[Jiang Ming: Great!]

  [Ao Long: I have gathered quite a lot of items and Great Overarching Dao Vessels. I’ll transfer all of them to you first, and I’ll go gather some more!]

  [Jiang Ming: Sure!]

  [Di Huo: I have a Worldly Flame here. It is the fusion of 3,000 fires such as Sun Fire, Extreme Yin Fire, Stellar Fire, Black Hole Tears, Southern Flare, Thunder Fire, Void Fire, Terra Fire, Karma Fire, Mortal Fire, and Ocean Fire. It’s also the source of all fires in my world, which is equivalent to the Quasi-Chaos Fire. On my side, the value is comparable to that of a Quasi-Sage Weapon, but if you’re going to trade it to the owner of the auction house, the value is going to be several times higher. So do you want it, group admin?]

  [Jiang Ming: I think you need it more than me, right?]

  [Di Huo: I already have one, and this is the spare. There are only two in this universe, and I doubt there will be the third one in the future. The reason for taking it out is simple. I just want to get a large amount of points. Besides, my clan has high expectations of me. According to my natural talent and opportunity, they all think I have the chance of sanctifying Dao, which is why they spare no effort to support me. If I have enough points, there’s a possibility I can develop a method to break the shackles of my bloodline and realize my potential or comprehend a supreme Dao.]

  [Jiang Ming: Well, you came to the right person. I have a million points, so you won’t be disappointed!]

  [Di Huo: A million? Terrific! We’re truly honored to have a group admin like you! Anyway, I’ll transfer the item to you first.]

  [Jiang Ming: Sure!]

  All of them were trading, while on Chuyang Peak, Jiang Ming was biting his lip and his eyes were widened. His body was trembling and a surge of excitation rushed through every nerve end inside of him.

  “Phew…” He let out a sigh and looked ahead at the setting sun.

  He scooped his junior sister up from the floor. Then cook with one hand and eat with the other.

  He made the meal slower than he used to, and he finished the meal even slower.

  [Ding! Congratulations! You’ve finished the slowest dinner under double joy. You’ve been rewarded with one of Dragon Monarch’s strongest attacks.]

  Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows.

  This was not the first time he got a reward like this, but he had only used it once. The attack he used was the strike of the Heavenly Emperor that punctured the entire Abyss.

  “Awesome!” Jiang Ming was delighted as a myriad of thoughts flitted across his head.

  At this moment, he froze and shuddered. Then, he felt as if he had fallen into an endless void.

  Phoenix Linglong was lying next to him. She licked her lips and took a few large gulps from the cup of tea beside her. “Eek! It’s so disgusting!”


  “But you like it very much, aren’t you? It’s even more nutritious and flavorful than the cup of tea in your hand.”


  “Bullsh*t!” Phoenix Linglong rolled her eyes at him.

  Jiang Ming laughed. In the next second, he disappeared, and when he appeared again, he was standing on the platform of the Supreme Pagoda.

  On the platform, Ye Qingxian was sitting in a lotus position on top of a stone monument. There was a layer of divine light around her to prevent other people from disturbing her.

  There were also other people on the platform. Most of them were talking while the others had their eyes closed, seemingly taking a rest. However, all of them had a big grin on their faces.

  Jiang Ming flew through the air and landed outside of the divine light.

  “Sister Ye!” He called out to Ye Qingxian.

  Ye Qingxian opened her eyes, and a smile broke across her face when she saw Jiang Ming.

  “Brother Jiang!” She greeted him as she dispersed the divine light around her.

  Jiang Ming walked over and the divine light returned, obscuring everything that was happening inside from the sight of the people outside.

  The people on the platform looked over in their direction. Some of them were pointing their fingers at them, but none of them walked over. After all, they were all immortals and they did not really care about what they were doing.

  On the stone monument.

  “It has been 800 to 900 years, Sister Ye! It must’ve been tough for you,” Jiang Ming said as he sat down.

  “Well, the tougher the better!” Ye Qingxian smiled. Then, she tossed a storage ring at her. It was a Great Overarching item that harnessed the power of space. It contained a very unique special ability and it was extremely priceless.

  “I’ve used up all my points, but I’ve gotten quite a lot of items. Feel free to check on them!”


  “You’ve used up all your points?” Jiang Ming was shocked. “That’s faster than I expected!”


  “All of us lack points!” Ye Qingxian shook her head and laughed bitterly. “All of those who made it here are geniuses. They all hail from good backgrounds and they have plenty of good stuff in their hands. However, all of them are facing the same problem—not enough points! Once they have enough points, they could sanctify their Dao here. It’s an opportunity that can only come by luck, so of course, everyone wants to seize it. As for those treasures and good items, we can always get it back somehow.”


  Jiang Ming nodded.

  Ye Qingxian was right.

  For example, some of them with limited innate talent would not be able to ascend into a higher level once they had reached a certain realm. However, the enlightenment mode here could break through the shackles.

  “Some of them asked me if there’s anything I want or not.” Ye Qingxian looked at him.

  “Let’s stop for the time being,” Jiang Ming replied after he thought for a while. “It’s likely that I will need more, but the items needed will be different, so wait first.”


  “Alright then!”


  “What is your next plan?”


  “I’m going to stay here and cultivate?”


  “You’re not going to return to the real world?”


  “It has only been a year in the real world. Besides, I still need to cultivate if I go back to the real world, so why not do it here? I still have some points left, and once I’ve used them up, I’ll go challenge the Battle Tower and the Heavenly Ladder to get some points. Besides, I’ve also set up a small goal for myself.”


  “A small goal? That sounds interesting. Can you tell me more about it?”


  “I won’t return to the real world until I enter the chat room!”


  “Hmm?”


  Ye Qingxian’s eyes were glowing brightly, She became even more excited, but she did not ask Jiang Ming about the members in the chat group.

  After they talked for a long while, Jiang Ming returned to Chuyang Peak.

  “You came back faster than I expected,” Phoenix Linglong said in surprise when she saw Jiang Ming, “The taste in my mouth hasn’t gone away yet!”


  “I’m going to…” The corner of Jiang Ming’s lips quivered.

  “You’re going to what?” Phoenix Linglong smiled her eyes into two fine lines as she turned her body around.

  “I’m going to punish you!”


  By the time Jiang Ming raised his head, the sun was already setting.

  “No wonder people always say that the beauty’s arms are the graves of the heroes,” Jiang Ming lamented, “Junior sister, you’re going to kill me one day.”


  “I just took a few bites!” Phoenix Linglong said gloomily, “Senior brother, I’m hungry. Go make something for me.”


  Jiang Ming shook his head silently and went away.

  While he was flying, he looked across the Tianyuan Realm. There were divine lights everywhere. The trees were tall and the rivers were shimmering.

  He turned his head around and looked at the Jiuyang Sect.

  “Hao Chen First Seat has already ascended into the Immortal Realm. As expected of the most experienced senior in the Jiuyang Sect.

  “As for Xi Yao…”


  Jiang Ming looked toward the mountain behind Chuyang Peak.

  Xi Yao was still cultivating in the courtyard. She was a Mystical Immortal expert right now.

  “All of them are getting stronger and stronger!”


  He turned around and flew toward the Tianyuan Sea. Then, he gazed around at the Infinite Realm Battlefield.

  The portals to the Abyss were still around, and demons were rushing out of them.

  Besides, Jiang Ming also noticed that there were plenty of powerful beings in the void around the Tianyuan Sea. All of them were looking in this direction, and apparently, they were sent by the various forces from the Heavenly Realm to keep an eye on this place.

  Jiang Ming did not care about them.

  After a short while, he came to the auction palace.

  The door opened up and Riyue Changfeng emerged from it. His eyes were glowing and his voice was thick with excitement. “Welcome, welcome, my guest. Please have a seat inside, Brother Jiang!”


  “After you, Brother Riyue!” Jiang Ming followed him into the palace.
