severed limbs everywhere, resembling a hellish scene of death.

Most importantly, many cultivators found the corpses of their sect's Nascent Soul elders, along with Dao-Formation resources and the bodies of many fellow disciples, all causing them to feel extreme terror.

"Who could have done this?"

"Could there be unknown dangers in the Meteor Saint Secret Realm? To think that nine Dao-Formation elders fell at once!"

"What... What happened exactly?!"

"What was that phenomenon earlier? What kind of creature or person could kill a hundred people in one go?!"

"This place is ominous. We must not stay here for long. Let's leave quickly and head deeper into the secret realm!"

"Yes, yes..."

"......."
