《Dragon Subduing Nine Seals》 is divided into three levels: Condensing Qi Realm, Gathering Core Realm, and Foundation Establishment Realm!
Jiang Wang had heard his father say that warriors in the Condensing Qi Realm could condense Spiritual Qi, while those in the Gathering Core Realm would have a Golden Core born within their Dantian, enabling them to fly through the air.
As for Foundation Establishment Realm warriors, they could unleash a mysterious martial technique called "Sword Qi," containing earth-shattering power.
And that martial technique was called – 《Dragon Subduing Swordplay》!
《Dragon Subduing Swordplay》 was an unparalleled martial art created by his father, Jiang Qianlong, at the cost of his entire life's effort.
Although Jiang Wang had never seen 《Dragon Subduing Swordplay》, judging from his father's description, its power was absolutely terrifying, capable of slaying Martial Sect experts and slaughtering True Essence Realm warriors like chickens and dogs.
However, Jiang Wang's aptitude was mediocre; even after spending twenty years, he had only cultivated to the peak of the Acquired Realm, never even touching the Gathering Core Realm.
"Could it be that the Frost Dragon claw I saw just now was the martial technique of that 《Dragon Subduing Swordplay》?" Jiang Wang wondered in his heart.
Jiang Wang's mood was somewhat complicated; it was the only martial art he had successfully cultivated, and he had achieved considerable success, which was admirable.
But he never expected that this powerful martial art was actually incomplete.
However, despite being incomplete, 《Dragon Subduing Swordplay》 was still terrifying; otherwise, it would not be worthy of being called a top-tier technique.
Jiang Wang believed that if he cultivated 《Dragon Subduing Swordplay》, he would not be afraid even if he encountered a True Essence Realm warrior.
Of course, Jiang Wang's main concern now was how to help the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python improve its strength.
According to records, once the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python stepped into the realm of a Rank Six demon beast, its strength would definitely skyrocket.
If it could evolve to Rank Seven or Rank Eight, it might even have the opportunity to cross the shackles and advance to a Royal-level demon beast!
And within the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python's bloodline inheritance, there was another treasure, which was the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Core.
That was the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python's core of origin, invaluable!
Once that core of origin was obtained, it would be able to open up a fifth martial meridian.
And Jiang Wang's goal was that Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python's core of origin.
Jiang Wang had a plan in mind; he intended to use the Frost Dragon bloodline in 《Dragon Subduing Nine Seals》 to transform the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python's potential.
Jiang Wang was well aware that his potential was limited, and it was impossible to cultivate to the True Essence Realm.
Therefore, he placed his hopes on the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python.
Chapter 1382: Giant Python.
The current Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python was already a Rank Six demon beast, and it also possessed the Frost Dragon bloodline!
However, Jiang Wang did not have the confidence to awaken it now!
"Roar!" Suddenly, the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python in front roared, its whole body emitting a sharp aura, causing the surrounding air to boil violently.
Then, the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python turned its head and swam towards a sturdy and upright ancient tree.
"Whoosh!" Jiang Wang's figure was like a ghost, instantly landing on that sturdy ancient tree.
Beneath that sturdy ancient tree was a cave, appearing dark and damp.
Jiang Wang followed the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python into the cave and immediately saw that there lay a group of human corpses, with heavy casualties.
"Hiss!" The Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python spat out its scarlet tongue, devouring those dead human corpses.
Before long, this cave was empty, leaving only the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python and Jiang Wang.
The Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python's body was very large, occupying a vast area, and ordinary beasts could not accommodate its body at all.
However, the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python seemed to like this spacious feeling.
"The Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python's appetite seems to have weakened; it seems that it is recovering its strength and should be able to wake up soon," Jiang Wang murmured, his face slightly solemn.
The Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python was a Rank Six demon beast, with extremely strong combat power.
If its intelligence was not too low, Jiang Wang would have been defeated long ago by bloodline suppression alone.
"Roar!" The Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python roared to the sky, its voice deafening, shaking the surroundings, as if it could tear the air.
Jiang Wang stood aside, silently watching the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python, and thought to himself: "The Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python is recovering its strength. It shouldn't launch an attack in a short time. I'll heal my injuries first!"
Jiang Wang took out two bottles of healing potions and drank them, then closed his eyes, tensing his whole body and running his cultivation technique.
After a while, Jiang Wang slowly opened his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he sighed softly, "It's been a long time since I've felt so comfortable!"
At this moment, his injuries were completely healed, and the stamina consumed in his body was also completely replenished.
"Roar!" The Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python's roar resounded through the clouds again.
This time, the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python did not return to the lake, but instead swiftly swept towards the east, disappearing into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye.
"This guy..." Jiang Wang shook his head, somewhat helpless.
This Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python is really impatient!
"Huff!"
A gust of wind blew past, and Jiang Wang's entire body floated up, leaving the ground and drifting into the high sky.
"Rumble!" Beneath Jiang Wang's feet, the earth trembled, trees collapsed, and smoke billowed.
Jiang Wang looked down at the forest below and murmured, "I am only one step away from the Acquired Realm, but I have been unable to break through for a long time."
"According to my estimation, as long as I hunt another batch of Rank Five demon beasts, perhaps, I can smoothly step into the Acquired Realm!" Jiang Wang took a deep breath, his eyes becoming a little more firm.
Jiang Wang knew that his potential was ultimately limited, and he was already very satisfied to have reached this step.
However, he yearned for greater strength and therefore wanted to become even more powerful!
"First find a quiet area and arrange the array diagram..." Jiang Wang restrained his aura and quietly fled away.
...
At the same time, on a towering mountain range, many black figures were entrenched.
"Leader, Jiang Wang ran into the forest. What should we do now?" One of the men in black respectfully asked.
"No need to worry, that little bastard can't escape," the black-robed old man grinned and sneered, "Since that's the case, let Jiang Wang investigate for us. I want to see what that beast is doing!"
"Well, although Jiang Wang is a waste, he still has the late stage of the Acquired Realm cultivation. In the jungle, he is like a master," a gray-clothed man nodded in agreement.
After the words fell, everyone stopped talking and continued to ponder.
...
"Whirr..." After entering the dense forest, Jiang Wang cut down towering ancient trees along the way, and then arranged them into an array diagram.
After about a stick of incense, Jiang Wang arranged the array diagram properly and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally done. It's worth risking my life to come to this wilderness to find spirit herbs!"
"Roar!"
"Awoo!"
"Chirp!"
Suddenly, all kinds of terrifying screams came from the distant forest.
Jiang Wang raised his eyes and looked over, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Damn, it's the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python!" Jiang Wang's pupils shrank fiercely, and a strong look of horror appeared on his face.
The Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python's speed was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it rushed out hundreds of meters and rushed towards Jiang Wang, and everything it passed was razed to the ground, and rubble rolled.
That kind of power was simply frightening.
"No, I have to retreat immediately!" Jiang Wang's forehead was sweating, and he immediately prepared to retreat, but as soon as he moved, the hair on his back suddenly stood on end.
"Whoosh!" The Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python's giant tail swept across the void, bringing with it a piercing sound of breaking wind, and lashed down towards Jiang Wang at lightning speed.
"Not good!" Jiang Wang was horrified. He wanted to dodge, but found that his whole body was stiff, as if he was frozen, and he couldn't even move his fingers, so he could only let the giant tail smash down.
Thud!
In an instant, Jiang Wang was slammed away and smashed on a rock not far away, spraying blood.
Before Jiang Wang could get up, the giant tail swept over again, like a giant whip, and wrapped Jiang Wang's body up.
Jiang Wang struggled with all his strength, but was still unable to escape the python's restraint.
"Pfft!" The Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python opened its mouth and bit, and its sharp teeth tore Jiang Wang's arm, and bright red blood gurgled out.
"Ah..." The pain made Jiang Wang scream and convulse all over.
Not far away, the group of men in black were stunned. They had never seen such a scene.
This Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python actually eats people?
Moreover, it's still an ant-like existence like Jiang Wang?
This is really unbelievable!
Jiang Wang endured the pain and twisted his neck with difficulty, looking towards the group of men in black, and said, "Save me!"
While speaking, Jiang Wang glanced at the abdomen of the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python, and his eyes suddenly widened, and he said in shock: "Look, the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python's belly is actually bulging?"
Hearing Jiang Wang's voice, the men in black looked over.
Sure enough, there was a fist-sized bulge on the abdomen of the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python, and a cloud of white mist could be vaguely seen lingering around it.
This Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python is actually going to give birth!
"Roar!"
"Boom!"
The Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python roared frantically, its abdomen suddenly swelled up, and then exploded with a bang, turning into a sky full of blood.
In an instant, the bloody smell of the Ink Jade Ice Crystal Python filled the air, attracting some powerful demon beasts around to stir.
Chapter 1383: Questioning
"Where's the leader?" A man in black frowned and asked.
They found that Jiang Wang was missing and couldn't help but panic.
