CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 233: BREAKING LIMITS! FURNACE FIRE REALM! (PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, SEEKING MONTHLY TICKETS)

Martial Artists are also human. Humans inevitably possess the Seven Emotions and the Six Desires: joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire.

Although demons had weaker spiritual power and combat abilities than Outer Disciples, some Outer Disciples still perished in the Underground Abyss.

The fundamental reason was that even those in the Furnace Fire Realm could not completely control their Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

This was true even for those in the Furnace Fire Realm, let alone Ye Huang, who was still only in the Detachment Realm. Upon hearing he had a chance to experience a female Martial Artist of the Detachment Realm, the restlessness in Ye Huang’s heart could no longer be quelled. In his mind, images of the several female Outer Disciples he had just seen beside Jiang Shu kept resurfacing.

Even Lu Qingling’s cold expression occasionally flashed through his mind.

He wondered if the women from the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities possessed even half the beauty of the senior sisters in the Sect.

Following Yuan Xuan out of the Sect, Ye Huang entered the prosperous sacred lands outside the Dynasty for the first time.

Meanwhile, back at Chores Peak, Jiang Shu only met with Xue Xuan and Luo Yu at the Spiritual Food Hall before returning to his room to rest.

Although the environment of the Underground Abyss could constantly temper a Martial Artist’s spiritual power, humans inevitably grew tired. Sitting cross-legged, Jiang Shu activated his Holy Embryo Breathing, every cell in his body thirstily absorbing the ambient Heaven and Earth energy.

"In the Da Jing Dynasty, I first reached the peak of Body Refinement with the Middle Grade Cultivation Technique ’Four Symbols Internal Energy,’ then achieved the pinnacle of Qi Refinement with the ’Vermilion Palace Thunder Technique,’ and lastly, I cultivated the ’Heaven and Earth Void Thunder Soul Refining Chapter.’ After coming to the Sect, although I switched to the overarching Martial Arts ’Heavenly Intent True Self Fist’ at the first opportunity, my cultivation of the ’Heaven and Earth Void Thunder Soul Refining Chapter’ never truly ceased. Now, the day to Break the Limit has finally arrived."

Jiang Shu had cultivated for four years. His physique, Yuan Qi, and Spirit all surpassed those of Martial Artists in the same realm.

Within his mind, it was as if thunderbolts were flashing, continuously condensing and compressing his spiritual power.

He was still progressing, still tempering himself!

Shadows of demons from the Underground Abyss seemed to reappear in his mind. As Jiang Shu pictured the Illusion Realms they conjured, he acknowledged he was not without the Seven Emotions and Six Desires. However, his resolve was as firm as an eternal rock. With the Great Dao in sight, he forcefully controlled all his emotions.

If demons tried to entice him with lust, he would visualize the beauties as skeletons to dispel his desire.

If demons threatened him with terror, he would visualize the skeletons as beauties to dispel his fear.

If demons tried to pressure him using illusions of his family—but he, a transmigrator of Two Realms, how could he possibly encounter his family in the Underground Abyss? He would throw a single punch, upholding Heavenly Intent and seizing control of his own self!

For Jiang Shu, the demons’ only advantages over him were their troublesome Demonic Qi and their spiritual power, which was stronger than his.

But soon, these demons would no longer be a match for him.

After resting for ten days, Jiang Shu immediately followed Luo Qing to the Outer Disciples’ teleportation Great Array, descending once more into the Underground Abyss. This time, however, Xue Xuan and Luo Yu joined him.

Ordinary servant disciple tasks accumulated Contribution Points far too slowly.

However, by following Outer Disciples into the Underground Abyss, one could earn fifteen Contribution Points in just ten days.

Seven such trips would be enough to accumulate one hundred Contribution Points.

Of course, Jiang Shu only planned to take Xue Xuan and Luo Yu with him three times. After that, he would need to focus all his efforts on breaking through to the Furnace Fire Realm.

"Jiang Shu, after two more trips, I will have enough Contribution Points. I wonder, how long will it take for you to obtain Spirit Rank Cultivation Techniques?"

Having returned from the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities, Ye Huang was triumphant. He had completely shed the fatigue from his time in the Underground Abyss and was now laughing boisterously beside Yuan Xuan. In the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities, he had witnessed so much. Now, looking at Jiang Shu again, he naturally felt a sense of superiority, looking down on him.

No matter how diligently one cultivated in the Six Martial Arts Realms, or how strong one became, in the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities, such an individual would only be considered to have an ordinary family background. Those who were slightly less fortunate might even be sold into servitude.

Only reaching the Furnace Fire Realm represented a true transformation!

Advance, and one could become an Outer Disciple of the Sect. Retreat, and one could be a distinguished guest among the families of the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities.

And he could formally begin attempting to break through to this realm in just two months!

Ah, Spirit Rank Cultivation Techniques! With the enhancement from my Divine Power of Heart Lotus Platform, my cultivation speed will be even faster. Perhaps I’ll reach entry-level in just a few months.

"By then, I will be waiting for you in the Outer Sect. I hope you don’t disappoint me. Don’t end up still wandering around Chores Peak when Yue Baxian has become an Outer Disciple."

Ye Huang’s voice was filled with mockery. This wasn’t just petty gloating; it was a deliberate attempt to verbally attack and suppress Jiang Shu’s martial heart.

Had it been Xue Xuan or Luo Yu facing Ye Huang’s taunts, they would undoubtedly have fallen into panic and self-doubt. After all, neither was confident of advancing to the Furnace Fire Realm in such a short time.

But Jiang Shu was different.

He possessed a system panel and knew better than anyone when he would be able to take that step.

Thus, he simply glanced at Ye Huang and spoke indifferently, "Two months, is it? Then I will be waiting."

"Senior Sister Lu, let’s go."

"Hmm."

Unsurprised by Jiang Shu’s reaction, Lu Qingling gave a cool nod. She then led three junior female Outer Disciples and ten servant disciples deeper into the Underground Abyss.

The dozen or so people were soon shrouded in mist, growing ever more distant from Yuan Xuan, Ye Huang, and their party.

"Brother Jiang, if we go down to the Underground Abyss two more times, will your Contribution Points reach one hundred?"

Their luck was good this time. Unlike their first descent, they weren’t immediately surrounded by demons. Seeing that their surroundings were relatively safe, Luo Yu couldn’t resist asking via spiritual transmission.
