"You aren't human!" Jiang Xiu's eyes narrowed into a thin line. Under his gaze, the entire heaven and earth turned monochrome. As his gaze swept across the temple, that god's sculpture transformed into a fiery red color.
He smiled faintly, "You aren't going to come out? Or are you waiting for this Deity to drag you out?"
"Hah!" That thing let out a hideous voice, "You want me to appear? That'll depend on your skills. Don't act like a lamb delivering itself to the wolf's mouth."
"You're looking for a beating!"
Jiang Xiu acted quickly, his body floated towards the sky as a pitch-black fog rose behind him. He charged towards the god's sculpture and grabbed towards it.
The opponent was astonished as it didn't expect that Jiang Xiu had already locked onto its position. However, just as Jiang Xiu's hand was about to reach the sculpture, it rippled like water which made his hand passed through.
"Flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the lake?"
The little evil spirit had real skills!
"Ignorant and naive, this is endless 'Flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the lake,' called as 'One Thought, 3000 Worlds.' Brat, you can never escape once you enter it."
Jiang Xiu was shocked. 'Flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the lake,' was a single-layer illusion. One of the layers was real and the other fake, it was a small skill. However, if it were 'One Thought, 3000 Worlds,' that'd mean trouble as it had several illusionary worlds inside it and only one of them was real. It was complicated to break it.
If it were the Jiang Xiu from before, he'd take care of it quickly. No matter how volatile the opponent's technique was, just a single sword move and the sharp endless sword light would utterly destroy all its magic.
But now, Deity Xiu was still only a delicate, tiny Divinity Cultivator.
A recently Awakened little infant.
He just didn't possess that kind of immense power.
"Hahahaha…"
The evil spirit let out a sinister laugh. He was waiting for Jiang Xiu to feel devastated but was replied with a cold and apathetic gaze instead. "You believe I can't break your technique?"
"Ignorant! Stupid!"
He made several hand seals at lightning speed and spoke the words, "One Thought, 3000 Worlds!"
BOOOMM!
Jiang Xiu had gathered many cultivation arts of the Immortal Martial Continent. The illusion skill 'One Thought, 3000 Worlds' was just a part of the minor dao and wasn't powerful enough to scale to the top. He always disdained to use it, as illusion skills were nothing in front of the real experts. However, it was still useful in fights between the lower power realms, or else they'd have no value at all.
"No. It's impossible. How can you use it?!"
'One Thought, 3000 Worlds' vs. 'One Thought, 3000 Worlds,' if both sides collided with each other, that'd cause a real power collision of worlds.
BAANNGGG!
A golden radiance lit up the inside of the temple.
"Come out for this Deity obediently!"
Jiang Xiu's eyes began to glow as he rapidly made hand seals, causing a golden light built of dao glyphs to appear. His body descended with a bang as that golden seal was struck onto the ground by him. An unbelievable amount of supreme divine force leaked out from the golden seal as it spread in all directions. The surroundings had become similar to tofu as they were obliterated by the air blast. The entire temple disappeared as a result.
"See there, it's Mr. Jiang!"
As the illusion was broken, Tang Wenchong could see Jiang Xiu at a distance and everyone else as well.
Simultaneously, they could also see an enormous shadow drift in the faraway darkness.
"It came out!"
A giant monster could vaguely be seen in the sky as it took refuge in the darkness. Nan Kui spoke in an alarmed voice, "Such a frightening aura as well as large spiritual force. I-It's a Ghost King!"
Even Little Master Teacher was incomparably shocked, "Yes!"
The so-called Ghost King was an existence which had transcended to the limits of a ghost and had strength close to an Immortal's.
Whoosh!
"You've offended me!" The Ghost King bellowed in anger. Its body seemed to blend together with the pitch-black sky as it pounced towards Jiang Xiu. That frightening scene was as if the entire heavens were falling down.
"Mr. Jiang!"
Jiang Xiu stood in the same place with his hands behind him. His hair blew from the wind, and his clothes fluttered. Even when confronting such an awful existence, he stood unyieldingly. His raised his head to look at it with a gaze filled with endless dignity as well as disdain!
"Dodge it!"
At this moment, everyone felt extremely nervous.
BOOOOMMMMM!
As the Ghost King was just a little bit away from reaching Jiang Xiu, he suddenly punched towards the ground. The ground was unable to bear his attack and split open. An immensely powerful light burst forth from underground, sprouting out like a fountain and making it seem like it was daytime on the entire site.
A complicated array reflected into the eyes of the Ghost King.
That array was something Jiang Xiu had set up before he entered the illusion. His cultivation was too weak right now, and it wasn't possible for Jiang Xiu to kill him with just his raw power as that'd be a difficult feat to achieve. Therefore, he had arranged this sealing array in advance.
Just like a hunter who sets up a good trap and then uses himself as bait to draw out the target.
The Ghost King shouted in alarm, "Just who are you?"
Whoosh, a dominant attractive force originated from the sealing array, which sucked the Ghost King inside. The array lighted up after that, and the entire place recovered its darkness.
A flickering ball of light floated in mid-air and then fell down as if it had suddenly lost all power.
Jiang Xiu reached out and let the pearl drop onto his hand, "This energy is quite pure. If everything goes smoothly, it's possible to enter the Awakening Stage's 2nd Mythical Realm after absorbing it…"
"Hmm?"
The pearl trembled fiercely, "Mister, please spare my life."
Jiang Xiu hadn't expected this. It can still transmit its voice outside after getting sealed by me. First, the 'One Thought, 3000 Worlds,' and now it can even transmit its voice through the seal. Looks like this thing isn't that simple.
"Who taught you magic?"
"The True Monarch taught me magic. Please, mister, spare my life!"
"Why did he teach you?"
"I've protected the True Monarch's Temple for 500 years already and am almost about to receive enlightenment. Mister, please grant this favor and look over this."
"So what if you receive enlightenment, you'll just become a Ghost Immortal."
The Ghost King was stupefied. That tone was too big. It appeared that Jiang Xiu didn't even pay attention to Ghost Immortals. That was a level the Ghost King had aspired to reach all his life.
"Mister possesses godly powers, so Ghost Immortals naturally aren't anything in your eyes. I've cultivated for these hundreds of years with the wish to become a Ghost Immortal one day. I request Mister to please look over this and spare my life."
Jiang Xiu muttered to himself when suddenly a black smoke appeared from the pearl and shot outwards. Jiang Xiu's voice turned ice-cold, "You want to escape?"
He made a hand seal towards the black smoke which was then followed by a divine light as it shot out, resulting in a mournful scream to resound in the entire place.
Bzzzttt!
It appeared as if that black smoke got obliterated by the formless light.
Jiang Xiu raised the pearl with his left hand as his right hand waved at the air, which made the black smoke about to disperse gather inside the pearl.
"You're too impatient. If you had waited, this Deity might've released you."
"You lost your life in vain."
All the Shamans present were stupefied.
"It was killed?"
"T-This is too…"
They were left speechless. It was a Ghost King, an existence which even a Foundation Establishment personage could only seal. You just pointed your finger at it to exterminate it, there's no need to make it look so horrifying, right?
Nan Kui and Little Master Teacher were incredibly shocked.
They couldn't even start to imagine what level Jiang Xiu's magic had reached. It can't be the Foundation Establishment stage, right?
They had never heard that someone had reached the Foundation Establishment stage after the previous era. Even they were already considered as top-notch Shamans after reaching the Qi Refining stage.
Let alone, Jiang Xiu was still so young.
Qin Weiping could only squeeze out a few words after a while, "It's done with just that?"
Classmates, Director Qin's heart had already crumbled into pieces at this moment.
The matter was settled in just a minute.
I have to give away 70% of my shares to him just like that?
Jiang Xiu returned back, "It's settled. The site can resume construction tomorrow…" Saying this, he ignored Qin Weiping and walked out.
"Mr. Jiang, please let me deliver you!"
Tang Wenchong drove Jiang Xiu back to school. As Jiang Xiu got down, Tang Wenchong handed over a bank card to him, "Mr. Jiang, here's your remuneration!"
Jiang Xiu naturally wouldn't act polite at this point as he earned it. Although he obtained 70% of Myriad Base's shares, the dividend can only be received after making a profit. This put him in a desperate situation.
"See you later, Mr. Jiang!"
It was already 11:30 PM by the time Jiang Xiu had returned to the dorm. None of the dormmates were in the rooms as they had escaped outside to play online games. He was just about to cultivate when his cell phone started ringing. He took a look at the screen and noticed over 10 missed calls from his mother, so he hurried to pick it up.
"Hello, Mother!"
"Little Xiu, why didn't you pick up the phone?"
"I was studying and didn't take the phone with me." Jiang Xiu made up a random reason, "Mother, why did you call me so late in the night?"
"Little Xiu, did you have a quarrel with Susu?"
