His opponent was Jun Sanqian, who was considered an old friend already.
For Jiang Ming, Jun Sanqian was akin to his mentor in life. How could he not be happy?
“We are meeting again!” A smile appeared on Jun Sanqian’s ruthless face, “Not bad! Not bad at all! You’ve already conjured it up to a small chiliocosm, yet maintained at the Heavenly Immortal Realm! Perfect! Your physique is also corresponding to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Although the power is not as great as the inner world, it’s still terrifyingly strong.”
He paused for a while, and continued preaching, “Looking over the various universes, your path of cultivation is definitely in the higher ranks, otherwise, your physique wouldn’t be this strong. Baptism of the core through the inner world coupled with such cultivation of the external physique. Tsk, tsk, tsk! Your current powerful state is not ordinary indeed. I was far inferior to you when I was your age.”
“That’s because of your great advice, senior!” Jiang Ming replied with a smile and continued: “Senior, are you guarding all seven of the Battle Towers?”
“Well, that depends on my mood!” Jun Sanqian answered, and continued, “Stop calling me senior. I’ll become old if you keep calling me that. You can call me Brother Jun or Old Brother in the future.”
“This… This seems inappropriate.”
“How is this inappropriate? Your cultivation base will be stronger than mine in the future soon, so just don’t make me call you a senior.”
“Stronger than you? Old brother, I dare not think about it!”
“You have the potential!”
The two of them continued to chat and reminisced for a while longer.
Jiang Ming finally voiced his doubts and asked, “Old Brother, is there an even higher level above this level in the Supreme Pagoda?”
“Don’t think too much and just remember one thing.” Jun Sanquan turned a little more serious and continued, “Accumulate and continue to accumulate desperately. Accumulate to the point that you can no longer do so. Do this for each and every realm that you are in. It is then that you can only go even further. Well, the world is very, very big, far bigger than what you can imagine.”
“Exceeding the chaotic domain?”
“I can’t tell, I can’t tell.”
“One last question, Old Brother. In this level of Supreme Pagoda, it is difficult to accumulate points, extremely difficult. However, it is easy for a person like myself who walks on the path of World Dao. It’s not just easy, but a lot easier when compared to others. Isn’t this considered somewhat of a loophole?”
“Loophole?” JunSanqian gave him a weird smile and continued explaining, “Do you really think that within the same cultivation realm, the World Dao is the strongest already?”
“Isn’t it?” Jiang Ming wondered, “My inner world has already evolved into a small chiliocosm. Its power is akin to the power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. If I burst out my powers, I can even kill a Taiyi Golden Immortal Expert yet my cultivation realm is but only of the Heavenly Immortal.”
“First off, your cultivation technique is very special, which has led your mind and will to be tempered to such a terrifying level. Even your physique has also transfigured into an unimaginable level.” There was a strange look on Jun Sanqian’s face as he continued explaining, “For the other World Dao’s cultivators such as Dongfang Chenxi, their physiques are very ordinary! If she wants to temper her physical body to a very strong level, she must naturally improve her physical body’s cultivation realm.”
“Physical bodies have cultivation realms?” Jiang Ming was taken aback at this new information.
“Well of course!” Jun Sanqian nodded and continued, “That’s why your cultivation technique is truly terrifying! If a person’s physical body is ordinary, then the power of the inner world that a person can mobilize will be correspondingly much lesser. To simply put it, the physical body is the vessel, the channel to output energy. No matter how strong a person’s inner world’s power is, what use would it be if the person cannot mobilize them! Continue taking her as an example, even if her inner world has evolved into a small chiliocosm, she won’t even be able to take down a Golden Immortal expert, let alone a Taiyi Immortal expert. In the mortal realm, simply relying on your background can greatly improve a person’s combat ability. However, after stepping into the Immortal Realm, the rest will be difficult as you can only rely on yourself. Dongfang Chenxi’s perseverance is average as well as the special ability that she is cultivating. Even if her inner world evolves into a small chiliocosm, at the initial level, it would already be good if she can take down a Mysterious Immortal Expert!”
He paused for a while and continued, “After all, the path of the World Dao is different from the others. For the inner world to be materialized, the body has to be able to carry such a burden, which has its advantages and disadvantages. Of course, there are very few that can reach your level. Similarly, after evolving into small chiliocosm, if you want to further increase the rate of power output. You will have to improve your physical body. It’s extremely difficult to improve the physical body unless you break into the next realm. When a person’s physical body ascends into the True Immortal Realm, he is considered as a True Immortal, even if his cultivation base is still of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.”
“I understand now!” Jiang Ming felt as if his mind was suddenly enlightened.
He had long noticed this phenomenon.
It was especially apparent when he evoked the Return of Infinite Law Finger Technique which had high requirements on a person’s physical body. He sometimes felt an extremely strong oppression pressing down on him as though it was difficult to bear such an outburst of power from this technique.
All these while, Jiang Ming did not deliberately tempered his body.
He only focused on the cultivation of the Grand Path Almighty Method Sutra, tempering his will and strengthening his physical body.
His cultivation realm and physical realm had been improving hand in hand as he went on.
“Comparatively speaking, the advantages of the World Dao are still very huge. However, this path is extremely difficult.” Jun Sanqian continued again, “Continuing on the topic just now, although the accumulation of the World Dao is terrifying with powerful energy outbursts, there are still some special beings out there that can potentially completely overwhelm this Dao.”
“Completely overwhelmed?” Jiang Ming drew a breath of cold air in shock.
“How is that possible?” He still couldn’t believe this. He knew how crazy the World Dao was. Taking himself as an example, he was in the Heavenly Immortal Realm and could fight against the Taiyi experts. Who would believe him? I’m afraid there weren’t any, even in the Supreme Pagoda.
“There are some special beings whose origins are terrifyingly powerful, far beyond your imagination.” Jun Sanqian explained, “I’ll give you an example. Assuming that there is this type of being that is the favorite of the space. As it grows, each of his cells can form its own space. It’s like the human body. How many cells are there and how many of these spaces could be produced? These spaces could even materialize from illusions and become a variety of existences that is similar to the Paradis. What’s crazier is that each of these spatial cells can even evolve into a world.”
“There’s such an existence?” Jiang Ming was dumbfounded.
“Of course! The great chiliocosm is full of wonders.” Jun Sanqian smiled and continued, “There’s also a lifeform that is born from the Chaos Vital Essence. How strong do you think it would be?”
“This…” Jiang Ming’s hair was standing at its end.
He knew how terrifying the Chaos Vital Essence was. When he first got a wisp of it, it greatly promoted the evolution of his inner world. Imagine a body filled with such an entity: Every move would only mean catastrophic disasters.
“There are still quite a number of similar beings,” Jun Sanqian smiled, “However, they are also extraordinarily rare. In the early stages, they might look extremely terrifying, invincible among its peers, but it is hard to say in the later stages. Just like the current you who can wrench wrist with any geniuses already. Of course, such beings are normally born a True Immortal, Golden Immortal or even of the Great Overarching Golden Immortal Realm.”
“Old brother, you’re just beating me down! Jiang Ming smiled bitterly, “However, this really broadened my knowledge. I will have to travel through the Infinite Realm and see the wonders of great chiliocosms if I have the chance.”
“It’s the right choice to travel around out there and see more of the world. Your potential will naturally increase. Broadening of horizons is extremely beneficial to a person’s cultivation and enlightenment!” Jun Sanqian agreed and smiled, “I told you all these so that you know there’s always someone stronger out there. However, you shouldn’t worry too much about it. Those beings are considered special beings and are extremely rare to be found. Such a lifeform may not necessarily appear even from the birth of a great chiliocosm to the chiliocosm’s own destruction.”
“So few of them?” Jiang Ming was shocked once again.
“Well, a few of them or not, it depends on where you see them!” Jun Sanqian added indifferently as the might of his aura rose and spread out in a mighty manner, “Alright! Let’s start. Let’s see what you’re made of! *Cough* Though, with my current state, I won’t be able to see your true combat ability. Make your move. Maybe you might be able to snatch the position as the chat group’s leader. The current group leader position is no longer as non-beneficial as the previous one.”
“There’s even benefits to the group leaders?” Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up.
“Of course there is!” Terrifying rays of light already burst out from the long Sword in Jun Sanqian’s hand, where its overwhelming power could even cut down a True Immortal, “Remember! The strong will only get stronger! The better your talents are, the more benefits you will get.”
Jiang Ming nodded in agreement. Such a saying is true everywhere, after all.
