Hearing this.

Jiang Jian's expression was calm, and he hadn't had time to speak yet.

The girl suddenly turned to the side, mist surging in her pupils, and pointed her finger directly at Jiang Jian!

A biting wind rose suddenly!

A scarlet blood light bloomed between her slender white fingers, tearing through the air with a sizzling sound and ripping toward him!

Bang!

Like a muffled strike of a great bell, it shook his eardrums!

Jiang Jian was expressionless; he also extended his finger and slashed in front of him!

A fierce golden light of the Kingly Dao appeared, like thunder exploding, and it forcefully blocked this strike!

Where their fingers collided.

Golden-red light streams shattered into thousands of pieces and collapsed in all directions!

Lu Lu Qingqing withdrew her hand and retreated three steps, barely stepping on the edge of the boat; the web between her thumb and index finger was numbed by the shock, and her slender palm trembled slightly.

"I don't know how you cultivate."

The girl silently tucked her fingers into her sleeves, raised her eyes to look at Jiang Jian, and her expression remained calm, "However, the evaluation Uncle Shen gave you was truly not exaggerated."

On the surface.

Although she was calm and unruffled.

Deep in her heart, however, stormy waves had already been stirred up!

Her innate technique "Blood Flame," supported by her profound foundation, had always been invincible.

Even when facing weaker Spirit Palace Realm experts, she could hold her own for a short time!

But at this very moment.

Facing the white-robed youth whom Shen Xi called a future peerless Spirit Palace expert.

Lu Lu Qingqing clearly sensed an indescribable gap.

Her cultivation in all aspects had already approached the limit.

But this gap left Lu Lu Qingqing completely baffled.

She could not find the source of the gap, but she could feel that it truly existed.

The next second.

Lu Lu Qingqing steadied her mind, took a breath, and said: "The reason I changed my mind is naturally because of the order of the Lord of Jade Capital."

"Except for him, no one can change my mind."

"He personally said that you have performed a service for the Earth Surface Realm and, to a certain extent, greatly relieved the pressure on the Earth Surface's unified war effort."

"This Yinshan Wonder Realm is the reward given to you."

While speaking.

The girl in the gauze skirt stood back at the bow, standing alone and elegant.

Her dark hair hung down like a waterfall, dancing with the wind.

Jiang Jian said softly: "If you break through to the Spirit Palace, you would indeed count as a formidable enemy to me."

Hearing these words.

Lu Lu Qingqing still did not look back.

But her slender figure suddenly froze.

Jiang Jian's words were double-edged and clearly exposed the reason she had given.

However.

She was very good at maintaining her composure.

In just a few seconds.

Lu Lu Qingqing relaxed again, extended her finger, gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and did not respond at all.

Jiang Jian stood at the edge of the boat, looking at the surging pitch-black seawater, his expression somewhat solemn.

The boat drifted with the wind, almost hugging the surface of the sea.

The surrounding seawater was deep and dark, surging silently, giving people a feeling of suffocation.

"To what extent does the resentment contained in the Sea of Bitterness seawater reach?"

Sensing the aura of the seawater, Jiang Jian's expression narrowed slightly, and many guesses arose in his heart.

The next moment.

He withdrew his gaze, stopped thinking about it, sat down on the ground, and began to cultivate as if no one else were around.

This time.

Lu Lu Qingqing, who was in front of the boat, noticed it.

She turned her head for the first time, staring fixedly at Jiang Jian.

"You have to cultivate even in such a short time?"

In Lu Lu Qingqing's heart, an absurd feeling arose.

"I have always prided myself on being diligent and focusing on hard cultivation."

"But in front of him, it seems it doesn't count for anything at all."

Thinking of this.

The girl in the gauze skirt gently smoothed her dress, confirmed that Jiang Jian was indeed cultivating, and involuntarily felt a trace of admiration in her heart.

The blurry mist in her eyes also changed.

The wind grew stronger.

The boat crossed the sea, its speed seemingly slow but actually fast.

A short while later.

Ahead of the pitch-black seawater.

The towering hundred-foot pavilion came into view.

"Did you bring the item?"

Lu Lu Qingqing spoke suddenly, asking a redundant question.

Jiang Jian opened his eyes, did not stop his cultivation, and replied softly: "Naturally, I brought it."

Lu Lu Qingqing nodded and said: "The Lord of Jade Capital specifically named you and wants to see you."

Jiang Jian's heart tightened, and he did not speak.

Lu Lu Qingqing raised an eyebrow and said: "Your reaction is very strange; it doesn't look like you're going to see a True Monarch of the Spirit Platform Realm."

Jiang Jian stopped cultivating, stood up, and said: "The Lord of Jade Capital sits in Chang'an, governs the Heavenly Capital Hub, and oversees the seventy prefectures of the Earth Surface; he is truly a legendary figure, and I am just a bit nervous."

He was not lying.

However.

The source of this nervousness was not due to these things.

But his own identity and origin.

The Spirit Platform Realm represents a leap in the level of life.

The sharpness of its intuition and the subtlety of its sensing are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Although Jiang Jian was certain in his heart that he had used a physician to completely strip away his original bloodline and that no matter how it was tested, it would be Earth blood and bone.

But the Lord of Jade Capital is, after all, a long-standing True Monarch of the Spirit Platform Realm.

No one knows what strange methods he might possess.

"If I disregard the shattering of my spirit, the Purifying World Divine Fire I can use now should be enough to allow me to enter the dimensional space for a short time."

Jiang Jian silently moved his mind.

He took out a bit of icy blue light and placed it deep in his meridians.

His original storage space, after being refined and fused with negative energy, now had the prototype of a dimensional space, allowing him to enter it briefly without his spirit collapsing.

This was also the final trump card for escape that Jiang Jian left for himself.

"Don't be nervous."

For some reason, Lu Lu Qingqing's voice softened, "The Lord of Jade Capital is in the Heavenly Capital Hub and cannot come out now; even if he summons you, it can only be through a virtual cabin."

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment and said: "Thank you."

Lu Lu Qingqing turned to look at the Pavilion of Guarding the Heart and waved her hand: "You're welcome."

While the two were talking.

The boat gradually approached the shore and stopped at the edge of the Pavilion of Guarding the Heart.

"Guests are guests; you go first."

Lu Lu Qingqing stepped aside, smoothed her star-weaving skirt with one hand, and cleared the way for Jiang Jian.

Jiang Jian did not stand on ceremony, simply nodded lightly, stepped forward, and was the first to step onto the ground of the Pavilion of Guarding the Heart.

Stepping on solid ground, the surface was extremely firm.

The feeling of not being on solid ground while drifting on the Sea of Bitterness finally dissipated.

Lu Lu Qingqing followed closely, stepped off the boat, and walked straight in one direction: "Follow me."

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment, but still followed by her side and walked toward the depths of the Pavilion of Guarding the Heart.

The Pavilion of Guarding the Heart seemed to have been under martial law for a long time.

It was cold and deserted.

Walking all the way, he didn't see a single person.

"Usually, it's very lively here."

Lu Lu Qingqing stopped and looked at the pavilion in front of her, "In the Heavenly Capital Hub, office staff coming and going, queuing to enter and exit the world portal, can fill the huge Pavilion of Guarding the Heart."

Jiang Jian followed her gaze.

This pavilion in front of him was in a remote location.

The plaque on it was written with vigorous strokes, engraved with the two characters "Observing the Heart."

"Please."

Lu Lu Qingqing walked to the bottom of the steps and gestured with her hand.

Her demeanor was relaxed, and her behavior was polite and standard, leaving no room for criticism.

Jiang Jian glanced at her, walked past her, and stepped onto the stone steps.

Suddenly.

A highly dangerous intuition surged deep in his heart!

The "Observing the Heart" pavilion before him.

Contained a fatal crisis!

"Jiang Jian."

Lu Lu Qingqing raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why did you stop?"

Jiang Jian did not speak.

Instead, he forced himself to steady his mind, with a vague guess in his heart.

The Yinshan Wonder Realm, originating from the "Earth Treasury Ten Wheels Sutra," is a Great Wonder Realm in the true sense.

Ever since it transformed from virtual to real and appeared in the world, it has been highly regarded by the Heavenly Capital Hub.

Now that the higher-ups want to use this Wonder Realm as his reward.

Then they will certainly verify his identity again!

It's just that.

Jiang Jian understood.

This rule was not aimed at him.

A complete Wonder Realm belongs to Earth's core resources.

After the Jupiter Demon Spirit incident.

Any distribution of core resources must undergo multiple verifications; absolutely no luck is allowed!

Although his spiritual cultivation had not yet reached the Spirit Palace.

But the struggle for the Yinshan Wonder Realm was already imminent.

Jiang Jian guessed.

This identity verification.

Was very likely the re-verification for breaking through to the Spirit Palace, moved up to now!

"Observing the Heart, truly a good name."

Jiang Jian glanced at Lu Lu Qingqing, then took a step and walked straight ahead.

While walking.

He confirmed once again.

That his original blood source had indeed been completely stripped clean.

Although the physician's intentions were dark.

Her stripping method had reached the pinnacle of creation, and her medical skills were near-divine.

When extracting the blood source, she didn't even leave a trace.

Despite this.

Jiang Jian still secretly operated the icy blue light.

He could trigger it almost anytime, anywhere, to hide in the prototype of the dimensional space.

"Solar System living being, bloodline test."

The pavilion door closed, and a cold voice came.

Jiang Jian was not surprised, secretly thinking it was as expected.

In the Observing the Heart Pavilion.

The lights were always on, bright as day.

Strands of light rolled over, submerging Jiang Jian without revealing anything.

Jiang Jian stood where he was, without any movement.

As the dense light intertwined.

An indescribable cool feeling spread throughout his body.

I don't know how long it took.

These lights finally faded away completely.

The cold voice from before sounded again.

"Test complete."

"Test result: Solar System, Earth, Earth Surface human."

"Bloodline purity: 100% blood source."

As the voice fell.

The pavilion door behind him opened again.

Jiang Jian's expression did not change; he turned and walked out of the Observing the Heart Pavilion.

He knew.

From this moment on.

Another worry could be put aside for the time being.

"There are 2 hours left until the Lord of Jade Capital summons you."

Lu Lu Qingqing lowered her gaze and looked at her identity device, "The Lord is busy dealing with Earth Surface affairs; I will take you there first."

Regarding Jiang Jian entering the Observing the Heart Pavilion for a bloodline test.

She didn't care at all.

In her eyes, this was just a routine procedure.

Although after the Jupiter Demon Spirit incident.

The four realms of Earth and Moon had become extremely strict about bloodline audits.

But for hundreds of years.

Among various bloodline tests, no extraterrestrial living beings had ever appeared.

Jiang Jian followed Lu Lu Qingqing to the south side of the Pavilion of Guarding the Heart and stopped in front of a large hall.

"Wait here."

The girl in the gauze skirt left this sentence, then stopped speaking, and like Jiang Jian, sat on the bench outside the hall and began to cultivate.

Seeing this scene.

Jiang Jian's expression was strange; he didn't say much, sat down as well, and entered a state of cultivation.

His two-realm cultivation foundation was already perfect.

What Jiang Jian was doing now was triggering the "Fate-Weaving" technique in his robe to accelerate the healing of his spirit cracks.

Before this.

He had already discovered.

If he used spiritual energy infusion, the technique origin contained in the robe would be triggered at a faster rate.

Clearly.

Shen Shen Qingchan had put a lot of thought into it when making the clothing, considering different situations.

Under the effect of the "Fate-Weaving" technique.

Jiang Jian's spirit cracks began to heal significantly!

One of the hideous cracks was slowly closing.

Compared to before, it was already many times smaller!

His spirit foundation increased.

All his cultivation conditions were recalculated and superimposed.

Causing the spiritual breath around Jiang Jian to tremble and surge violently again!

Not far away.

Lu Lu Qingqing opened her eyes, turned her head suddenly, and looked at Jiang Jian.

The amazement in her eyes could no longer be hidden!

"To have polished his cultivation foundation to this extent and still be able to continue improving!"

"How is this possible!"

The girl in the gauze skirt stared at Jiang Jian, unblinking.

The thing before her eyes.

Not only violated common sense.

But in some aspects, it exceeded her cognition!

In this instant.

Lu Lu Qingqing thought of her own cultivation.

After polishing her two-realm cultivation foundation to the limit.

No matter how she cultivated, her spiritual foundation was extremely difficult to improve!

Wanting to advance even a tiny bit was harder than ascending to heaven!

Only extremely rare Wonder Realm treasures had a glimmer of possibility to help her continue to improve her spiritual foundation.

Although her spiritual energy cultivation was close to the limit for living beings.

Lu Lu Qingqing still didn't feel satisfied.

She stayed in the Spring Realm, cultivating day and night, polishing her cultivation.

Just so that when she broke through to the Spirit Palace, she could soar to the sky and retain the hope of glimpsing the Spirit Platform!

After all.

Only by achieving a peerless Spirit Palace.

Does one have the slightest qualification to move toward glimpsing the Spirit Platform.

And on this basis.

The deeper the foundation.

The closer one will be to glimpsing the Spirit Platform.

2 hours passed quickly.

On the girl's wrist.

The prompt sound of the identity device came urgently.

"Jiang Jian."

She stopped cultivating and looked at the bench not far away.

"The Heavenly Capital Hub has issued an order."

"You are permitted to go to the Pavilion of Guarding the Heart to see the Lord of Jade Capital."
