Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Chapter 331: Chapter 329: Unyielding to the Saint’s Might

This was the might of a Saint!

Feeling the immense pressure descending from the sky, the crowd could barely breathe. Some even nearly fell to their knees.

And this wasn’t even directed at them; it was merely the aura a Saint radiated unintentionally.

Now, all of that Saintly Might was focused on a single person... the young man in the Grandmaster Realm!

Saintly Might, like the heavens themselves, suppressed the Ten Thousand Spirits!

The crowd could see Jiang Jichen’s face turn deathly pale, blood trickling from his mouth as his body trembled, as if he were fighting against the formless pressure descending from the sky.

It was common knowledge that a Saint was invincible!

Especially when the wrath of a Saint was aimed at a single person, the only option was to kneel and submit. Who would dare to resist?

But at this moment, everyone could see that the young Grandmaster was resisting the Saint’s might!

Blood was streaming from his mouth, eyes, nose, and ears. Tiny cracks appeared all over his body, seeping fine lines of blood.

Could the might of a Saint truly be so powerful?

One had to remember how formidable Jiang Jichen’s physical body was, yet now, facing a mere wisp of Saintly Might, it was on the verge of shattering.

But even so, Jiang Jichen remained unyielding, standing tall and proud.

His Cultivation might be weak, as insignificant as a mortal ant in the eyes of a Saint!

But his Martial Dao Will was strong, unyielding and indestructible...

The pressure from the sky was like mountains weighing down on him. If Jiang Jichen just bent his waist slightly, hunched his back, or lowered his head, he would not have to bear such immense pressure.

But he... did not!

His body may be small, but it should stand with the presence to prop up the heavens and the earth!

So, even as blood streamed from his eyes, Jiang Jichen kept his back straight and his head held high, staring at the figure slowly descending from mid-air.

It was an old man in a cyan robe, with a three-patterned golden cauldron embroidered on his chest. He was of medium height with a gaunt face, and his hair was meticulously combed and coiled with a purple-patterned hairpin. His gaze was sharp as lightning and cold as ice, both piercing and frigid, fixed coldly upon Jiang Jichen.

The old man’s face was expressionless, but inwardly he was utterly shocked!

’I only released a wisp of Saintly Might,’ he thought, ’but it was focused on a single person. Even a Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.’

Therefore, he had expected the young Grandmaster to be sent flying, vomiting blood and collapsing to the ground, severely injured by that wisp of his Saintly Might.

But nothing had gone as he’d imagined, and it was a great loss of face for him!

So, as he drifted down, he spat out two words: "Kneel down!"

The Saintly Might intensified, and the pressure on Jiang Jichen skyrocketed.

His legs had sunk deep into the bluestone ground, already past his ankles.

The crowd could even hear the clear sound of his bones grinding against each other—a sign that his skeleton was about to shatter at any moment.

Seeing this, everyone felt their teeth ache!

They didn’t understand why the young Grandmaster was so unyielding.

What kind of conviction was supporting him?

In their hearts, without even realizing it, a sense of... reverence for the young Grandmaster had begun to grow!

Qingya stood not far away, watching that figure. Suddenly, she felt it overlap with a figure in her heart.

She thought they looked very similar, but she didn’t believe it could be him!

She felt a pang of guilt, as she was the cause of this entire incident.

But what could she do in the face of a Saint’s might?

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were locked on the young man.

To kneel, or not to kneel?

Kneel and live, or refuse and die. How would he choose?

But this was a question that needed no answer, for the young man was now fearlessly staring at Lei Yang’s master... Tian Chuan Grandmaster!

"Who the hell do you think you are? Why should I kneel to you? Not even the heavens and the earth have made me kneel. Are you greater than the heavens? Ridiculous!"

Jiang Jichen spoke, his voice full of arrogance, even as he spat out bloody foam.

His voice was powerful and resounding, echoing between heaven and earth. It made one’s blood boil, and it made one... want to cry!

Tian Chuan’s expression had turned exceptionally ugly. He never expected that even under such pressure, he still couldn’t make this young man kneel.

This young man, so insignificant in his eyes, had caused him to lose all face.

Ever since he had achieved the Little Saint Position, no one had ever dared to be so reckless as to defy his will.

This boy of the Grandmaster Realm, as insignificant as a mortal ant, had actually forced him to increase his Saintly Might twice.

’Damn him!’

Tian Chuan was enraged. His Saintly Might surged forth like a tsunami, rushing toward Jiang Jichen.

"You still refuse to kneel!"

Tian Chuan roared again. The sound shook the eight directions, the very clouds changed color, and everyone present was silenced like cicadas in winter.

’Do I have to reveal my full Cultivation, unseal my Seven-Colored Spiritual Vein, and bring out the Ancient Medicine Cauldron, the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array, and a Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment? Or even... wake up Grandma Turtle!’

In an instant, Jiang Jichen ran through the trump cards he had at his disposal.

If the situation truly became desperate and his life was in danger, Jiang Jichen would have no choice but to use these methods, even if it meant exposing them.

At that moment, a wave of Saintly Might, countless times more immense than before, was crashing down on him.

If he didn’t react, he would be crushed into a mist of blood by this terrifyingly vast Saintly Might.

Without any more hesitation, Jiang Jichen decided to wake Grandma Turtle immediately!

But just then, Jiang Jichen suddenly felt the Cyan Nether Wood Token in his robes begin to emit wisps of a mysterious aura, which invisibly spread throughout his body.

Then, when Tian Chuan’s immense Saintly Might descended upon him, that mysterious aura actually repelled it, protecting Jiang Jichen.

BUZZ!

Moreover, as the Saintly Might fell in ever-increasing, ever-strengthening waves, the Cyan Nether Wood Token seemed to sense it. It began to tremble, then flew out from Jiang Jichen’s robes to float above his head. It cast down rays of cyan-nether light that formed a cyan light screen, enveloping him completely.

’What’s going on?’

Jiang Jichen himself was a bit stunned.

But he knew it was the cyan-nether light from the Cyan Nether Wood Token that was protecting him.

Upon the cyan-nether light screen, phantom images of herbs and Pill Cauldrons appeared, and secret patterns flowed across its surface. The phenomenon was incredibly profound!

’This... this wooden token that perverted Elder Yao gave me is way too extraordinary, isn’t it?’

Jiang Jichen was shocked speechless!

He recalled how casually Elder Yao had tossed it to him, and how carelessly he himself had put it away...

’Good thing I didn’t lose it!’

Jiang Jichen let out a sigh of relief. Then, paying no mind to his injuries, he looked down on Tian Chuan with disdain and laughed arrogantly. "You think an old fossil like you can make me, Lingchen of the Seven Profound Sect, kneel? You’re far from worthy! Hmph, I don’t even need to become a Saint. If I were above the Spirit Infant Realm, I could slaughter you like a dog!"

The scene before them had completely stunned everyone present, including Tian Chuan.

Their gazes weren’t on Jiang Jichen, but on the Cyan Nether Wood Token above his head. They all stared in terror, their faces filled with disbelief.

Even as Jiang Jichen’s incredibly arrogant words echoed through the silent space, they paid them no heed, their eyes locked on that Cyan Nether Wood Token!

"The Cyan Nether Token... the Young Pavilion Master!"

A teacher muttered to himself, his face a mask of utter confusion.

And upon hearing these words, everyone in the crowd shuddered violently...
