Chapter 169 Materialization, the Final Changes of the Inner World
The Human Path Records was flipped open once again, and the opponent’s information appeared before his eyes.
“Awesome!” Jiang Ming exclaimed, his eyes lighting with joy.
However, he did not do anything. He activated the Supreme Order and came to the seventh floor of the Supreme Pagoda once again.
Name: Jiang Ming Cultivation base: Level 9 Points accumulated: 6,759
Honor for the seventh floor: 18 floors Heavenly Ladder, 9 stages Heavenly Stage, 533 points of special abilities
Jiang Ming stepped on the Heavenly Stage and began climbing Soon, he arrived at the 7th stage. This time, his opponent was Jun Sanqian. He was now at the initial stage of Level 11.
“Nice to see you again, senior!” Jiang Ming greeted Jun Sanqian.
“Well, it seems like you have more questions for me,” Jun Sanqian laughed, “Fire it away!” “My world is now under the invasion of two organizations. They can come to my world freely, and it seems like they need to accomplish some kind of mission. One time they were tasked to destroy my world, while another time, they were tasked to investigate a sect,” Jiang Ming said. “Senior, do you know who they are?”
“Destroy your world and investigate a sect? This is interesting.” Jun Sanqian said, “Anyway, I don’t think it matters to you even if I know who they are. You just want to ask if you can kill them all, and if you do so, will it bring you any trouble, right?”
“Yes, senior.” Jiang Ming affirmed. “If you can kill them, just do so,” Jun Sandian laughed, “If they come to your world through a normal process, you can just kill them.” “Normal process? Could it be that there are abnormal ones?”
“Bingo! Those you mentioned earlier appeared in your world through a normal process. As for those abnormal ones, they’re even simpler to understand. Those who can destroy your world without descending on your world personally are considered abnormal. The beings in your world can’t stop them.”
“Senior, could there be a situation where someone in my world facilitates the descent of a powerful person who exceeds the world’s tolerance limit?”
“Yes, but it’ll also come with many restrictions, and it falls in the category of normal. Also, you don’t have to worry too much. As long as you have the Supreme Order, nothing serious will happen.”
“Thank you for your explanation, senior,” Jiang Ming said. “What will happen if I kill all of them in those two conditions I mentioned just now?”
“They will keep coming to your world, but if the number of people you kill has reached the maximum, they will stop coming to your world. However, there are also some special cases where they will bring an interdimensional gate with them to lead a large number of powerful people from another world into your world. Or, they might set up coordinates in your world to facilitate the invasion of another world.”
“What?” Jiang Ming was stunned. “Facilitate the invasion of another world?”
“Exactly. They will bring in a world of a lower level, or the same level to fuse with your world.”
“Fuse? Are you talking about a collision? Wouldn’t that be bad?”
“Either fuse or collide against each other! This is a very rare occurrence since the cost of propelling a world forward, or targeting a specific world, is so great that even Dongfang Chenxi’s father would rather not do it.”
“You know her father?”
“Well, that’s my secret.” After talking for a long while, Jiang Ming resumed clearing the stages. He went up to the 9th stage, but he was defeated on the 10th stage when he was going up against a Level 12 expert. This time, his opponent was still Jun Sanqian.
“Come at me. I hope you can create a miracle this time,” Jun Sanqian said. “A miracle?” Jiang Ming asked, “Didn’t you tell me that I’m not the most talented despite having a lot of potential? How am I supposed to create a miracle?”
“Create a miracle that belongs to the mortal realm!” Jun Sanqian explained, “Amongst the mortal realm, although there are beings that are capable of slaying immortals, it’s only because they own superb weapons. However, here, we’re fighting on equal ground, and on this stage, I’m a Level 12 expert.” “Understood. I’ll try my best to create a miracle!”
Jiang Ming grabbed his sword and made his first move.
He activated the World Projection in order to suppress his opponent. Then, he cast the Astral Formation and two forms from the Great Millenium Technique, the Solitary Desert and the Descending Sun.
He was exceedingly powerful, but unfortunately, Jun Sanqian was more powerful than him.
An immortal light burst out from him as he met Jiang Ming’s attack head-on.
Compared to the last time, Jiang Ming had become a lot stronger. Although his moves were the same, their power had increased by leaps and bounds.
That being said, it was still a tough fight for him.
“Return of Infinite Law Finger!” Jiang Ming shouted, and with this move, he finally defeated Jun Sanqian.
In the next second, his battered body recovered.
On the 11th stage…
“You’ve succeeded. You’re only a Level 9 expert, yet you’ve defeated a Level 12 expert. You truly are remarkable,” Jun Sanqian commented. “However, this is where you stop!” “You’ve flattered me, senior,” Jiang Ming said. “Senior, considering my condition, would I be able to conquer the 12th stage if I ascend to Level 10?”
“I don’t see why you can’t. Even the 13th stage might not be a match for you,” Jun Sanqian replied, “It depends on how far you can go. You have the strongest foundation, and you can break the rules.”
This time, Jiang Ming did not attack Jun Sanqian anymore but left.
After all, it was meaningless for him to fight.
He came to the platform and looked at the Heavenly Ladder before peeling his gaze away. He did not leave. Instead, he came to the Million Dao Chart and sat down. However, he was not going to comprehend some special abilities. He was just going to take a rest.
He had eliminated quite a number of beneficiaries, so he had to absorb and digest the origin essence inside of him. He decided to take this chance and transform his inner world into a real world.
He closed his eyes and focused on his inner world. As time went on, his mastery and understanding of the laws and Dao had become better and better.
On this day, an illusion manifested above Jiang Ming’s head. It was the projection of his inner world. There were mountains, rivers, gullies, and forests, to name a few.
Suddenly, the illusion contorted and began shrinking. The same thing was happening in the inner world as well. The world was shrinking, the mountains were collapsing, and the rivers were disappearing Everything had been destroyed at this moment before turning into a mass of Chaos Qi.
Jiang Ming’s eyes remained closed, and he continued to focus on his inner world.
He knew that this was the most essential step in bringing his inner world to reality. The Chaos Qi exploded and formed into a big empty space in the next moment.
The feeling of illusion was gone. The soil, the sand, the rocks, all of them were real.
The sun, moon, and stars formed in the sky. The sun was rising from the east while the moon was falling in the west.
A strange power was also taking form as the laws came into play and all things evolved.
This power was far better in quality than mana. It was mysterious, and in the end, it was scattered on all sides of the world and integrated into all things.
As the world began to spin, the power was increasing
At the same time, a stream of esoteric aura flowed out, partly injected into the mind and will, causing the soul to be transformed and the Primal Spirit to be elevated.
Part of it also flowed into his flesh, allowing his bones, muscles, blood vessels, internal organs, skin, and so on to all begin to restructure and transform.
It was a vigorous and rapid process.
An excruciating pain assaulted his mind as well, but for today’s Jiang Ming, even a thousand cuts would not make him frown.
The transformation finally ended.
Before he could do anything, a voice echoed into his ears.
[Congratulations Jiang Ming on ascending to Level 10. Now you have two choices, enter the eighth floor of the Supreme Pagoda and take the test or return to the real world. Please choose as soon as possible.]
Jiang Ming was delighted, but then he sighed.
He did not expect that he would immediately step into the Imminent Immortal Realm after his inner world turned into a real world. Despite still having some doubts, he did not hesitate too much and chose to enter the next floor to accept the test.
The test was nothing but a walk in the park for
him.
After passing the three tests, he arrived at the eighth floor of the Supreme Pagoda.
He stood on the platform and looked around. The surroundings were quiet, and there was nobody else here except for him.
After all, there were very few geniuses, and they did not have much choice. Besides, it took a lot of luck for one to get the Supreme Order. It would be difficult to get their hands on one unless one was very lucky.
That being said, getting the Supreme Order was not the end of it. Even if one had gotten the order, it would be useless if they could not pass the test.
Once a candidate failed to pass the test, the Supreme Order would disappear, and it would take many years until it was found again.
In other words, the Supreme Pagoda was very calm.
“It needs two steps for one to reach the Imminent Immortal Realm, so how did I do it? Is it because of the transformation of my inner world?”
With that thought in mind, Jiang Ming began to study what changes had happened to his body.
