Chapter 426: Golden Body Unbreakable, Crushing Weapons Barehanded!

February 27, 2025

Outside the Bai Family Residence.

The sky was overcast, and a fine drizzle obscured the surroundings.

Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu watched as Ye Zhengqi slowly departed.

At this moment, Ye Zhengqi was not holding an umbrella.

However, Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu could clearly see that wherever Ye Zhengqi passed, the misty drizzle seemed to freeze in mid-air as if time had paused.

The curtain of rain in front of Ye Zhengqi even expanded outward as he approached.

Moments later, Ye Zhengqi disappeared into the rain curtain.

"Is this the state of Union with Heaven?" Jiang Ning murmured.

Bai Luoyu nodded and said, "Once one enters the realm of Zong Shi, they become one with the divine. And that was over twenty years ago!"

Twenty years ago! Jiang Ning's eyes narrowed at these words.

Becoming one with the divine upon entering the realm of Zong Shi.

With such talent, and after more than twenty years of cultivation,

It was hard to fathom his current strength.

Just then, Bai Luoyu turned to Jiang Ning and said with a bow,

"Congratulations, Brother Jiang! Once Ye Zhengqi returns, we will hold the Patrol Feast to officially appoint you as the new Patrol Commissioner, and announce it to the officials, merchants, and wealthy gentry. You will truly become the Patrol Commissioner of the county!"

"I will have to trouble you with this matter, Brother Bai," Jiang Ning replied.

"It's simple!" Bai Luoyu smiled. "I believe Ye Zhengqi has already informed Lord Zhao. With his arrangements, the preparations should be ready in a few days!"

"There's only one thing you need to consider now, Brother Jiang. After you take office, when you establish your own Patrol Commissioner's office, who will you recruit as your team?"

"I had some capable people under me when I was the Commander in Luoshui County. I'll bring them here to serve as my temporary team!" Jiang Ning said.

"That's a good idea!" Bai Luoyu nodded.

Then he continued, "However, I believe some people will recommend themselves for your team during the Patrol Feast. You can also consider recruiting them."

"After all, without strong subordinates, it's difficult to shoulder great responsibilities. You'll have to handle everything personally, which can be exhausting!"

Jiang Ning nodded, understanding Bai Luoyu's intention.

After becoming the county's Patrol Commissioner,

He would be qualified to establish his own office within the county, receiving the salary of a Patrol Commissioner but operating independently from the Patrol Commissioner's office.

He would also have his own team,

Who would follow his orders without question.

This was one of the reasons why the position of Patrol Commissioner was so prestigious.

True power lay in managing people, which was real authority.

However, after assuming the role of Patrol Commissioner, occasional tasks would be assigned from above.

Just like the task Bai Luoyu had received earlier—to investigate and resolve the root cause of the abnormal celestial phenomenon in Dongling County.

Later, Bai Luoyu had no leads, and it was only after discovering his own Divine Eye that he made the request.

With his help, they successfully eliminated the demonic cultists entrenched in Sanyuan Taoist Temple.

Thinking of this,

Jiang Ning suddenly remembered that he still had a merit yet to be rewarded.

But considering Bai Luoyu's character, he couldn't help but smile inwardly.

Given Bai Luoyu's nature, it was impossible for him to neglect such an issue.

Moreover, Jiang Ning was about to officially assume the role of Patrol Commissioner and establish his own office.

Bai Luoyu was also a very smart person.

Subsequently, Jiang Ning focused his mind and voiced the question that had been on his mind.

"Brother Bai, Ye Zhengqi just mentioned that he's going to Luoshui Lake and will be away for a few days. Why is he going there?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoyu raised his hand, and a white light flashed.

A stack of documents appeared in his hand.

"You'll understand once you look at these, Brother Jiang!"

Intrigued, Jiang Ning took the documents from Bai Luoyu.

After opening them, his eyes quickly scanned the contents.

Then, his heart trembled.

"A demon injuring people, resembling a python or a dragon?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Yes!" Bai Luoyu nodded.

"This matter is very tricky. Luoshui Lake is too vast, spanning several counties. Just within Dongling County, along the Luoshui River, there have been over 160 casualties!"

"If similar situations have occurred in other counties along the Luoshui River, the number of injured by the demon could be in the hundreds."

"Moreover, I sent people to investigate, and two of them were also killed. But until now, we still don't have a clear idea of whether the demon is a python or a dragon, its cultivation level, or its strength."

Bai Luoyu sighed as he spoke.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning, upon hearing Bai Luoyu's words, suddenly recalled the news he had heard from Linglong.

The gathering place of the demon race where Linglong was located had been destroyed by a powerful demon.

And that demon was an extraordinary Bai Chi with a unique bloodline.

According to the literal meaning, Chi is a dragon without horns.

The powerful Bai Chi must be an extraordinary being with the bloodline of a true dragon.

At this moment, Bai Luoyu sighed again.

"Indeed, Ye Zhengqi is a good person. Originally, this matter was for the two of us to handle, but now he's taking the initiative to go to Luoshui Lake to solve this problem for us!"

"He truly is a good person!" Jiang Ning agreed, nodding in approval.

"Oh, Jiang!" Bai Luoyu spoke up again, catching Jiang Ning's attention.

Bai Luoyu's right hand flashed with white light, and a cloth bag appeared.

"Jiang, catch this. It's your reward for slaying the demonic cultivator, a total of 500,000 Merit Points, with 250,000 of them inside!"

As his words fell, the cloth bag flew towards Jiang Ning, who reached out and grabbed it.

"Thank you, Bai!"

"Why thank me? It's what you deserve!" Bai Luoyu smiled.

After a brief chat, Jiang Ning bid farewell.

On the wide roads of Dongcheng District, a light drizzle fell like spider silk from the sky.

Lv Yi, dressed in a long green skirt, held an oiled paper umbrella, walking half a step behind Jiang Ning. Her slender figure and long fingers were eye-catching.

She's like a celestial being! Bai Luoyu watched Jiang Ning's departing figure, letting out a soft sigh.

As he turned back, he glanced at the budding willow trees by the road and then returned to the mansion.

Upon returning, Jiang Ning headed straight to his room.

After about an hour of calming himself, he wanted to check on the transformation of his Membrane.

Had the Golden Body been successfully formed?

Inside the room, the environment was quiet, and no one disturbed him.

He stood still, closed his eyes slightly, and focused his mind within his body, observing his inner self.

In an instant, he saw that the membrane beneath his skin had completely transformed from a bright silver color into a faint golden hue.

The membrane seemed to emit a golden light, filled with a divine aura.

Success!! He opened his eyes, his face filled with joy.

The next moment, his Chi flowed through his body, circulating throughout.

In a flash, golden light burst forth from his body, and on the outer side of his skin, a layer of golden light seemed to form a translucent shield, enveloping him like a protective barrier.

If Jin Chan were here at this moment, he would surely be astounded.

This was the protective golden light that emerged after the perfection of the Goldenvolution Invencible, and the forging of the Golden Body.

Once the Golden Body was forged, not only would the physical body become invincible, immune to sharp blades, but it would also possess the ability to resist and block various Daoist techniques and divine powers.

With this protective golden light, he could ignore the majority of the power from various Daoist techniques and divine abilities.

After experiencing the wonder of the Golden Body, Jiang Ning took out the dagger he had previously used for testing.

It was a Ten-Forged, Hundred-Forged, and Thousand-Forged dagger.

Facing the cold, gleaming Ten-Forged dagger, he activated the protective golden light.

Holding the blade with his right hand, he began to knead and twist it with force.

In less than a breath, the Ten-Forged Steel dagger was twisted into a tangled mess in his hand, yet his right hand remained unharmed.

As expected!

Jiang Ning smiled.

Then, he turned to the Hundred-Forged Steel dagger and attempted the same.

After kneading and twisting it with both hands, the Hundred-Forged dagger also became a tangled mess, and his hands remained unscathed.

Clang—

He drew out the Thousand-Forged dagger again.

"Let's try this one!" he muttered, gazing at the Thousand-Forged dagger with its dragon-scale-like patterns.

Previously, when he had achieved the high level of Goldenvolution Invencible and forged the Silver Skin, the sharpness of this Thousand-Forged dagger had been too much for his physical body to withstand.

"Perhaps, things are different now!"

The latest chapter is available now!

Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

Then, he circulated his Chi, and the golden light shone through his body.

Holding the dagger's handle, he drew the sharp tip across his left arm.

A piercing sound rang out.

As the tip glided across, his left arm remained unharmed.

He examined the dagger's tip and noticed a slight curl under the force he had applied, clearly visible.

Is this the defense of the Golden Body?

Impressive! Jiang Ning couldn't help but marvel.

At this moment, he truly understood the power of the Golden Body.

Even with the circulation of Chi and the activation of the protective golden light, the sharpness of the Thousand-Forged Steel dagger could not leave a mark on his physical body.

Only now did he comprehend why, after forging the Golden Body, he stood on the verge of invincibility.

Such an indestructible physical body—how could it be defeated?

Then, he stopped the circulation of his Chi.

The golden light faded, and he felt his body lose the resilience it had a moment ago.

In this state, he was as defenseless as he would be in his everyday life.

He gripped the Thousand-Forged dagger again and applied force.

As the sharp tip glided across the skin of his left arm, a white mark appeared, but that was all.

Not even a single hair was cut.

Impressive!

He clicked his tongue again.

At this moment, he was in a state of complete defenselessness, yet his outer skin could withstand the sharpness and resilience of a Thousand-Forged blade.

The next moment...

He exerted force again, fiercely dragging the blade across his skin.

But apart from deepening the indentation and leaving a slightly deeper white scar on the surface of his skin, it had no effect.

"It seems that even in a state of defenselessness, my physical defense can easily withstand the sharpness and resilience of a Thousand-Forged weapon." Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

Then, he gripped the blade and spine of the dagger with his bare hands.

His five fingers suddenly exerted force.

Bang!

Under his immense strength, the not-so-thick dagger shattered, breaking in half.

Breaking a Thousand-Forged weapon with his bare hands—this was the power of the Golden Body!

Looking at the scene before him, he was filled with awe.

In an instant, a thought flashed through his mind.

The Goldenvolution Invencible was already so powerful, what would it be like after breaking the limit?

He glanced at his panel.

【Yuan Neng】: 3381

【Technique】: Goldenvolution Invencible (Perfeccion 55/10000)



The Goldenvolution Invencible was far superior to high-level martial arts.

He wondered how many Yuan Neng Points would be needed to break the limit of the Goldenvolution Invencible.

As he looked at the panel that appeared before him, the thought flashed through his mind.

Let's try it!

The next moment, he made a decision.

With his current strength at the Fourth Grade of martial arts and his abundant Chi, the efficiency of refining the Membrana and gaining experience points for the Goldenvolution Invencible was incomparable to when he was at the Ninth Grade.

Back then, his Chi was weak, and it took a long time to gain experience points for the Goldenvolution Invencible.

But now, his Chi was abundant, like a vast ocean or a towering mountain.

The efficiency of refining the Membrana greatly increased, and the acquisition of experience points showed a geometric growth.

For this reason, in just one day and night, he had gained ten thousand experience points, completely perfecting the Goldenvolution Invencible.

"Now, gaining ten thousand experience points will only take a day and a night!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself, further solidifying his determination.

Outside Dong Ling Cheng.

Qingyuan Temple.

A woman in a thin white dress slowly climbed the hundred steps and entered the main gate of Qingyuan Temple.

The drizzle continued, soaking her thin dress and revealing her slightly plump figure.

Knock, knock, knock...

Inside the temple, the sound of the wooden fish echoed rhythmically.

As the woman entered Qingyuan Temple, an elderly monk who had been striking the wooden fish to cultivate his mind in the sparse incense smoke of the main hall noticed her and approached.

The drizzle quickly soaked the elderly monk's robe.

"Patron, what brings you to Qingyuan Temple?" the elderly monk asked, his gaze calm as he looked at the beautiful woman with her attractive figure.

Even though the woman had an exceptionally beautiful appearance and her curves were accentuated by the rain, the elderly monk's eyes remained calm, showing no signs of disturbance.

"I'm here to see Xiao Qiuyue's grave," the woman said calmly.

"You are..." The elderly monk's eyes flickered slightly, a ripple of emotion appearing in his gaze.

"Xiao Qiushui," the woman spoke again.

As these three words fell, the elderly monk's eyes changed instantly.

He nodded, "Patron, please follow me."

After speaking, he led the way.

Xiao Qiushui stood in the drizzle, following the monk.

After the two of them left, two young monks in the main hall rushed out into the rain and ran down the steps.

Previously, as Xiao Qiuyue was a concubine of the Marquess, she couldn't be buried in the family cemetery and was instead interred in Qingyuan Temple.

Strictly speaking, this followed the rites and regulations.

But now, with Xiao Qiushui's arrival at Qingyuan Temple, things were different.

Xiao Qiushui, as the Palace Master of the Water Moon Sword Palace, was one of the few prominent figures in Dongling County.

She was on the verge of reaching the Third Grade and becoming a Zong Shi.

The various powers in Dongling County were well aware that Xiao Qiushui's talent surpassed all others in the region.

If she gave up her aspirations and pursued the Union with Heaven, there was no doubt that she would attain the Third Grade.

Although she wasn't a Zong Shi yet, she had to be treated with the same respect.

Therefore, when Xiao Qiushui arrived at Qingyuan Temple, the monks who knew the truth couldn't help but take it very seriously and hurried to inform the Marquess.

Because if Xiao Qiushui became angry because Xiao Qiuyue's grave wasn't in the Marquess's family cemetery and wasn't buried with the young lord, Qingyuan Temple wouldn't be able to withstand the wrath of such a powerful figure.

So, after Xiao Qiushui disappeared from the front yard of the temple, the two young monks rushed out and ran to the Marquess's residence to deliver the message.

This was the instruction left by the Marquess.
