Jiang Ming was oblivious toward the changes outside of the world.

  He was still enjoying his good life.

  He would read books or watch videos with his tablet from time to time during his leisure time.

  The only downside was that his junior sister was not with him, and he felt a little bit lonely sleeping alone on the Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Heart Bed.

  Xi Yao brought Mo Xiaoyu to come and pay Jiang Ming a visit. “Greetings, Uncle Jiang!” Mo Xiaoyu got to her knees and greeted Jiang Ming respectfully. “Alright. Get up,” Jiang Ming said as he waved his hand, “You are in Qi Cultivation Stage 5 now? That’s pretty good. So how do you find the living on the mountain? Can you adapt to

  it?”


  “Yes!” Mo Xiaoyu rose to her feet.

  “Of course, she could adapt to it!” Xi Yao chuckled, “She’s the only disciple on the mountain, and she receives guidance from both Linglong and me.Who else has a better treatment than her? I’m afraid that the only thing she can’t get used to is that it’s lonely

  here.”


  “Well, you have a point,” Jiang Ming replied as he fell into a contemplation. “Maybe we should ask Linglong to accept more disciples when she comes back later.”


  “How about you? Are you not going to take in any disciple?” Xi Yao asked as she sat beside Jiang Ming. “It has been so long and she has already passed the test. You’re her martial uncle, so don’t you think you should show something?”


  “Don’t worry,” Jiang Ming said, “After all, she’s the first third-generation disciple of Chuyang Peak. She will be the senior sister in the future, so we have to be careful.” After he paused for a short while, he pulled something out and threw it into the air. A streak of white light appeared, and when it fell on the other side of the mountain, it transformed into a ladder that reached the sky.

  “What is that?” Xi Yao asked, her voice thick with surprise, “The power that lies within is so immense that it gives me a chilling sensation.”


  “It’s an immortal weapon known as the Heart Refining Path. It can discipline one’s mind and harden one’s will. You can try it when you have free time,” Jiang Ming explained, smiling, “It’s a very useful tool in nurturing and training our disciples.”


  This was his reward when he first harvested the supreme-grade spiritual medicine. It had no use to him, so he had totally forgotten about it. He only remembered it when Mo Xiaoyu appeared today.

  “An immortal weapon? And you call it a tool?” Xi Yao did not know what she should say.

  Jiang Ming nodded. He then looked at Mo Xiaoyu and continued, “If you can get to the 19th level in one year, I’ll give you a big present.”


  “A big present? What is that?” Xi Yao asked.

  “I’ll help her to forge a special body for her!”


  “What?” Xi Yao was stunned. After she had come around to her senses, she turned and said to Mo Xiaoyu, “What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and thank your martial uncle!” She was fully aware of how difficult it was to change one’s body, not to mention that a special body. It was also now that the scale fell before her eyes when Linglong said she wanted someone with a strong will in the past.

  “Thank you so much, Uncle Jiang!” Xiao Yao said.

  Jiang Ming then added in a serious manner, “You can thank me after you’ve passed the test. If you can’t pass the test, then you should cultivate in a step-by-step manner.”


  Xi Yao brought Xiaoyu to the Heart Refining Path. After that, she returned to Jiang Ming and squatted beside him. Lifting her head, she looked at her and asked, “Brother Jiang, do you think there is a need for me to modify my body?”


  “You’re as pretty as a fairy that descends on the mortal world. I don’t see any need for you to modify your body,” Jiang Ming commented after he studied Xi Yao from head to toe, “You’re already very perfect, and I think the only person who can compete with you is Linglong.” Xi Yao’s eyes glowed, but she snorted, “Brother Jiang, I’m being serious here.”


  “You’re in the Primal Spirit Realm. In other words, your Dao is already fixed and it would be hard for you to change to another body,” Jiang Ming shook his head, “There’s nothing I can do to help you at my current level of strength. Unless you abolish your cultivation level.”


  “Abolish my cultivation level?” Xi Yao pouted, “Once I abolish my cultivation level, I’ll turn into an old woman within a second?” “You’re that old?”


  “Hmph! I’m still a little girl in the cultivation world.”


  “Well, I doubt so.”


  “Hmph!”


  Xi Yao did not know why but she could feel a surge of exaltation deep in her heart.

  She did not wish to stay here anymore, so she rose into the air and came to the Heart Refining Path.

  Right now, Mo Xiaoyu had already stepped onto the Heart Refining path. She stopped at the 10th floor. Her face was ashen pale, sweats were oozing out of the pores on her forehead, and her steps were faltering.

  Shortly after, she fell down and disappeared from the path. In the next second, she appeared below the Heart Refining Path, huffing heavily.

  “How do you feel?” Xi Yao went forward and helped her up from the ground.

  “Martial Uncle, I thought I was about to die just now,” Mo Xiaoyu said, her face pale, “Every level has a different environment. Some wanted me to kill someone, while another wanted me to rescue someone. There was one that asked me to make a choice, and I fell into an endless panic before I could even realize it. At the last level, I saw an endless stream of sword energies falling from the sky. I tried to defend myself but to no avail, and I thought I was going to get killed.” Xi Yao instantly understood what she was talking about.

  “All of those are illusions to test your mind and willpower. I think you should come here more often. However, judging from your current situation, you can come here every seven days.” “Okay, Martial Uncle!”


  Apparently, Mo Xiaoyu had grown attached to her.

  After that, she returned to Xi Yao’s home to recuperate.

  “The Heart Refining Path huh?” Xi Yao breathed out and stepped on the ladder.

  Underneath the gazebo, Jiang Ming glanced at her but he did not say anything.

  After all, he was certain that Xi Yao had a strong mind and willpower.

  Suddenly, he felt the calling from the Fifth Immortal Moon and his eyes glowed with delight.

  After the Fifth Immortal Moon had digested all of the rewards, she took on another SS-Class mission: Demons hunting.

  The mission looked easy, but the level was exceedingly high.

  Sensing that the Fifth Immortal Moon was about to start the mission, Jiang Ming sealed the courtyard with a flick of his mind and formed two clones around him. One of them was formed with half of the origin force from his inner world, while another was formed with only half of his power.

  In the blink of an eye, both clones were done. Realizing that the Fifth Immortal Moon had already departed, Jiang Ming summoned the Human Paths Record and followed after her.

  Voom… For a moment, his origin force was depleting at a rapid pace, but Jiang Ming was prepared. There were several beads in his inner worlds. These were the origin force that he refined and stored up for emergencies.

  One of them cracked and a large amount of origin force gushed out to make up for the consumption at a rapid pace.

  Abyssal World.

  The Fifth Immortal Moon was standing by the edge of the forest.

  The forest looked strange. All of the trees were either made of grey or black or red. There was no green color at all, not even the leaves or the flowers.

  She raised her head. The air was filled with the demonic Qi.

  She lowered her head. The ground looked like a dried blood stain.

  Very soon, two people appeared beside her. They were none other than the two clones of Jiang Ming. “Sir!” The Fifth Immortal Moon greeted them before throwing a ring at them. The second clone grabbed it and his eyes glowed.

  The ring was filled with the Xuanhuang Origin Essence to the brim. This was the best nourishment if he wanted to strengthen the origin of his inner world.

  The second clone nodded and disappeared.

  His job was to bring good items back to Jiang Ming in case anything bad happened.

  The Fifth Immortal Moon then handed the Mystical Light Sword, the Heavenly Feathered Shirt, and the Celestial Soul Bell to the first clone.

  The first clone gave her 100,000 combat mannequins in return.

  It seemed as if they were not talking to each other, but in reality, they were communicating through their minds.

  Jiang Ming soon understood her mission. [Ding! Beneficiary the Fifth Immortal Moon. The world you’ve arrived at is known as the Third Dark Abyss of the Quasi-small Chiliocosm World. This world could accommodate up to level 12 cultivation level.]

  [Ding! Your hunting tasks are as follows:

  Hunt 100 level 10 demons. 2. Hunt 3 level 11 demons.Kill the Western Demon Princess and the Eastern Demon Prince.]

  (Ding! Note: You’re the only beneficiary that comes to this world this time.]

  “This is strange,” Jiang Ming frowned. “Immortal Moon, what do you think is going on based on your experience? Why is it you’re the only one in this world? It’s a Quasi-small Chiliocosm World and could accommodate up to level 12 experts.”


  The Fifth Immortal Moon frowned and replied, “Judging from my experience, it seems like the system wants to force me to break through and improve my cultivation level.”


  “What makes you say so?”


  “Simple. This mission is an SS-class mission. After I’ve selected it, it was locked and I’m the only one who is allowed to come to this world. Otherwise, there should be many teams.” “You have a point. Continue.”


  “Second, this is a hunting mission. Once we start to hunt, it’ll certainly alert those higher demons. Although there is no specific information, according to the mission analysis, the Western Demon Princess and the East Demon Prince should be located in two places, and they can not be killed at the same time. Once we kill one, the experts here will make their moves, and the only way to prevent us from getting killed is to become stronger since they’re mostly level 12 experts.”


  “Did something like this happen in the past?”


  “I have no idea, but in my opinion, once a mission like this appears, the only way to get through it is to become stronger. If not, there are only two endings for us: dead or half crippled. Once we break through the realm and return to the Reincarnation Hall, we will directly appear in the next level of space. Even if the mission fails to return, we won’t get transport out. Also, there is no extra points for this demon hunting mission. I guess it’s because we’ve gone too far in the previous mission.”


  Jiang Ming did not know what to say after he heard what the Fifth Immortal Moon had said.

  “We can’t get extra points anymore?” Jiang Ming was a little bit disappointed.

  “We can,” the Fifth Immortal Moon said, “We can collect loot and when we go back, we’ll recycle it. The only downside is that we might not be able to get many points.” “I’m fine with it as long as we can recycle them!” Jiang Ming rubbed his hands as he looked at the land.
