Chapter 324: Chapter 217: Kong Nian’s Return to the Pinnacle, Jiang Yuan’s Confidence (Extra 15/53 for Silver Alliance)
A moment later.

Jiang Yuan felt a sudden surge of primordial spirit energy emanating from Kong Nian.

The power of the primordial spirit was invisible, but as this force spread out,

everyone it touched quickly retreated, some even collapsing to the ground, their minds blank for a moment.

Upon sensing this power, Jiang Yuan’s face lit up in delight.

He did it!

Kong Nian had successfully condensed his primordial spirit!

This was within his expectations, but it also filled Jiang Yuan with boundless joy.

If Kong Nian could succeed in this breakthrough and achieve the Dharma-nature great cultivation before Wang Xiao’s arrival,

defending against him would surely be much easier.

What Jiang Yuan worried about the most right now was Wang Xiao teaming up with a Dharma-nature cultivator from the Imperial Family.

If it was just one, he could deal with it with his everything.

But if there are two, he had no confidence to take them on.

As for using the dharma decree given by the Saint on a Dharma-nature cultivator, that would be a wasteful overkill.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Jiang Yuan wouldn’t choose such an action.

Kong Nian slowly opened his eyes.

His previously dull eyes were now shining brightly.

His black hair naturally fell at his back, his aura now intense, captivating everyone’s attention.

Seeing Jiang Yuan, a slow smile came to his face: “Young friend, thank you!”

He slowly got up, looking upright and muscular.

Compared to his previous appearance, he had suddenly grown by twenty or thirty centimeters, his appearance now that of a roughly forty-year-old man.

At this moment, Kong Nian felt incredibly in peak condition, his body continuously regaining strength, as the boundless vitality still replenished his physical losses.

The sense of decline had completely disappeared.

He closed his eyes again, quietly feeling the changes in his body.

After several breaths, he opened his eyes again.

“Senior, how do you feel?” Jiang Yuan asked with a light smile.

“Great! Very great!” Kong Nian’s face was radiant with joy.

“The feeling of returning to the peak is wonderful! No wonder people in the world are longing for immortality!” Kong Nian leisurely sighed.

After experiencing the feeling of aging and decline, at this moment, he treasured his new body full of vitality.

That kind of feeling of nearing death, he never wanted to experience that again.

The numerous elders and chiefs in the distance, were filled with extreme envy after seeing Kong Nian’s transformation.

Nie Xuan was somewhat envious: “Had I known Jian Yuan was such a freak, I would have heavily invested in him when he joined the sect!”

The chief of Wushan Mountain glared at him: “If you could have known this, you wouldn’t be sitting here.”

“Indeed! That’s fate!” Nie Xuan sighed.

On the other hand, Kong Nian said to Jiang Yuan: “Little friend, come with me!”

“Alright!” Jiang Yuan nodded.

Then he said to Shu Xiaoxiao: “Wait for me at home!”

“Alright, Young Master!”

The next moment, the two of them vanished from the spot instantly.

Nie Xuan glanced in the direction where the two disappeared, and then said to the others: “Continue the competition!”

Very soon, with the hosting of several chiefs, the competition among the Seven Peaks continued.

Jiang Yuan and Kong Nian landed on Heaven Lead Peak a few moments later.

“Not bad, your speed was able to keep up with mine!” Kong Nian said, somewhat shocked.

“Sit down!” Kong Nian gestured.

The two of them then slowly took their seats.

“I owe you a lot for this time, little friend!” said Kong Nian, bowing to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said: “Senior shouldn’t be so formal like this. Without your help and protection I wouldn’t have been able to get this far so smoothly.”

“How far have you progressed in the Divine Bridge Realm?”

“Seventh level!”

“Seventh level?” Kong Nian’s eyes widened.

Jiang Yuan nodded, his aura suddenly burst out, and then instantly retracted.

Just that instant of explosion was enough for Kong Nian to convincingly confirm that it was indeed the aura of the seventh level of the Divine Bridge Realm.

He pondered for a few moments, calming his emotions.

Only then did he slowly open his mouth: “I had guessed that you had broken through to the Divine Bridge Realm during your trip to the Pearl Cave, but I didn’t expect you to get this far!”

“The seventh level of the Divine Bridge Realm, you are a freak!” Kong Nian exclaimed.

Jiang Yuan just smiled, didn’t continue the conversation, but changed the topic.

“Senior, do you now have confidence to advance to the Dharma Realm?”

“I do!”

Kong Nian nodded, “In two to three days, the longevity fruit’s effects will be fully operational, and by then, I will truly possess the vitality of a hundred-year lifespan.”

“That will be the time for me to break through to the Dharma-nature realm, and I am completely confident!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan’s face lit up with joy.

He bowed his hand and said, “Senior, I may have a Dharma-nature cultivator coming soon, and I need you to hold one for me.”

“A Dharma-nature cultivator?” Kong Nian was somewhat surprised.

Then he asked, “Did you kill Wang Yu in the Pearl Cave? Or Song Que? Or Zhou Qiu?”

Jiang Yuan’s expression was slightly awkward, “Senior understands me well!”

“Of course. Otherwise, how could you suddenly offend a Dharma-nature cultivator. Coming back from the Pearl Cave, there’s only this possibility!” Kong Nian said with a light smile.

Then he asked, “Which family’s disciple did you kill to attract such hatred?”

“All of them!”

“All… All of them?” Kong Nian’s eyes widened, he was momentarily lost for words!

“Hmm!” Jiang Yuan smiled awkwardly, “I also killed four transformed demons from the East Sea Demon Tribe!”

Kong Nian:

The two stared at each other.

After a long time, Kong Nian swallowed, his voice somewhat hoarse: “They won’t team up to confront us in the future, right? There’re so many of them, I can’t handle it! The longevity fruit you gave me is a hot potato indeed!”
