Chapter 23: The Enchantress Jiang Meier of the Joyous Harmony Sect

After a brief conversation, Jiang Xundao stepped onto the altar along with the other Supreme Realm experts and together began channeling energy into it.

This ancient altar trembled slightly as it was infused with such immense power. Suddenly, a radiant light lit up its center, where a slow crack formed, revealing a membrane-like surface beneath it.

That was the entrance to the ancient ruin.

Dozens of Supreme experts joined forces, attempting to tear open the membrane and create a passage. Even so, after half an hour, they had only managed to produce a narrow slit.

Judging by the current progress, it would take at least a full day to open a passage wide enough for someone to pass through.

Jiang Wang wasn’t in a hurry. As he stared at the thin slit, a thick surge of spiritual Qi leaked out from within.

He immediately sat cross-legged and activated the Primordial Mystic Emperor Scripture. All thirty-six spiritual Qi vortices in his body went into full operation, madly devouring the surrounding spiritual Qi.

The other prodigies from the Immortal Domain who tried to share in this feast of spiritual Qi were simply no match for Jiang Wang’s terrifying absorption rate.

They could only watch helplessly as the supremely pure spiritual Qi was absorbed entirely by him. Only Shen Ruyan, seated beside him, managed to absorb a sliver for her own cultivation.

“What a domineering brat,” Li Jingtian muttered as he tore at the barrier of the ruin while narrowing his eyes at Jiang Wang.

If this youth had been born into the Li Clan, Li Jingtian would have poured all his resources into nurturing him. A talent like this was certain to enter the Divine Domain one day—perhaps even lead his clan into it.

But unfortunately, he was from the Jiang Clan.

Time passed minute by minute, and more and more young prodigies arrived during the tearing of the barrier.

Saintess Fuyao, Saintess Kunlun, and other Holy Sons and disciples from great clans and sacred grounds had gathered.

Among them, the most dazzling was the Holy Son of the Zixiao Holy Land.

He arrived in a grand chariot, pulled by four massive White Jade Dragon Elephants, each one glowing like polished jade.

As the chariot hovered midair, a strikingly handsome man in a purple robe stepped out, his eyes flashing faintly with thunder as he looked down upon the gathered prodigies.

With his arrival, all other attention shifted to him.

“The Zixiao Holy Son… no wonder they call him the Thunder Commanding Holy Son! That Zixiao Divine Thunder of his is truly overwhelming. If he wins first place and obtains the Thunder Pool Liquid, won’t his strength skyrocket even further?”

Before the crowd could recover from that shock, another overwhelming presence surged forth, forming a rivaling aura against the Zixiao Holy Son.

“That’s… Lin Feng from the Ancient Body Sect! I heard he’s been obsessed with body refining, tirelessly tempering his physical strength. I didn’t expect him to show up today!”

“He’s probably here for the Thunder Pool Liquid. That kind of heavenly treasure is extremely useful for refining the body!”

As the two prodigies stood in the sky, someone couldn’t help but exclaim.

Lin Feng looked at the Zixiao Holy Son with a playful glint in his eyes. “You want the Thunder Pool Liquid too? Why don’t we form a team and split it half and half?”

Hearing that, the Zixiao Holy Son’s expression shifted. He looked at Lin Feng and slowly nodded in agreement.

“What? Weren’t those two on bad terms? Why are they willing to team up now?”

This sight caused an immediate uproar among the other prodigies.

“True, they don’t get along, but there’s no denying their strength. If they team up, their odds of winning the Thunder Pool Liquid just increased dramatically,” Saintess Fuyao suddenly said.

Her voice carried a mix of coldness and allure. She looked down at Jiang Wang, who sat cross-legged below, madly absorbing spiritual Qi.

“Hehe… Sister is right. With such a powerful man in front of us, the rest of us can only fade into the background.” A sultry laugh rang out.

From the sky emerged a voluptuous beauty clad in revealing clothes. She licked her lips and swayed her hips provocatively, gold bells jingling around her ankles.

“That’s Jiang Meier of the Joyous Harmony Sect! I’ve heard she’s shared intimacy with many prodigies, using Yin absorption to strengthen her cultivation. She’s already reached the Dao Entry Realm!”

Some stared at her, their eyes burning with desire.

“Don’t bring your filthy body near me,” Saintess Fuyao said coldly, glaring at Jiang Meier with open disdain.

Jiang Meier giggled, “Filthy? With spiritual roots merging into the body and spiritual fluid flowing through the limbs, how could it be filthy?”

“It’s actually quite beneficial for cultivation. You should try it sometime…”

Before she could finish, Saintess Fuyao had already drawn an immortal sword and slashed at her.

A flash of cold light ripped across the spot where Jiang Meier had just been standing, leaving behind a terrifying sword mark.

Jiang Meier patted her chest with lingering fear, but her lips still curved into a seductive smile. “Did I hit a nerve, dear Saintess? Perhaps I spoke your hidden desire aloud? Don’t worry, little sister will make sure you get to experience the wonder of spiritual root bonding…”

Saintess Fuyao’s face turned frosty as she bit her lip and charged forward with sword raised. “Even if I don’t enter this ruin today, I’ll still cut you into pieces!”

Just as she rushed forward, the membrane sealing the ancient ruin suddenly tore open with a loud rip.

“The ancient ruin is open!” someone shouted, and all the prodigies surged toward the crack.

Jiang Wang suddenly opened his eyes. Seeing the crack right in front of him, he was the first to dash in.

Shen Ruyan followed closely behind.

Countless prodigies poured into the crack all at once.

After all, beyond hunting Primordial Ferocious Beasts, the ancient ruin also held a vast number of spirit medicines.

There were even hidden realms, and possibly ancient weapons or divine blood left from the archaic era.

A moment of hesitation, and your fortune might be snatched away.

Hovering midair, Jiang Meier glanced at the enraged Saintess Fuyao and giggled, “Saintess, I’m going in first.”

“If you plan to enter, you’d better be ready to get entered too.”

With a seductive twist of her waist, she darted toward the crack. Saintess Fuyao didn’t hesitate and chased her in.

In the sky, Lin Feng and the Zixiao Holy Son exchanged glances and also flew into the ruin one after the other.

Once all the prodigies near the altar had entered, the Supreme Realm experts were just about to stop injecting spiritual power.

It was then that Ye Fan and Li Qingxuan finally arrived in the distance. Seeing the scene before him, Ye Fan shouted desperately, “Seniors! Please wait! We haven’t gone in yet!”

But the people present were all Supreme Realm cultivators. If they truly stopped for him, they’d be lowering themselves.

Before he could even finish his plea, dozens of Supreme experts simultaneously withdrew their hands.

Ye Fan fell into despair.

Dragging along the injured Li Qingxuan, he simply couldn’t travel any faster.

In the past life, Jiang Wang had only managed to enter because Jiang Xundao personally held the entrance open.

In this life, there was no chance Jiang Xundao would exhaust himself for an outsider.

Naturally, he loosened his grip, and the crack began to close…

But suddenly, Li Jingtian began pouring in more power!
