Chapter 1731: Chapter 679: Demon Sect Ancestral Court Great Saint Certified by Old Demons (Part 2)

Liyu said, "You’ve only interacted with him a few times—do you truly understand him? Still, Mingzi’s temperament really is well‑suited to staying in the Xuanhuang Martial Hall."

Xuantian asked gently, "Following you to shoulder debts?"

The two Artifact Spirits started quarreling.

The night wind brushed past; the ribbon at Jiang Ran’s waist fluttered, her long black skirt snapped and rustled in the wind, outlining her tall, slender figure in a flawless silhouette.

Her heart was far from calm. Back then, when they first met on Black and White Mountain, the man before her had only just set foot on the path of cultivation. In merely seven years, he was already revealing the bearing of a Great Saint.

An unusual look surfaced on her jade‑white pretty face, her eyes grew ever brighter, and in the end she really couldn’t hold back. "Princess Qin, dare you face me in a battle at the same realm?"

"I can." Qin Ming found it novel. All these years, in most situations he’d been striking upward against stronger foes—when had he ever needed to suppress his own realm?

Demoness Jiang Ran’s bright eyes and graceful brows shone; her smile was both sweet and bewitching, and dazzling as well. Up to today, once she stopped hiding her edge, she had yet to lose in a same‑realm clash!

The two suddenly crossed blows, making the arguing Artifact Spirits pause mid‑quarrel.

In the distance, the group of Guests widened their eyes, held their breath, and fell utterly silent, all of them wholly focused on watching the fight.

In an instant, countless Miao Techniques blossomed here. Jiang Ran was indeed worthy of being a Saint of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect; her methods never repeated—one moment she trod upon the stars, the next she wielded a Secret Treasure Tree, then condensed a Divine Body, then carved densely packed Immortal Seals into the Void...

She bathed in Divine Light, traversing the heavens and earth. The Immortal Sword she sacrificed cleaved through the clouds; the Heavenly Thunder it drew made seas of cloud in all directions tremble, terrifying bolts of lightning linking heaven and earth.

In the distance, the group’s bodies went taut and they involuntarily retreated. Demoness Jiang’s myriad means made their souls quiver, their hearts surging with towering waves.

Among them were a few Grandmasters with broad experience, and they felt that Jiang Ran’s methods were far beyond the norm—could she truly be about to step onto the Path of Great Saint?

No wonder she was so renowned among the Xuanhuang Twelve Sects; it absolutely wasn’t just her extraordinary ability to rack up debts that made her famous across the sects.

Many watched until their Spirits were swept away and their eyes dazzled; they felt they had followed the right person—this was surely a future Great Saint.

Lost in awe and shock, they also sensed an indescribable oppression and震撼 pressing down on them.

That Emperor Qin was actually meeting each move head‑on, dismantling every strike, all the way breaking All Technique, receiving every offensive from Demoness Jiang.

"Bang!"

Qin Ming seized Jiang Ran’s snow‑white wrist and said, "So‑called Great Saint potential—opening the God‑藏—is to, within your current realm, walk to the very limit of a certain Domain."

For instance, Circulation Defense Power drawn to its fullest. Beyond that, there was also the End of Dharma Domain he displayed whenever he was forced to stake his life.

As for Mu Shiniang, she had grasped the Wheel of Time—that ultimate Domain was terrifying beyond measure.

"Is that so?" Jiang Ran’s jade wrist was caught, yet she didn’t panic. Instead, she smiled serenely and calmly.

For a moment, her smile shone so brilliantly it almost carried a demonic charm, making many of the distant spectators fall into a daze, even somewhat Lost to themselves.

It was plain she had now become a demoness in the truest sense.

Her current aura was very different from the temperament she’d had back in Ye State as Jiang Immortal.

Every lift of her hand, every frown or smile, radiated mysterious brilliance, strongly affecting everyone’s Spirit state, as though a Demon Path Saintess were about to ferry all beings.

Qin Ming was taken aback; for one fleeting instant his Spirit too wavered a bit, but in the very next breath he recovered. His Consciousness Realm flared with light, perfectly rounded, his Spirit dazzling.

Without doubt, Jiang Ran had extraordinary attainment in the Spiritual Domain, far beyond what a Saint of this realm should possess.

Qin Ming praised, "Your smile really is very sweet."

Jiang Ran’s smile froze. This old acquaintance was actually unaffected—her radiating Spiritual Domain was simply broken like that?

Qin Ming evaluated in earnest. "Not bad. You’ve tilled quite deep in this Domain; one more step beyond the hundred‑foot pole, and you can be counted as possessing the qualifications of a Great Saint."

He added, "You must have cultivated some incredible Spirit‑type Cultivation Technique, yes? Next time you break through, if you undergo Spirit Nirvana, then your position will be thoroughly secured."

The next instant, Qin Ming felt his own body uncontrollably lift off the ground; he let go of the white wrist he was holding.

"Hm?" He was genuinely surprised.

There was still someone who could deal with him like this?

At the fleeting moment when his body stiffened slightly, the Chaos Force around Qin Ming’s body erupted in a great surge. It was actually because he sensed danger that his strongest Defense posture was triggered.

"How is this possible?" Jiang Ran was失神, her red lips slightly parted, brilliant light bursting in her eyes.

Since her debut, so long as the realm gap wasn’t too great, no one had ever been able to block her ultimate move.

Yet now, this ability was actually being resisted by Qin Ming.

Moreover, Jiang Ran was certain Qin Ming hadn’t suppressed her with a higher realm; he was still clashing with her at the same level.

Qin Ming’s expression grew grave. He had truly been startled just now—that kind of Controlling power had, in an instant, forced his body taut, simultaneously triggering his True Form, Chaos Force, and the rest.

Very quickly, he relaxed again.

Because he had already seen through what it was. It should be—Controlling All Things.

In the past, Jiang Ran had plucked Black and White Mountain’s greatest Creation, taking a mysterious liquid from within a strange stone and smearing it on her forehead, thereby gaining this ability.

Tracing back, that strange stone had come from Yujing, where it had once been enshrined.

In the end, it and a piece of broken cloth had accidentally flowed out together.

Qin Ming marveled, "With one careless moment you’ll fall into its way. Remarkable—able to Control All Things, even control people."

The sparring was over; there was no need to continue.

"At the same realm, I’m still no match." Jiang Ran said softly, yet she wasn’t dejected. Back in Ye State, she had already sensed how extraordinary Qin Ming was.
