Chapter 1836 - 172: Growth of Source Points, Did the Prince Take My Son’s Life? (Part 2)

He felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

It was a spiritual crushing, a resonance on the soul level, transcending the mundane dimensions of perception.

He seemed to see a vast river, and Jiang Ning’s figure was suspended above it, surrounded by countless fragments of True Spirit that glimmered like stars around him, ignited and extinguished by his breath, circulated by his thoughts.

"Is this... the true realm of the world’s second?" Beicang King murmured to himself, with a hint of tremor in his voice.

Compared to Prince Zhenbei, he felt more.

The more he felt, the more he sensed Jiang Ning’s terrifying nature.

Earlier in the council hall, Jiang Ning’s scene of suppressing Xu Zhen, Prince Zhenbei, with one hand was a contest of physical strength.

And now, what Jiang Ning instilled in him was the shock of a frog in a well, the awe of an ant gazing at the sky, making him feel his own insignificance and a deep-seated reverence.

At this moment, he also understood why Prince Zhenbei dispersed everyone from the Prince Mansion and sealed off the surrounding area.

If Jiang Ning’s cultivation disturbance was spread by the well-meaning ones, it would stir up a huge wave across the world.

At this moment, countless pondering expressions flashed across his eyes.

A moment later, he took a deep breath, dragging several heavy wooden boxes, walking towards Jiang Ning.

Arriving at the council hall.

He stopped.

And just then, Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

The divine light retracted within his eyes, and the figure reflected in his heart also dissipated with it.

"Prince, all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from my mansion have been organized, and I’ve brought them, please take a look!"

Jiang Ning stood up, looked at Beicang King, and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Beicang King!"

"There’s no need for courtesy, Prince! Your aid is a salvation for the lifelines of my entire family! These items are worth nothing much, far less than the assistance you’ve provided me!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "Beicang King is too modest. These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are of great help to me. Regardless of their rank, the more the merrier."

"It’s excellent if they can assist the Prince!" Beicang King said.

While speaking, he laid out the heavy boxes in front of Jiang Ning.

Then retreated two steps, cupping his hands: "Prince, these five boxes are all my mansion’s accumulations. Although not of high rank, the quantity is acceptable. Moreover, I’ve ordered all major families and merchant associations in the city to send all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to this place, they should arrive shortly."

Jiang Ning nodded, his gaze sweeping over the five wooden boxes, spiritual power spreading like water, instantly encompassing all the items in the boxes within his perception.

He estimated secretly that these five boxes, though similar in quality to those from Zhenbei Prince Mansion, had more quantity, expected to provide over forty Source Points.

This would be a decent aid for him.

Just at this moment.

Beicang King looked at Jiang Ning, opened his mouth, but then closed it again.

"What’s the matter?" Jiang Ning looked up.

Though he hadn’t been looking directly at Beicang King, he still felt Beicang King’s hesitation.

"What does the Prince mean by this?" Beicang King asked a bit awkwardly.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning chuckled but didn’t dwell on it.

He could tell that Beicang King wasn’t ready to talk.

If that’s the case, he couldn’t be bothered to inquire further.

The next moment.

He came to the first wooden box.

He raised his hand and patted it.

The first wooden box opened in response, revealing the jade boxes and brocade caskets inside.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, unleashing a terrifying suction, causing all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to transform into streaks of light and rush into his mouth.

The medicinal power exploded in the abdomen, gushing like a river, swiftly refined by the powerful devouring force within him.

After several breaths, he slowly opened his eyes, and a prompt appeared before him.

[Source Points +9.8].

"Not bad." He nodded secretly, then proceeded to the remaining four boxes.

After about dozens of breaths, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in all five wooden boxes had been completely devoured and refined by him.

He closed his eyes and felt for a moment, the medicinal power inside him rolling, not yet entirely absorbed by his body.

He then looked at the panel.

[Source Points]: 443.8

"The accumulation is nearing five hundred points! If things go well subsequently, surpassing a thousand points in Heavenly Palace shouldn’t be hard!"

Thinking of this, his heart was settled.

With these Source Points as aid, he’ll be able to elevate his strength to another level beyond the current foundation.

Thus, even when facing the Honorable God of Great Snow Mountain, he’d have some confidence.

Regarding this god, who exists only in Great Snow Mountain, he held some curiosity.

According to ancient texts.

This god is exceptionally ancient, existing before Great Xia’s establishment, maybe even further back, a living fossil that endured the great changes of heaven and earth.

For this reason, his interest in this Honorable God from Great Snow Mountain grew more curious.

Fleeting thoughts passed his mind in just an instant.

Afterward, he looked at Beicang King.

"Moving forward, I will need more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Every added treasure makes my strength stronger, increasing my grasp on King Zhuanlun, the opponent!"

Beicang King, hearing this, hurriedly cupped his hands: "Rest assured, Prince, I’ve already urged them to speed up, and at most after an hour, the first batch of materials will gradually arrive. Additionally, I’ve ordered the city’s major pharmacies’ stock to be requisitioned, ensuring the Prince’s satisfaction."

"During the time ahead, I guarantee all stock of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the city will appear before the Prince!" Beicang King added another sentence.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded, then suddenly asked.

"You Beicang King help me like this, not resentful of me?"

"Prince, you killed my son, to say there’s no resentment at all would be false!" Beicang King spoke, continuing: "But I also understand the urgency of the situation. If Celestial Palace City falls, my family and children will perish! Based on my ability, under the watch of that North Barbarian State Preceptor King Zhuanlun, escaping the city with three taels of descendants is already a huge fortune!"

"Your princely heir is dead?" Jiang Ning hesitated.

"Prince personally unleashed a deadly hand, have you forgotten?" Beicang King’s tone contained some irritation.

On hearing this, Jiang Ning shook his head.

"You’ve misunderstood! Though I acted ruthlessly, I didn’t take the life of your princely heir! Had I wanted his life, then I would have taken yours on the same day too, definitely wouldn’t leave you to seek revenge on me later."

Hearing these words, Beicang King’s gaze tightened.

"Prince didn’t deceive me?"

"Why would I deceive you?" Jiang Ning said.

On hearing this, Beicang King fell silent.

He understood that Jiang Ning’s words were perfectly justified.

No need to deceive him?

Earlier, he’d witnessed Jiang Ning’s strength too.

With physical strength alone, he suppressed Prince Zhenbei.

This clearly demonstrated that in terms of physical strength, Jiang Ning is far above Prince Zhenbei.

Having coexisted in the North with Prince Zhenbei for many years, he’d long known that their abilities were not far apart, neck and neck.

This also proves, in terms of physical strength, Jiang Ning far exceeds him, the two not in the same league.

As for true strength, he was even more certain Jiang Ning was far above him.

By virtue of the Immortal’s realm alone, it was enough to completely suppress him, not to mention the rest.

At this moment, countless thoughts coursed through his mind.

He then fixed his gaze.

"Li—Tian—Wen!!" he said each word distinctly.

The clear voice fell into Jiang Ning’s ears.

Upon hearing this name.

"Divine Might King?" Jiang Ning asked.

Beicang King looked at Jiang Ning and nodded.

"I trust the Prince’s words! Because I believe there’s no need to deceive me, nor disdain to deceive me on such matters! Earlier, I felt something was wrong, wanted to ask the Prince."

"Now, after hearing the Prince’s words, I’ve completely understood!"

Upon hearing this.

"Was it Divine Might King who secretly attacked?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Nine times out of ten... ." Beicang King raised his head ninety degrees to the sky, eyes slowly closing, silent.

At this moment, Jiang Ning sensed within Beicang King, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

As thoughts coursed through his mind, he roughly understood.

"Seems like none of them are easy to deal with!" he sighed inwardly.

"If not for my outstanding strength, I would really be devoured without a trace by these people!"

"In terms of schemes and tactics, I pale compared to these figures, but thankfully my strength surpasses, allowing me to disregard their plots! Should they plot against me, once I discover, I’d directly punch them to death!!"
