Chapter 36: A Flawed Technique? The Complete Technique!
"So, according to you, while this Primordial Chaos Divine Art allows me to surpass my limits against enemies at the same level, it also restricts the speed of my cultivation breakthroughs?" Jiang HuanYu asked, his eye twitching slightly.
[Ding! System: Correct.]
"You're kidding me!"
"You call this fair?!"
"What kind of decent system gives out a cultivation technique that backfires on its user?! If I'd known it would hinder my cultivation speed, I'd never have chosen to cultivate this ridiculous technique!" Jiang HuanYu fumed, nearly jumping out of his seat in frustration.
A whopping 10,000 years of cultivation had gone into achieving only a minor breakthrough, and it was all because of the flaws in this technique.
[Ding! System: Host, please remain calm. We can discuss this rationally.]
[Ding! System: While the technique has its drawbacks, the main issue is that you are cultivating an incomplete version of the Primordial Chaos Divine Art. Once you obtain and practice the complete technique, these drawbacks will disappear.]
Jiang HuanYu sat in stunned silence, his face impassive.
[Ding! System: Host, are you listening?]
"Of course I'm listening!" Jiang HuanYu shouted internally. "Then why don't you just give me the complete technique?!"
[Ding! System: The complete Primordial Chaos Divine Art can only be unlocked through child-rearing gift packs and prestige gift packs.]
Jiang HuanYu: …
Suppressing his irritation, Jiang HuanYu took a deep breath to calm himself. After a moment, he exhaled slowly.
"Fine, fine," he muttered. "With my current Seventh Stage Heavenly Realm cultivation, I'm already invincible in the Northern Domain. I'll deal with the flaws in this technique later."
Having destroyed the three major factions and slain the Death Centipede of Bloodshadow Tower, Jiang HuanYu decided it was time to root out Bloodshadow Tower entirely.
"Archer God, hear my command," Jiang HuanYu ordered.
"Present!" The Archer God responded respectfully.
"Head to the Northern Domain—the base of Bloodshadow Tower. Take six Godslayer Guards with you and wipe out the entire organization. Leave no survivors," Jiang HuanYu commanded.
"As you wish, Your Majesty!" The Archer God bowed, then immediately departed with six Godslayer Guards, heading straight for Boruo Lands.
Through Xu Bai's intelligence, Jiang HuanYu was already well-acquainted with Bloodshadow Tower's headquarters and hidden strongholds. He estimated that Xu Bai, who had been deployed earlier, should have already begun his operations.
With a flick of Jiang HuanYu's thoughts, two Third Stage Heavenly Realm Shadow Guards appeared in the room.
"Your Majesty," they greeted.
"Relay my orders to Jiang King and Tie Poyun: they are not to return to the Qian family estate. Instead, they are to proceed directly to Bloodshadow Tower's hidden strongholds and eliminate them completely. Additionally, all four of you Shadow Guards are to mobilize and obliterate every branch of Bloodshadow Tower. Begin immediately!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the Shadow Guards replied, vanishing instantly.
As they left, Jiang HuanYu turned to Chonglou, his eyes gleaming with appreciation.
"Demon Lord, for now, stay here. Once Bloodshadow Tower is annihilated, you will return to the imperial palace with me. I will introduce you to an old friend of mine," Jiang HuanYu said with a smile.
"Trust me, you'll be pleasantly surprised when you meet him," he added.
"Understood, Your Majesty," Chonglou replied, bowing slightly.
High above the skies, not far from Tianlin City, Jiang King and Tie Poyun were leading their forces back to the Qian family estate.
Suddenly, Jiang King received a message. His expression changed drastically as he shouted, "Stop! Turn around immediately!"
"What's the matter?" Tie Poyun asked, startled.

"His Majesty has ordered action against Blood Shadow Tower," Jiang King explained. "He has already dispatched forces to their headquarters. Shadow Guards have sent word for us to target Blood shadow Tower's hidden strongholds and destroy them. Leave no survivors!"
"Finally, the time has come to avenge the late emperor's blood feud!" Tie Poyun exclaimed, his heart surging with determination.
"All troops, turn around at once!" he commanded.
With that, the massive airship fleet altered its course, heading toward Blood Shadow Tower's locations.
In the underground palace of Blood Shadow Tower, within a grand pavilion, Guan Zhiyun and Nanmen Yu sat with grim expressions, their faces dark as storm clouds.
The news from Tianlin City the destruction of the three major factions and the takeover of Evil Moon Hall and Sky Burning Island by the Jiang Dynasty had left them reeling. The unexpected strength of Jiang HuanYu and the death of the Death Centipede were especially shocking.
"How did he do it?" Guan Zhiyun muttered.
"A useless waste of a prince managed to reach the Fifth Stage of the Heavenly Realm, surpassing all of us. And the empire's hidden strength—thirty Earth experts, more than even we have!"
"If we had known they had such a foundation, we would never have allied with the Dameng Dynasty!" Guan Zhiyun lamented bitterly.
"If only we had known about Jiang HuanYu's true strength and the empire's depth…"
Regret was etched across his face, but there was no undoing what had been done. Some grudges, once formed, were irreconcilable.
"Tower Master," Nanmen Yu interjected. "We underestimated Jiang HuanYu, which is why things have come to this point. His cultivation reaching the Fifth Stage of the Heavenly Realm is no coincidence."
"You think he's a reincarnated elder or a body snatcher?" Guan Zhiyun speculated.
"It's highly likely," Nanmen Yu replied. "Otherwise, it's impossible for someone under thirty to surpass even the most monstrous prodigies in the Northern Domain."
"No matter his origins, the feud between us is now irreversible," Guan Zhiyun said solemnly. "And with the Death Centipede dead, we can no longer report back to Heaven Pavilion. We're caught between a rock and a hard place. What should we do?"
As the two were deep in thought, an agitated figure rushed in, breaking the tense silence.
"Bad news!" the man shouted breathlessly.
"What now?" Guan Zhiyun barked, irritation lacing his tone.
"It's the Young Tower Master!" the man stammered. "The Young Tower Master's… his root has been destroyed!"
"What did you say?!" Guan Zhiyun and Nanmen Yu froze in shock, their faces contorted in disbelief.
