Chapter 1721: Chapter 676: Witch Jiang Ran (2)

On the day her merit became complete, the Nine Colored Divine Light in her place of seclusion soared into the skies.

Qin Ming pondered, "Jiang Ran doesn’t conceal herself in this land, she is no longer discreet. It seems the competition is extremely fierce, forcing her to fully unleash herself and fully exhibit her extraordinary gifts to receive strong support and nurturing from the sect."

In such an exalted Great Sect, continuing to remain dormant is fundamentally impossible and brings no benefit.

There are also some negative comments about Jiang Ran, namely... she is especially capable of incurring debts.

"No one expected that aside from drawing some treasure-level Spiritual Objects early from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, Jiang Ran also had secret dealings with Du Jie Sect, Chengping Sect, and others, borrowing from some old masters."

Moreover, rumors spread that what she borrowed were all extraordinary items, each worth a fortune.

"Nine Colored Divine Light circling her body, with the most top-notch talents, who wouldn’t be envious? Some people signed agreements with her, supporting her rise, with an eye on her future."

To this day, people still sigh when this is mentioned.

Yet no one expected her to borrow so much, secretly negotiating with multiple parties and writing astonishing promissory notes at the same time.

Naturally, she managed to borrow because it’s said to be connected to a certain ancient Artifact Spirit who vouched for her.

Qin Ming realized it was undoubtedly the second Artifact Spirit in the Heavenly Halberd—Six Desires.

But now, many veteran noble families and powerful figures from various sects wanted to curse that Artifact Spirit, questioning how it could mortgage one person’s future to so many entities.

Once Qin Ming learned about this, his brow furrowed deeply, realizing Jiang Ran borrowed rare Spiritual Objects for the present, while others coveted her brilliant future.

Even now, people still find strong interest in discussing these past events.

"Though this new prodigy Jiang Ran deeply unsettles some veteran noble families and celebrities, no one dares to take action against her, and she is instead safer."

"Mainly because she owes so much, none of the few families want to see anything happen to her, fearing they won’t recover those debts."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming was speechless, wondering if such a strategy could be executed?

Gaining deeper insight, Qin Ming understood Jiang Ran’s situation back then.

Being new and without backing from ancient noble families or Earth Immortal Ancestors, her only path to rapidly rise and gain top-tier competitive advantage was through unconventional means.

Therefore, Jiang Ran became an actual Demoness Jiang; privately few called her Jiang Immortal.

Putting himself in her shoes, Qin Ming pieced together her plan. With no background or external support, she took out "Void loans" to create opportunities and bind herself with all parties, mortgaging her future to pave the way forward.

Clearly, Jiang Ran intends to relentlessly tread this path to success, allowing no failure along the way. As long as she can reach the pinnacle in tens or hundreds of years and overlook all, those "dark debts" wouldn’t matter.

If she eventually reaches the top yet cannot dazzle beyond other Ancestor Masters and Earth Immortals, she might suffer terribly.

Naturally, it’s primarily because she mastered the Ancestor’s Marvelous Method in half a year, achieving Great Nirvana and enveloping herself in Nine Colored Divine Light, garnering significant attention. Such unparalleled talent is the prerequisite for borrowing.

Plus, with the return of the Ancient Artifact Spirit Six Desires, personally guaranteeing her, an abnormal mutual interest group was formed.

The Xuanhuang Martial Hall comprises twelve sects, and not every sect would do Six Desires a favor.

In fact, some major sects have rather unfriendly relations with it.

This means Jiang Ran still resides in a strongly competitive environment.

However, at this point, even without a prominent Jiang family or shelter from an unrivaled Earth Immortal, the factor of "Void loans" gives her a rather unconventional safety guarantee.

After six or seven days in this land, Qin Ming gained deeper understanding of the Xuanhuang Twelve Sects.

Once someone becomes a sect’s Saint, no harm can befall them.

Top successors can engage in brutal competition, even drawing blood and entering constant battle, but never to the point of murder.

Qin Ming mused, "Jiang Ran used resources she acquired early to pave her Saintly path, further ensuring her safety."

He asked someone, "What realm is Jiang Immortal at now?"

That person hesitated at first, as others privately referred to her as Demoness Jiang. This title was unusual, but he replied, "I estimate she’s at Fourth Realm Perfection, or perhaps already a Grandmaster."

Qin Ming showed a shocked expression and said, "So extraordinary, yet she’s still young, right?"

"It’s unavoidable; she’s born with a Nine Colored Divine Light Perfect Physique, incomparable to others, plus she owes so many dark debts, pushing herself desperately forward, how could she not succeed?"

Instantly, many sighed, noting how some, blessed with exceptional talent and more diligent than others, nearly crush their peers; it’s hard not to succeed.

"She’s now only twenty-four. If she’s already a Grandmaster, with just two or three more years of honing, she can then unleash a special Human Body Divine Treasure, embodying the Great Saint aura."

"Brother, you’re out of touch. Rumor has it, Demoness Jiang is striving for special resources and already preparing for the Path of Great Saint."

"But she’s so young, isn’t it too early?"

Qin Ming understood that Jiang Ran couldn’t afford to lose.

She prepares the groundwork in advance, needing to push to the forefront quickly; only by swiftly reaching the pinnacle can she eliminate dark debts and solve the quandaries of the future.

Qin Ming went directly to seek Jiang Ran, preparing to reunite with an old acquaintance.

As a Saint, Demoness Jiang enjoys superior treatment, with a mansion in the outer city primarily to recruit followers.

This mansion is quite grand, with Fire Springs gurgling within and the courtyard filled with exotic flowers and herbs, all aged medicinal plants.
