Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration-Chapter 263: Sacrifice to Myself?

If he could let his clone make a sacrifice to his main body from the Asura World, what would happen?

There was no rule that the sacrificial rituals used in the Asura World to bewitch and communicate with the continent of the Nine Provinces could only allow humans to make sacrifices to the Asuras.

According to the memories the clone had obtained from the stone, the requirements of this ritual were not as strict as he had imagined.

The barrier between the two worlds did not seem to be very thick.

As long as he used the right method, he could build special structures like altars, blood pools, or statues in the two worlds.

With the same mark, if he guided both sides to establish a connection, the physical passageway would only consume a Nascent Soul cultivator every fifteen minutes.

Alright, this expenditure of a Nascent Soul cultivator could not be considered small.

However, the actual maintenance of the passageway could be provided unilaterally by the blood pool in the Asura World. After all, they were the ones who really wanted to open the passage, so they naturally could not set too high a difficulty to scare away the traitors on the other side.

Generally speaking, in the Blood Fighting Arena, there would be monsters with spiritual racial talent like the Evil Eye arranged all year round to send their consciousness into the continent of the Nine Provinces through the altar and lure any living beings of the Nine Provinces they encountered.

After successfully bewitching the creatures of the Nine Provinces, they would give some benefits and continuously evoke the desire in the other party.

Only until they tricked the creatures of the continent of the Nine Provinces to consume the blood of madness and had nowhere to retreat would they reveal their true intentions and make them sacrifice everything for the Asura World's invasion.

This was something resembling a love scam where the perpetrator would build a relationship with the victim over extended periods of time to earn trust.

The ultimate goal of this group of Asuras was to conquer an entire world. Therefore, their investment in the early stages could be said to be very generous.

Back then, the Black Lotus Divine Sect had developed into a colossus that could only be exterminated by the combined efforts of Shu Mountain and the Scripture Storage Valley.

Among them, there was definitely no lack of support from the monsters of the Asura World.

It was even to the extent that for the sake of quickly establishing a spatial rift that could allow the army of monsters to pass through, they had even sent over the demonic lotus that was at least Earth-rank and a three-headed six-armed Asura Demon General.

In the end, relying on the demonic lotus and the others to open the door to the two realms, they brought serious problems to the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region.

However, it could be seen that there were actually many good things in the Asura World. It was just that he could not come into contact with them as the Fallen Blood Yaksha.

However, if he could make the Great Asura Vemacitrin believe that they had a chance to attack the Nine Provinces Continent…

Would they give Jiang Li a demonic lotus as well?

It was not as if he had not seen the power of that demonic lotus before. Even Soul Formation cultivators would be blinded by the lotus. There was also the powerful might of the black lotus domain that could corrode lifespan and tear space apart.

For such a good thing, even if it was a demonic creature, Jiang Li could give it the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra's parallel mind. He could guarantee that it would be like the Nine Nether clone and abandon evil to pursue justice.

At the very least, they could give him two lotus seeds or a lotus root.

The two Buddhist and demonic lotus seeds had already sprouted in Jiang Li's coffin. They were absorbing the spiritual qi in the coffin at an astonishing speed and growing slowly.

Not to mention anything else, just from the amount of spiritual qi they absorbed, one could tell that what grew in the end would definitely not be ordinary.

Of course, dealing with the ambitious Great Asura was undoubtedly dangerous.

That was unless, on the other side of the connection, there was also one of their own. If he worked together to send information on both sides, he could make sacrifices to himself.

If he could still fail like this, then he might as well retire.

Jiang Li carefully studied the memory and considered every step of its process. In theory, his idea should be possible.

As long as the corresponding altar was built, both sides could communicate through the blood sacrifice.

It could be done in two directions. Moreover, every blood sacrifice was actually meant to strengthen the passage between the two sides.

However, if Jiang Li established an altar normally and communicated with the blood pool in the Blood Fighting Arena, during the relationship establishment of the blood sacrifice ritual, he would be at a disadvantage and would easily lose the initiative.

Then, the same thing would happen again. After the black demonic lotus opened the spatial crack, it could not be closed.

That was because the authority in the Nine Provinces was lower and could not unilaterally close the passage.

Jiang Li could not accept such a situation.

Therefore, for safety's sake, he had to reverse the situation and create a statue for himself on the other side.

After that, he would get the Fallen Blood Yaksha clone to make a sacrifice to his main body through the altar in the Blood Fighting Arena.

In this way, Jiang Li would be able to obtain the highest authority and could end the transaction at any time.

Before doing that, if he wanted to accept the sacrifice, he needed a statue as a medium first.

He looked at the ancient Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue in front of him.

This thing that had been worshiped by mortals for tens of thousands of years, the power of faith inside was the best material to create a statue.

However, after accepting the sacrifice of the Asura, this Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue would probably become a fallen statue.

Jiang Li took out two more items.

One was the Nine Nether Branch Demon Statue obtained from the underwater graveyard.

The second was the powerful Asura corpse he had obtained from the ruins of the Black Lotus Divine Sect.

The material of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue was still a little lacking. If he used these two things to repair and strengthen it, he should be able to build a qualified statue that could ensure a safe transaction.

...

After an unknown period of time, a pounding sound suddenly sounded above his head, pulling Jiang Li out from his intense training.

Someone was knocking on his coffin lid.

The coffin lid slid open, and his clothes were as neat as new due to the enhancement of various statuses. However, Jiang Li could not help but feel a little tired under the high-intensity work.

In the secret room, a black clothed and masked figure was kneeling before the coffin with one knee on the ground. His head was lowered to the ground, and he only dared to look at Jiang Li's feet with an extremely respectful attitude.

"Oh, it's you, Broken Tooth. Has the situation in Ink Sect changed?"

Kneeling in front of Jiang Li was the genius disciple of the Golden Tooth Sect who had willingly offered his loyalty to him for revenge.

As a genius who could be ranked in the top hundred of the Qi Refinement realm in the Great Mountain Region during Jiang Li's batch, he had excellent qualities in all aspects.

Coupled with the Golden Tooth Saber left behind by the Sect Master, he was considered an elite among the disciples of the same generation even in large sects.

As for Alliance Leader Jiang Li, he had always been a good leader who treasured talents.

After helping the other party deal with the current Sect Master of the Golden Tooth Sect, Zhang Sanhong, and his lackeys, he was given a Nine Nether Earth Fruit and a wooden mask.

After consuming the Nine Nether Earth Fruit, his strength increased greatly. He abandoned his original name and joined the Rock Army with the code name Broken Tooth, becoming a guard under Jiang Li.

"Alliance Leader, the Iron Wolf Sect suddenly gathered a large number of people and sent out 5,000 elite Iron Wolf Cavalry Cultivators to search the Endless Mountain Range."

"They've already locked onto the general area of the Ink Sect headquarters, Thousand Sieve City. It should be only a matter of time before they find the exact location."

The more than 600,000 battle merits of the Ink Sect were an important part of whether the Great Mountain Alliance could join the Divine Judgment Hall in a period of time.

Although this method seemed like they were taking advantage of the situation, in the cultivation world, the correct way to put it was that the cultivators of the Ink Sect shared an affinity with them!

"Did they ask us for help?"

Some time ago, at the Myriad Sun Building's auction, Jiang Li had displayed his value and left behind a communication talisman. He had been waiting for this moment.

Jiang Li did not believe that they could still remain calm when the location of the mountain gate was about to be exposed.

"Alliance Leader, they have already used the spirit talisman three days ago and requested to exchange for the Demon Awakening Technique. They can exchange for it using ten Golden Core puppets."

"However, their attitude remained cautious. They did not provide a specific location. Your Wood Demon Puppet Bird was also sealed after leaving the Myriad Sun Building."

"According to your instructions, we told them that you were in seclusion and did not give them an actual answer. We only asked them to wait for a reply."

Jiang Li shook his head. These people from Ink Sect were really dreaming.

Although the Demon Awakening Technique was not very refined, it was still a method from ancient times. It was very practical.

This was the spell technique produced by demons. It was usually very simple to learn. From the Golden Immortal realm demons tens of thousands of years ago to the Qi Refinement realm, they could learn and use it.

Jiang Li could use it so extravagantly because he relied on the endless high-grade spiritual qi in his body.

What was the use of teaching them the method?

Moreover, who were they looking down on with just ten Golden Core puppets?

"Tell them that the price of awakening a puppet is a puppet of the same level."

"I'll make a trip to the Endless Mountain Range in three days. Ask them to consider this carefully. Do they want to be enslaved by others or join us as allies?"

"In addition, send a hundred scouts to infiltrate the Endless Mountain Range and continue to pay attention to the movements of the Iron Wolf Sect. If anything happens, report to me at any time."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he put away the coffin and left the underground secret room.

"Yes!"

Broken Tooth acknowledged in a low voice and disappeared from the spot.

Although this Rock Army announced to the outside world that they did not accept any personal orders and only listened to the decisions made by the Great Mountain Council,

in the Rock Army Division where everyone wore masks, no one knew each other.

The elites of the various large sects who had just joined the Rock Army were all alone in terms of individual strength. They could not form factions together.

However, in this Rock Army, more than half of the members had absolute loyalty to Jiang Li.

Relying on this overwhelming number advantage, Jiang Li's puppet cultivators easily controlled more than 90% of the high positions in the division.

Through this, it was certain that Jiang Li would silently control this force.

The actions and internal affairs of the Rock Army were not controlled by others, so it was even harder for anyone to find out the truth.

Relying on this army, Jiang Li finally grasped a considerable force within the Great Mountain Alliance.

After arriving at the Great Mountain Conference Hall, they discussed daily matters.

Having reached a long-term agreement with the Medicine King Pavilion, the second batch of manpower and supplies from the Great Mountain Region had arrived.

The first transaction went very smoothly. They also successfully took over a few shops in Green Mountain Residence and began to sell high-grade spiritual materials in an orderly manner.

There were many things that needed to be handled.

Jiang Li had never done such chores, so this kind of thing could only be done by them.

When they saw Jiang Li come out of seclusion, they also quieted down to show their respect.

After all, Jiang Li's speed of improvement was truly too fast. No one in the entire Great Mountain doubted that he could reach the Nascent Soul realm. Coupled with his status as the Alliance Leader, why wouldn't they be friendly?

"Alliance Leader Jiang's cultivation has broken through again. Congratulations!"

An elder who had sharp eyes forcefully saw through Jiang Li's aura that was several times that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator and found his actual cultivation level.

The others also congratulated him repeatedly.

Jiang Li was stunned himself. He sensed his Nine Nether Dao Scripture and discovered that his cultivation had unknowingly broken through to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm.

Previously, because he had eaten two Foundation Establishment realm Nine Nether Earth Fruits and more than 150 bottles of medicinal pills from the Hundred Tempering Mountain, his cultivation level had soared rapidly.

On the contrary, his cultivation level improved even faster than when he was in the Qi Refinement realm. This time, he went into seclusion to create his own statue, but he accidentally broke through to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm.

"I was just lucky. My cultivation is shallow and not worth mentioning. Everyone, you praise me too much."

Jiang Li's humble words made the few Golden Core elders present feel uncomfortable. Just that shallow cultivation could crush them together.

"Elders, you should have heard about the incident in the Endless Mountain Range, right? I plan to go there."

Jiang Li interrupted the meaningless flattery. He was here to rope people in. In a war of that level, at least two or three Soul Formation cultivators had to stand by his side to feel safe.

"Alliance Leader Jiang, are we really going to snatch it from the Iron Wolf Sect?"

"If it's just dealing with the Iron Wolf Sect, our Great Mountain Alliance naturally has no problem. However, there might be other forces behind the Iron Wolf Sect."

An elder in charge of intelligence hesitated.

"Tell me about it."

Hearing that, the other party quickly found an intelligence report and pushed it before him.

"Iron Wolf, Bronze Tiger, Silver Bear, and Golden Lion, these four sects are all from the Myriad Beast Plains. Their original relationship can be said to be tight-knit."

"However, 30 years ago, the other three abandoned the Iron Wolf Sect and joined forces. After gathering a million battle credits, they joined the Divine Judgment Hall."

"However, the relationship between the four sects is still very close."

"There's news that the Iron Wolf Sect's operation this time is supported by the other three sects."

"Should we take their actions into account?"

When he heard this, Jiang Li was slightly helpless. These sects had been operating for a long time, and it was indeed impossible to avoid having a few hardcore allies.

However, good things would always be coveted by others. Could it be that they would cower when they saw that their opponent was not to be trifled with? If that happened, there would be no need to talk about development. It was likely that the next target would be the Great Mountain Alliance.

"If we want to gain a foothold in the cultivation world of the Eastern Region, we will definitely infringe upon the interests of some people. We still have to compete!"

"Who's going with me?"

In the end, they agreed to Jiang Li's suggestion.

After all, in front was the Iron Wolf Sect that was still within their ability, but behind them was the Myriad Slaughter Sect.

Compared to waiting for death, it was more reliable to find a way forward to strengthen themselves.

Three days later, in the Endless Mountain Range.

Jiang Li brought nine powerful elders of the Great Mountain Alliance here.

The verdant mountains were a little nostalgic, but the terrain here was much gentler than the Great Mountain Region.
