Chapter 48: The Layout of the Divine Continent

  Time always slips away unnoticed, and when you realize it, the years have already quietly passed, no longer young. Two months of time is like the wind, fleeting in an instant, compared to the long period of cultivation.

  The inner ring of the Demon Beast was a paradise for second-order demon beasts, where third-order demon beasts rarely appeared, and first-order ones were mostly on the outer periphery. With the help of Jīn Jiǎo Shòu, in just two months, Jiang Hào had beaten most of the demon beasts within thousands of miles of the inner ring to a pulp, but he hadn't become arrogant enough to go after those that lived in groups, only picking off those that were alone or liked to be solitary.

  Thanks to the Golden Horned Beast's sensory talent, those ordinary second-tier magical beasts almost had no chance of escaping Jiang Hao's clutches.

  Cheers!

  Jiang Hao slapped a ghost-faced spider with one palm, then pulled out a spider leg and threw the spider away. The huge body of the spider was like a black rainbow across the sky, crashing into the ground 100 meters away, followed by a series of cracking sounds, and it was unknown how many bones were broken again.

  Ever since he was injured by the polar bear last time, Jiang Heng had been holding back his breath. When the Golden Horned Beast helped him find the second-level magical beast's trail, Jiang Heng didn't say a word and went up to fight it. Recently, Jiang Heng discovered that he liked wrestling, and the feeling of slamming his opponents away was really cool. In Ci Tian's words, this was completely reckless, but Jiang Heng's slams were very skillful, making those magical beasts unable to use their skills.

  Apart from Chui Feng Bu's ingenuity, the most important thing is Jiang Hao's accurate grasp of timing, which is Jiang Hao's greatest gain in the past few months.

  The already stout body of the Golden Horned Beast had grown even bigger, and these few months had made it so happy that it was almost dying from joy. All those guys who previously dared or didn't dare to provoke it were now being sought out one by one, Jiang Heng took care of defeating them, while the beast would take their food for itself, and every night Jiang Heng would roast meat for it to eat.

  Jiang Hao's hands were extremely measured, although each time he only knocked the magical beasts unconscious, he rarely harmed their lives. After all, they were living beings, and if they didn't pose a threat to his own existence, Jiang Hao naturally wouldn't take their lives.

  However, on the way a few days ago, he encountered a third-order Devouring Gold Mouse and Jiang Heng almost suffered a great loss.

  Firstly, third-tier magical beasts rarely appear in the inner ring of the Magical Beast Mountains. Secondly, the Golden-Eating Mouse looked very similar to a second-tier mouse, the Stone-Eating Mouse. As a result, Jiang Heng was bitten severely, and his defensive dragon scales were directly pierced through. In the end, he managed to escape only by using his Wind-Chasing Steps.

  I took a nervous glance at the two rows of teeth marks on my left arm, thinking that if I didn't have this half-dragon body, I'd probably have lost this arm by now.

  "Teacher, you said that even a third-stage magic beast like the dragon scales couldn't defend against it, isn't that different from what you told us before?" Jiang Huan was very depressed.

  "You little brat, the strongest part of the Golden Devouring Mouse is its teeth. Don't even mention you, even if a strong warrior like General Strong was bitten, they would lose a chunk of flesh. Moreover, your current strength is too weak and you can't fully utilize the power of your bloodline." Yi Tian said with disdain.

  Jiang Hao was shocked and hastily asked: "Teacher, are you saying that as my strength increases, this half-dragon body will also become stronger?"

  "That's natural, if you can fully control the power of that bloodline, you can even break through the constraints of the half-dragon body and achieve a dragon body, which is the most terrifying physical form in the world." said Shi Tian.

  "Alas, after all, it's still a matter of insufficient strength. It's been almost three months now, and there's still no sign of breaking through the Eight-Star Peak." Jiang Huan scratched his head, looking frustrated.

  "Hao'er, a cultivator, must not be impatient for quick success and immediate gain. Although you were unable to cultivate in the past, after being refined by the dragon's blood, your innate talent has been awakened, and your meridians are now different from those of ordinary people."

  Tianwang nodded and continued speaking.

  "The battle energy that your dantian can hold has already surpassed the level of an ordinary war general. You may not know this, but expanding one's dantian is a necessary step to break through to become a war general; otherwise, how could you withstand the overwhelming surge of battle energy? So, it can be said that your current body is uniquely gifted."

  "Cultivators are successful through attainment; Refiners are bitter through hardship! Since ancient times, no one has ever ascended to heaven in a single step." He said calmly with his hands behind his back.

  Jiang Hao let out a sigh, clasped his hands behind his head, and turned to leave.

  "Teacher, you're still so wordy. Hey, although it's a bit of trouble, but I'm originally a troublesome person, so whatever." A lazy voice came over.

  "This kid is getting more and more out of line."

  Tian shook his head and chased after Jiang Huan with a light body.

  ······

  How vast the Magic Beast Mountain Range was, Jiang Hao did not know. He only knew from the books in his family's book pavilion that on the other side of the Magic Beast Mountain Range was the largest empire on the Divine Continent - the War God Empire.

  Since being killed by Tian multiple times and realizing he was illiterate, Jiang Heng took the time to roughly scan through those hidden books over the past few months. Although many were still incomprehensible, he indeed gained a lot of insight.

  From the book, Jiang Huan learned that there were many empires on the continent of gods, but only four were truly powerful: the War God Empire, the Dahua Empire, the Dayan Empire, and the Tian Shui Empire, among which the War God Empire was the strongest.

  His hometown of Taisen was just a slightly larger city in the northern part of the Fia Empire, and the Emperor of the Fia Empire was a powerful warrior.

  Denmark, Jiang Hao finally understood that it was a unique country located between the War God Empire and the Tian Shui Empire. The people there mainly cultivate soul power, so many alchemists are produced there.

  For a warrior, weapons and skills are not the most important things, life and cultivation are the most crucial.

  Dan medicine can be refined into various elixirs, top-grade elixirs can revive the dead and turn white bones into flesh, rapidly increase cultivation, and even prolong life. The appearance of a single top-grade elixir often triggers a bloody storm.

  Alchemists are the most noble profession on the continent of Gods, and the higher the rank of the alchemist, the more powerful people they will meet, and that terrifying charisma is truly the most intimidating deterrent.

  It is said that the ruler of Dan country was a dan-making master himself, but what level he was at was not mentioned in the book. It only said that when the rulers of the four major empires saw this person, they had to treat him with courtesy.

  The Dan Country is the sacred place of alchemy on the continent of gods. As long as you have money, you can trade for all kinds of spiritual medicines and elixirs here. The book also mentions that under the Dan Country, there is a Dan Conference, where if you gain recognition within the conference, you can regularly receive gold coins from it, and prioritize trading for the alchemy materials you need. Therefore, driven by interests, many people strive to enter the Dan Conference, and most alchemists on the continent of gods take entering the Dan Conference as an honor.

  At that time, Jiang Huan knew the situation and was so regretful that his intestines turned green. He himself barely qualified as a Dan Master now, and in the future, he would inevitably have to deal with people from the Dan country. What if Ling Feng went back and asked for help? Wouldn't his life be forfeit then?

  Ahhhhh!

  Jiang Haowang looked up at the sky and let out a few cries, then dejectedly lowered his head again. Whether it was the War Emperor's strongmen or the Alchemy Masters, they were all existences that he couldn't reach no matter how hard he tried. The fact that this small warrior had actually provoked such a situation made him feel suffocated just thinking about it.

  He patted the Golden Horned Beast's large head, and suddenly a spark appeared in Jiang Hao's eyes.

  "Grandpa's, who's afraid of whom in cultivation? You old monsters, I'm only eight years old, and at your age of eight, you probably didn't even know who your own dad was, hahaha!" Jiang Hao thought to this point, and finally found some balance in his heart.

  "Practice, I don't know how Mother is doing, has Big Mother come looking for trouble?"

  Jiang Hao gazed northward, murmuring softly, with dense thoughts surging in his eyes.

  "Big brother, second brother, long time no see. After I break through the war master, I will definitely come to the war camp to find you."

  Jiang Hao clenched his fists, and a fierce aura suddenly burst out, startling the Golden Horned Beast beside him.

  The continent of the gods, where war is revered, warriors need not only strength but also brains. Only war can showcase a warrior's abilities, and only war can make men's blood boil with excitement, their veins bulging with power. Only war can demonstrate the greatness of warriors.

  Here is the translation: Because here, the strong are revered!!
