Chapter 173 - Ancient Immortal War, Slashing through the World, Ten Junior Sisters
The Human Path Records was floating right in front of Jiang Ming as he flipped over to a certain page. Name: Spatial Linglong Race: Human Gender: Female
Cultivation Base: Dao Seed Realm
Background: Clone of Zi Linglong, a disciple of the Jiuyang Sect’s Chuyang Peak
Relationship: 99 Innate Talent: Immortal (Spatial Daoist Body)
Status: Conceived through the creation of clones, great relation with Senior Brother, enjoys the joy of human life, turning obsession into emotions, heart bounded by the body, forever unchanged.
Went out to search for great encounters. Headed toward the Zhong Province and finally found the ruins of the ancient immortal war. Faced difficulties with each and every step as the dangers were boundless yet managed to turn the corner and reaped countless benefits from the encounters.
After reading the Status, Jiang Ming kept the Human Path Records. He often checked on the Status of Spatial Linglong to prevent any accidents from happening to her.
Never did he expect Spatial Linglong to have entered some sort of ruins of the ancient immortal war.
The word ‘ancient’ must be referring to ages ago. However, it was difficult to confirm whether immortals had participated in the immortal war.
And the word ‘ruins’ showed that the war must have been tragic and that this ruin had been hidden very well. Otherwise, it would have been discovered long ago, and Spatial Linglong wouldn’t have found it to this day. As Jiang Ming saw the phrase ‘faced difficulties with each and every step’, he was worried for her but couldn’t do anything for the time being.
That was Zi Linglong’s great encounter, and he did not want to disturb unless it was necessary.
As for the relationship value of 99, Jiang Ming smiled knowingly.
The phrase ‘obsession into emotions, heart bounded by the body, forever unchanged’ made Jiang Ming feel complicated.
He understood that he was everything to his Junior Sister, but what about the other way around?
Jiang Ming didn’t continue pondering over it.
After resting briefly, Jiang Ming could not stand being idle and got up to make lunch.
This time the menu was simple, a dish of Minced Meat Noodles.
The minced meat was quite good as it was made of venison from the Nine Colored Deer.
He had accidentally discovered the Nine Colored Deer when he was heading toward the Southern Region. He had seen this deer demon that radiated nine different colors and was truly a sight to behold. It looked very beautiful, which had led him to think that the taste would be great. Thus, he ended up butchering it.
By lunchtime, this ingredient was just right.
“Nine Colored Deer!” The corner of Xi Yao’s mouth twitched. “I’ve heard that there was a peerless Paradis deer demon with invincible special abilities in the Southern Region, hence reigning over the area. The seniors in my sect even commented before that this deer demon had the potential even to reach the Imminent Immortal Realm, yet who would’ve thought she became someone’s meal today.
“Brother Jiang, she’s a woman who had an alluring physique and a face that could launch 1,000 ships. Her body radiated nine layers of halo and had an extremely attractive body fragrance! How could you bear to behead her?”
“She was in demon form when I found her.” Jiang Ming didn’t expect it and added, “I didn’t expect that she had such a background.”
“You wouldn’t kill her if she was in her human form?”
“She looked delicious, and so I killed her. If she was in human form, where would I have the appetite for it?”
“You’re really… really…” Xi Yao was at a loss of words and ended up just smiling. “Fortunately, she was in her demon form. Otherwise, where could we enjoy such a delicacy? To think that Nine Colored Deer has nine different flavors! Such wonders!”
“Senior Brother, let’s catch all of the demons in the Southern Region and raise them in captivity. That way, we can eat them as we like,” Linglong suggested.
“This can be put into consideration.” Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up.
Xi Yao was simply shocked upon hearing what the two had just said.
“Ding: Congratulations to the host for enjoying nine different tastes for a meal of lunch. You are rewarded with a part of the Sky Shattering Sword Technique.
Upon hearing the reminder, he was very surprised.
This sword technique’s strength was beyond the realm of the mortal world.
It could cut down boundless laws, cut through heaven and earth, and rip through the infinite space to launch attacks across portals. This was truly a peerless sword technique. A technique that was purely for killing. Jiang Ming separated part of his focus onto silently understanding the sword technique, but most of his focus was still on his inner world, where he was promoting its evolution and quickly absorbing the origin essence he obtained to strengthen his inner core.
The remaining invaders were all extremely frightened.
In a blink of an eye, more than 80% of the Lord God’s beneficiaries who were prepared to run rampant in the world were killed, leaving the rest in panic.
They quickly realized something strangewhoever killed the mortals would be quickly killed.
At this point, how could they still not understand what was happening? They must be monitored by an unknown existence. Killing the ordinary mortals was a big taboo, yet their mission was to eradicate the world!
How could they complete the mission if they couldn’t kill all of them?
The remaining beneficiaries were in total despair.
After pondering over their despair, they quickly turned their aim over to earning more points so that they won’t be eradicated for failing the mission. Thus, they began to hunt down the strong experts of various sects.
Relatively speaking, the Eastern Region was much calmer. The beneficiaries could only hunt down the experts from the Qingyun Sect in the Feng and Yun Provinces. Once their battleground went outside of the two provinces, they would be immediately killed.
Under this situation, not only were the beneficiaries startled, but the local forces were shocked as well. All of them recalled the same person, the one who had destroyed the foreign demons in the Northern Region.
Time slowly flowed by, and the mountain was as calm as ever.
It was the 20th of December, year 9,999 of the Great Zhou calendar.
That day, the real Junior Sister was about to end her cultivation session.
Her clones had all been formed completely.
The night quickly fell as the bright moonlight loomed over the skies.
Xi Yao was quietly meditating over the far north. Even so, the manor was still sealed shut.
“Senior Brother, what do you think?” Nine Junior Sisters asked at the same time. There was the tall one, the cute and helpless one, the voluptuous one, the young and inexperienced one, the mature one, and such. They were all similar yet different at the same time.
They surrounded Jiang Ming with smiles on their faces. They were swaying around, each showing their unique beauty.
“I’m dazzled!” Jiang Ming knew that this would eventually happen, but he was still a little stunned and at a loss of words when it
did.
“Hehehe!” Linglong could not help bursting into laughter as she held onto his arm. “There are 9 clones in total. Other than Spatial, there’s also Time, Yin-Yang, Five Elemental, Light-and-Darkness, Life-and-Death, Karma, Reincarnation, and Phoenix. I stripped out all my phoenix bloodline to form another clone so that I myself can merge with the Innate Saint Daoist Body.”
“Nine clones and the real you. That makes you a perfect ten, then?” Jiang Ming joked around.
“Yep! It’s a perfect ten! But Senior Brother, there’s only one of you!”
“Ahem, as long as the bed is big enough, then it’ll be fine!”
“Can you handle all of us, though?”
“Oh, you are underestimating me too much!”
That night was one without conversation.
On the evening of the next day, Jiang Ming came over to the rooftop, seemingly as though he was fleeing. He hunched over and trembled as he made himself a nourishing medicinal meal.
Upon finishing the medicinal meal, he felt much better.
“Ding: Congratulations to the host for making and eating a satisfying meal. Rewarded a bottle of super-enhanced Rehmannia Six Formula.”
Jiang Ming silently raised a middle finger at it.
He was a person who could even kill immortals! What did he need these pills for?
He opened the bottle to take a sniff and was instantly hit with an energetic feeling, which made him feel like taking the pills.
He took a deep breath and carefully put the pills away.
“Senior Brother, should we have another night of Ten out of Nine tonight?” Linglong laughed softly.
Jiang Ming was rendered speechless as he quickly changed the subject and asked, “Why do these clones all have different cultivation realms?”
“I’m actually just beginning to understand some of the Sambodha. Take the Time Sambodha and the Reincarnation Sambodha. for example. If the understanding of sambodha is weaker, then their cultivation will be weaker as well! However, I feel our cultivation will be able to reach its pinnacle up in the mountains quickly!
“Senior Brother, I discovered that cultivating on the bed had a great effect on our cultivations that’s even better than sudden enlightenment! You will have to work harder!” Linglong smiled. “Aren’t you worried that you might tire me to death?”
“Senior Brother, don’t think like I don’t know! You won’t be tired to death even if there’s another thousand of me! Hmph! Senior Brother, is it that you no longer like me? Should I maybe get Xi Yao over?”
“Screw you! What cultivation path is your real self currently taking?”
“The Innate Saint Daoist Body has a strong physique and a great affinity with boundless Daos. I plan on walking the path of cultivating physiques. As for the major cultivation, I’m not sure yet. I have clones that need to raise their cultivation base quickly, so I’m thinking of going for an easier Dao. Senior Brother, do you have any suggestions?” “An easy one?” Jiang Ming hesitated for a bit. He was pondering over which was considered easy. Wood, Fire, Earth, Gold, and Water were easy but way too easy.
Moreover, there was a Five Elemental clone already, so there was no need for them.
“I guess you should just base it on your current situation,” Jiang Ming replied. “Just walk the path depending on which Dao you prefer. I’ll assist you in your cultivation to reach the Imminent Immortal Realm as soon as possible.”
“I’ll go for the Sword Dao then!” Linglong thought for a moment before coming to a decision, “The Sword Dao can merge with boundless special abilities, has great offensive capability, and can also be used for defense.”
“That works,” Jiang Ming replied. “You have a lot of clones that are currently cultivating different Daos. If you merge all the Daos into your Sword Dao, with boundless Dao all into a single furnace, you might even pave a new path on the Sword Dao!”
“Since it’s been decided, I’ll go cultivate right now!” Linglong waved before leaping into the air, flying toward the spiritual farm behind. Before leaving, she left a message saying, “The eight of them will take turns with you. Let them quickly reach the pinnacle of the Dao Seed. Once I break through myself, it will allow them to improve even further.”
“Should I be happy or depressed?” Jiang Ming had a complicated expression and sighed inexplicably.
Jiang Ming quietly dispersed the seal.
As he looked over the other peaks, he discovered divine lights that were constantly rising along with excited laughter from time to time. He understood that those were the disciples breaking through.
It used to happen occasionally, but it now happened almost every time of the day.
Jiang Ming’s divine sense swept through the peaks and discovered that the number of people who had reached the Core Formation Realm had doubled. It was unbelievable that this happened in such a short time.
However, he understood that these were the results of their accumulation of cultivation in the past. When the surroundings of the sect went through drastic changes, it transformed this accumulation into sublimation, causing so many of them to break through.
At that moment, a stream of light flew over.
Jiang Ming reached out and grabbed it, quickly realizing it was a message from Gu Hai. It was written there would be a selection of disciples by the sect in ten days’ time to replace the ones that had been lost. He was asking for Linglong and him to come over together and see if there was anyone that matched their taste and make them direct disciples.
“Expanding?”
The last time the sect had experienced an invasion, quite many were lost in battle.
Now that the sect was trying to expand, the remaining disciples seemed to be at a lower number. Since the sect had stabilized, it was naturally the best time to be recruiting disciples.
“Another ten days will also be the day the 10-year duration is up.” Jiang Ming gazed afar with much anticipation.
It was going to be a whole 10 years! What might be the reward? What surprises will there be?
“First Seat Jiang!” Chang Yiming flew from afar as his clothes fluttered in the air with that round belly of his. He was always cheerful and carefree but had a gloomy face this time around.
Jiang Ming had a bad feeling that something had happened.
