Chapter 1320 - 1320: Refining Heart Dao Incarnation

"Hahaha, a pleasure, a pleasure!"

Brother Cheng cupped his hands toward the members of the various Great Sects.

The Three-Eyed Tiger was also waggling his brows and making faces.

"That beating we just gave you, are you satisfied with the service?"

"No need to thank us, eliminating you is simply our duty."

Brother Cheng wore a beaming smile, completely unconcerned about driving people mad.

"Bit of a hassle, sure, but our service has always been thorough."

Their conversation, as if no one else were there, left everyone else completely confused.

The rhythm here is off!

These are puppets from the Jade River?

Puppets can talk?

And in this kind of infuriating, mocking tone that kills you without paying for your life?

These two puppets are way too smart, aren't they?

Everyone felt they must have misunderstood something.

"Could it be they aren't part of the Jade River trial?"

Daoist Venerable Chengshan was the first to react.

Li Yang Daoist Venerable also wore a deeply puzzled look.

"They don't look like it to me either."

The Elders of the other Sects had already surrounded them directly.

"Who are you?"

"Damn it, we actually took you for Jade River puppets, and it turns out you're two who snuck in to cause trouble?"

"Outrageous!"

"Take them down!"

"You mustn't..."

Behind them, Chengshan and Li Yang hurriedly raised their hands to stop them.

Don't be ridiculous—just now their over nine thousand combat power got sent flying out with a single move, let alone you three- to four-thousand-combat-power Elders.

Sure enough, Brother Cheng didn't bother with courtesy.

He directly waved his hand, sending out a remote, fan-shaped shockwave that spread out in all directions.

The nearly hundred Elders in front were almost simultaneously blasted into the air on the spot, then slammed heavily to the ground.

Jiang Cheng had actually held back.

Mainly, this time he was facing Alchemists, and there was no deep hatred; for the moment he didn't want to kill anyone.

And that casual wave of his had an immediate, dramatic effect.

The spectator stands, which had been quite quiet, suddenly saw the entire hall boil over.

"What just happened?"

"My god, what kind of combat power is this?"

"Who is that man?"

"Unbelievable!"

"So the one they ran into inside the Jade River was actually such a terrifyingly strong existence?"

Fan Lei, Yan Yi, and the others looked even more incredulous.

They knew Jiang Cheng was an Emperor Pill Master, but not even in their dreams had they thought he'd be this strong!

Those able to enter the venue were either genius disciples of the various Great Sects, or Elders and Sect Leaders.

Their combat power was at least two thousand at the bottom, and on average about three thousand, right?

And yet nearly a hundred of them had been flattened in an instant by Jiang Cheng alone?

Is this even human?

How did he do that?

In fact, it wasn't just them—even Tian Lin, Beihe, and Jin Pi and Zhengxu from the Celestial Pill Department were all startled.

Elder Jiang is this strong?

Even if he's an Eighth-Grade Imperial Alchemist approved by the Origin, his combat power should at most be under five thousand, right?

But the fighting strength he'd just revealed was at least thirty thousand or more!

How is that possible?

The various Sects' Elders who'd been shouting about taking Jiang Cheng down were all sucking in cold breaths.

None of them dared say another word.

The man in front of them was like an existence from a higher plane than they were.

And those disciples who'd been dissatisfied because they'd been eliminated all fell silent like mice in front of a cat.

Brother Cheng was very pleased with this effect.

He slowly flew to a position in front of everyone, Feiling above them, looking down over the whole hall.

"I'm indeed not some puppet conjured by the Jade River competition."

As soon as those words fell, everyone's expression tightened.

Could he really have come to cause trouble?

But someone coming to cause trouble with this level of power was a bit too absurd, wasn't it?

Conservatively speaking, this man's four professions of Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Array—two of them had to be above Tier Nine, and the other two couldn't be below Tier Eight.

Otherwise his combat power wouldn't be this insanely high!

A person like that should long since have shaken the entire Primordial Immortal Realm, known in every household.

How could he be so unfamiliar?

But Brother Cheng's next sentence immediately denied all their wild guesses.

"I am the world incarnation of the Refining Heart Dao."

"What are Jade River puppets compared to that?"

"Do they even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as me?"

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Fan Lei, Yan Yi, and Ming Jia on the spectator stands almost spat out water at the same time.

Having come all the way here with Jiang Cheng, they of course knew his identity.

The three were cursing madly in their hearts—this old fellow really dares to spin tales.

It's his first time at this Refining Heart Dao, he literally only learned the combat power Rules here today, and yet he dares to call himself some world incarnation. Why don't you just ascend straight to heaven?

Do you really take everyone else for idiots?

Tian Lin, Beihe, and the others of the Celestial Pill Department all twitched at the corners of their mouths, looking torn between laughter and tears.

You're clearly the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department—since when are you a world incarnation?

However, things didn't develop the way they imagined.

Upon hearing that Jiang was a world incarnation, the Sect Leaders, Elders, and disciples of the various Sects in the Land of Dao Extinction all dramatically changed expressions.

After a brief moment of shock, Daoist Venerable Chengshan of the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect stepped forward first.

He bowed deeply with utmost respect, bending all the way down to the ground before Brother Cheng.

Then, in a reverent yet ringing tone, shaking as he called out, he shouted.

"We pay our respects… to the Refining Heart Dao Incarnation!"

The Purple Nether Palace's Sect Leader, Li Yang Daoist Venerable, was in no way behind him.

He also bowed all the way down to the floor.

"Greetings, world incarnation. I am the Sect Leader of the Purple Nether Palace; I humbly beg the world incarnation to bestow us his teachings..."

With the two of them taking the lead, the others no longer had the slightest hesitation.

The Elders and disciples of the various Sects in the Land of Dao Extinction all rushed forward to pay respect to the world incarnation.

Their expressions were so excited they verged on fanatic, to the point that some disciples were actually trembling.

This scene completely stunned Fan Lei, Yan Yi, and the others who knew the truth.

That kid isn't the world incarnation of the Refining Heart Dao at all; he's just putting on airs and playing god!

Why aren't any of you verifying it, or at least asking one more question, before believing him just like that?

Did the entire hall get possessed or something?

In truth, they were looking at it the wrong way.

Because they'd gotten to know Jiang Cheng beforehand, of course the so-called identity of world incarnation sounded fake and ridiculous to them.

But the others didn't know Jiang Cheng.

From their perspective, how could an existence with at least thirty thousand combat power be an ordinary person?

If you tried to make them believe that there was someone in the world whose Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Array professions were all above Tier Eight, they'd only feel their intelligence was being insulted.

Someone who'd reached Eighth Grade or higher in a single discipline was already an extraordinary Grandmaster—how could he also split his attention across all four disciplines, each above Eighth Grade, even reaching Ninth Grade?

That simply wasn't within human capability.

So they would rather believe that Jiang Cheng was the incarnation of the Refining Heart Dao.

Because that identity actually seemed more logical.

Combat power that strong could only be explained by him being the incarnation of the Refining Heart Dao!

The Jade River puppets didn't have that level of status.

And when faced with such an existence whose Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Array are all top-tier, nearly godlike, it was only normal for them to express their respect.

Encountering a "world incarnation" was, in their eyes, a once-in-a-lifetime, heaven-sent opportunity.

How could they not be excited?

"We beg the Refining Heart Dao Incarnation to grant us teachings, to guide us lost souls on the path..."
