Chapter 256 - The Seven Level, Thousands of Special Abilities, Farewell
Jiang Ming was in the Golden Immortal Realm. He had nurtured his inner world to the perfection stage of a small chiliocosm. His origin force was vast and equivalent to that of the Great Overarching Extreme Realm.
The Great Overarching Extreme Realm was the real extreme realm across all universes.
This was the terrifying power one would get after perfecting the small chiliocosm.
Although his realm was low, his inner world was strong. Not only that, but he had mastered all 3,000 laws, and that made Jiang Ming’s soul extraordinarily powerful. However, there was still a limit to how strong his soul could be.
He had used up all his Great Overarching Dao Vessels from the previous fight. Whenever he activated the Sacrificial Artifact Judgment, his soul would receive a recoil damage once, and now, he was at his limit.
After he had taken the Ten Soul Refining Sacred Heart Pill, not only were his wounds healed, but his soul had been greatly boosted and stepped into the next level.
There were strands of gold coiling around his soul.
Jiang Ming opened his eyes and exclaimed, “What an awesome pill!”
His soul was boosted and he now possessed the foundation of the sage soul. In other words, it was like a one way ticket to the Sage Realm for him. If other people were to know about the pill, he was certain that the entire world would fall into chaos.
Even though he had been healed back to his top condition, Jiang Ming still decided to take a rest.
After all, there was no better way to get rid of mental fatigue than sleeping.
“How good it would be if my junior sister was here!”
With that thought in his mind, Jiang Ming fell into slumber.
In the dream, he had formed 30 millions clones and each of them had different shapes…
He only woke up three days later.
He rose to his feet and stretched his body. He felt fresh.
The lotus platform was huge. After he had activated the time acceleration feature, it became even bigger and expanded to nearly 10,000 meters square, which gave him a lot of convenience in his cultivation and it wouldn’t hinder his daily activity.
He took his ingredients out and began cooking himself a feast. After that, he summoned the Supreme Order, but as the order appeared in front of him, he stored it back.
After all, he could not enter the chat group after he activated the time acceleration feature.
“I should’ve exchanged some resources with my group members before starting my cultivation,” Jiang Ming said as he shook his head.
He sat back down in a lotus position and began to go through his fight with the Northern Emperor and those demon venerates.
Even though it seemed like he was powerful enough to slain the Northern Emperor and demon venerates, only he himself knew that he lacked skill and technique that could deliver the final blow.
When he was going through the battle tower, Jiang Ming could defeat all his opponents with his Incarnation Dao and time-space forbidden technique. However, that was because none of his opponents wielded the Quasi-Sage weapons and they did not have any helpers. Even so, he couldn’t go through the second stage of the sixth battle tower.
From here, it was very obvious that he lacked some effective skills when facing a powerful opponent. For example, Bei Chengxing’s great formation, Kunpeng’s Seven Stars Formation, Northern Emperor’s authority, and his helpers, Ghost-Faced Demon Venerate’s Evil Demon Curse and several Quasi-Sage Weapons.
Even if he had the Saint Province Dao Square to help him, he did not have an overwhelming advantage over his opponents.
“I can defeat my opponents with the time-space forbidden technique or the Return of Infinite Law Finger, but if they’re well-prepared, there’s nothing I can do.”
He had the confidence to defeat a Great Overarching Expert, but when it came to a Quasi-Sage, things were different.
Most of his techniques were less effective against them. Even the Holy Civilization Fist he got from Hong Yi or his own Return of Infinite Law Finger were proved to be ineffectual against them.
However, this did not mean that those skills were not powerful. One of the explanations was that his cultivation level was too low.
“My enemies will only get stronger and stronger in the future, and it’s impossible that my inner world would ascend to the next level in such a short amount of time. As for my cultivation level? I could try to cultivate the Taiyi Law, but it wouldn’t help much.”
Jiang Ming fell into thought.
The power of the small chiliocosm was the reason why he could defeat a Quasi-Sage despite him being only a Golden Immortal.
“I guess… If I want to increase my combat prowess in a short time, I can only rely on the Sacrificial Artifact Judgment and the Return of Infinite Law Finger!”
After he had made up his mind, Jiang Ming calmed himself down and began cultivating.
Then, he realized something was different.
“Compared to last time, my cultivation speed has increased by a hundred times!” Jiang Ming was shocked.
“This must be the effect of the Ten Soul Refining Sacred Pill! This is great. I can cultivate even faster now!” Jiang Ming exclaimed delightfully.
After that, he started to comprehend the Sacrificial Artifact Judgment. He had come to the seventh level this time, and he passed it without any difficulty.
“On the seventh level, I can finally detonate Quasi-Sage Weapons!” Jiang Ming said, “But can I bring myself to detonate a Quasi-Sage Weapon?”
Jiang Ming took the Mystical Arcane Halberd out. Feeling the immense strength from it, he shook his head.
He could somehow protect himself from the recoil damage of detonating a Great Overarching Dao Vessels, but what about a Quasi-Sage Weapon?
He was confident that he would kill himself in the explosion as well if he were to detonate a Quasi-Sage Weapon.
He had fully mastered the Sacrificial Artifact Judgment, but he still felt it was not enough.
If he could detonate his own weapons, could he detonate his opponent’s too?
If he could detonate or control his enemy’s Dao Vessels during a fight, it would certainly be able to turn the tide of the battle to his favor.
Jiang Ming’s eyes glowed and he continued his cultivation.
This time, he decided to comprehend the Holy Civilization Fist as well as the Return of Infinite Law Finger.
Time was fluttering away.
The fog was dissipating. Jiang Ming opened his eyes, and sighed. He rose to his feet and glanced around the enlightenment sea.
There were many other lotus platforms around him. Some of them were occupied while the others were empty. For those occupied lotus platforms, some were surrounded with fog, and he surmised that they must have activated the time acceleration feature as well.
He turned around and his eyes glowed up when he saw the man on the square.
He flew toward him and greeted him happily, “Brother Luo, it has been such a long time!”
Luo Heng, who was holding a glass of wine in his hand, was stunned for a moment before a smile broke across his face, “”Brother Jiang! I didn’t expect to run into you after entering this place. Today must be my lucky day!”
“I just finished my cultivation and I saw you!” Jiang Ming sat down. “You just came here today?”
“Yes!” Luo Heng nodded. “Well, I have to thank you too. If you hadn’t told me to continue training, you might not be able to see me here today!”
At that time, he had just stepped into level 11, which was equivalent to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. He felt that he was ready, so he wanted to attempt the Supreme Pagoda’s trial.
However, Jiang Ming’s voice rang out in his mind and he held himself back.
“Afterwards, I ventured into the secret domain of the universe and came across a great opportunity to raise my genetic level for 30,000 times. It’s only then I have the confidence to attempt the trial. After I passed the trial, I realized that if I hadn’t come across the opportunity, I might not have been able to pass it. I would then lose the Supreme Order, and you wouldn’t be able to see me here today!” Luo Heng said.
“Genetic level?” Jiang Ming asked.
“It’s similar to the bloodline in your cultivation system,” Luo Heng explained.
Luo Heng was very excited since he had just come here, while Jiang Ming wanted to talk to someone after he finished his cultivation. He took some food out to share with Luo Heng.
Both of them chatted, and when Jiang Ming mentioned Dongfang Chenxi and Ye Qingxian, Luo Heng lamented, “I knew it! I knew they would make it here! Dongfang Chenxi is as powerful as you, while Ye Qingxian, although she’s a mortal, she’s a genius.”
“She has mentioned about you as well. She said you have a lot of determination, and certain that you would make it here too. Haha, now we are able to meet in the Supreme Pagoda, maybe we’ll be able to meet each other in the world outside,” Jiang Ming laughed, “We just need to work harder, and I’m sure the day will definitely come!”
“I’ll be looking forward to it then!” Luo Heng said, “At that time, we’ll fight side by side, and conquer all universes!”
Jiang Ming also had told him the things here. He told him that he must keep on training until he had reached the extreme realm before attempting the trial.
Luo Heng nodded seriously.
After they had finished speaking, Jiang Ming bottomed up the last cup of wine and returned to the real world.
After all, there were a lot of things waiting for him to be done outside.
“It took me a great effort to surpass him last time, and now he has surpassed me again!” Luo Heng laughed and shook his head. He could sense how powerful Jiang Ming had become.
“Training huh… Alright then. I’ll try my best to join the Supreme Chat Group again! Life will only be fun with challenges, and people can only motivate themselves to move forward when they have a goal. With a man like Brother Jiang, life will not be boring in the future,” Luo Heng said.
