The 10 ancient clans had called up a meeting and had a few conclusions.
First, the Demon Holy Palace and the other forces had been united to fight against them.
Second, they didn’t initiate a great war but killed one of each clan as a warning because they were afraid of the 10 ancient clans’ revolts.
Third, the reason why they were spreading news about Chong Shan as an avatar of the Heavenly Emperor was to divide the 10 ancient clans. Once the plan was succeeded, the 10 ancient clans wouldn’t be far away from being exterminated. After all, the 10 ancient clans had massacred a lot in ancient times.
Fourth, the 10 ancient clans shall mobilize all their powers to monitor external situations.
Fifth, the 10 ancient clans shall be closing their doors, acting in low-profile and stop provoking any issues.
Sixth, the 10 ancient clans shall work more closely together.
As for fighting against the Tianyuan Realm? The idea was suppressed in an instant when one Venerate raised it up. After all, the 10 ancient clans had to weasel out of the predicament first.
Jiang Ming laughed.
He continued flipping through the Human Path Record to check on Heavenly Buddha and the likes. It was as expected, these oldies were all stunned after they learned about the news.
They were certain that they were not the one who did the slaughtering, and were wondering why their special abilities had been applied. They thought someone might have put the blame on them or some forces might have united to stir up chaos in the world.
The Heavenly Buddha was magnanimous enough to take the initiative in contacting experts such as Vermilion Bird and Dragon Monarch. Heavenly Buddha couldn’t believe that all of them told him they were not the culprits.
The seed of doubts had thereby planted in all their minds. With their unstable and improbable relationships, they became doubly vigilant against each other.
These findings had made Jiang Ming guffawed.
“Just give me another 80 years, and I’ll grate all of you on the ground, harshly!” He reached out and grabbed with a firm grip. If it wasn’t because of the requirement of the system that limited his movement, he would have gone to cultivate in the Hongmeng Primordial Land of the Supreme Pagoda. He was merely waiting for the time to pass.
Even though he didn’t care about the forces of Vermilion Bird and the likes, he didn’t want to be disturb. Now that he had taken his move, he would have a relatively long period of peace. Moreover, with his particularity, who would dare to simply fight against him?
“Little Phoenix!”
“Senior Brother, anything?”
“Life is too boring!”
“Humph, you want to bully me again. Anyway, what about me taking the initiative this time?”
“You taking the initiative? Don’t tell me you know some special position?”
“I’ve just learned 72 methods in total. They’re just nice to be applied to you!”
“You are murdering your husband, aren’t you? C’mon, I’ll just standstill!”
“Lay down!”
“Sure!”
Jiang Ming had been very docile. However, he felt somewhat miserable at the end of the day.
Time flew by quickly because it waited for no one.
Things were fickle. In the Jiuyang Sect, there were people breaking through almost every day. Hence, the sect was getting stronger as more people became immortals.
Even though they didn’t go out, they would have a large amount of cultivating resources. They could even temper themselves in the various types of space evoked by the Dao vessels provided by Jiang Ming.
Hence, there were more and more experts in the sect, even in the entire Tianyuan Realm.
The first to achieve the Golden Immortal Ream, was unexpected even by Jiang Ming. He was neither Xi Yao nor Hao Chen, the Peak Master of Shaoyang Peak, but Ye Ming, who had joined Jiuyang Sect.
This former peerless genius of Tianyuan School, had Space Illusion Divine Body. Under such a perfect cultivation environment, his potential had been excitated, and he improved himself at a fast pace, faster than everyone else.
His breakthrough was followed by Xi Yao, Hao Chen, Sect Leader Yan Yan, Liu Changkong, and others.
As for the Immortal Realm? More than half of the Tianyuan Realm’s residents had become immortal. It was in fact, due to many of the commoners starting late.
Every resident had actually started cultivating long ago. What’s more surprising was that many of the new born babies had strong special body types. Some even had the Innate Dao Body. Such was extremely unbelievable.
Even when Mountain Master Tian Yuan witnessed all of these, he couldn’t help exclaim joyfully that this Tianyuan Realm was indeed blessed by great Dao, and fate.
Jiang Ming only smiled when he heard the remarks. It was because he knew it was due to the system, not fate.
Time had never stopped. Day after day, the sun and moon had been taking turns to carry out respective responsibilities.
On this day, Jiang Ming did a stretch after he had a good sleep. He looked at the sun in the east, feeling good.
“Thirty years have gone in a blink of an eye. Time has passed really fast!” Jiang Ming lamented.
It was only about a month before the 50-years period was up.
He had also turned 68 years old. He was already an old man if it was based on the calculation of the mortal world. Hence, he was supposed to be enjoying spending time with his family of three generations. Nevertheless, he didn’t only have a child, his Junior Sister Phoenix had left.
His Junior Sister Linglong came back ten years ago. Because of the competition in the Inheritance Space, she needed to cultivate whole-heartedly. Hence, she brought away all nine clones along with her after her stay for a period of time.
He was currently living in serenity, purifying his mind and diminishing his desires. Nevertheless, he wasn’t very free because he had to cultivate inside the Supreme Pagoda often.
Currently, he had comprehended all 3,000 Taiyi Laws, and had accumulated the inner world’s origin to the unprecedented limit. Hence, he had achieved two requirements out of three to evolve his inner world.
It was only his soul that had yet to transform into the Saint Soul. Although he had gone half way through, the last step was too difficult.
Jiang Ming did feel he could go for the middle chiliocosm at any time, and had a higher percentage to break through smoothly. But he didn’t want to gamble with his life. He had, after all, sufficient time to do so. Therefore, he thought it would be better that he broke through only after he was 100 percent confident about it.
“Brother!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan paced over through the sky and landed beside Jiang Ming. He sat directly on the bence, and picked up the teapot. As he pulled, a fresh spring water was injected into the teapot.
Flame was ignited beneath the teapot automatically, and in a blink of an eye, water vapor began surging.
Mountain Master Tian Yuan grabbed a few tea leaves and put them into the teapot, boiling them. In just a moment, the fragrance permeated the air.
“Your tea leaves here are still the best!” As Mountain Master Tian Yuan smelled the tea fragrance, he complimented. Then, he poured himself two cups.
“Big brother, it’s not that I didn’t give you, yet you still come here for it!” Jiang Ming sat opposite him, speechless.
“Isn’t it too lonely to be alone?” Mountain Master Tian Yuan picked up a teacup, blew it, and took a sip, which filled his mouth cavity. “Brother, do you know the intention of coming over?”
“Are you preparing to break through to the middle stage of the Quasi-Sage Realm?”
“Haha, I know I can’t hide it from you. I thought I won’t have a chance for the breakthrough anymore. I didn’t expect to have such promising improvement since I got here, and I’m about to break through to the middle stage of the Quasi-Sage Realm.”
“Congratulations!”
“C’mon, don’t just say it!”
“What do you need?”
“Tea leaves!”
“I knew it!” Jiang Ming said helplessly, “It’s on the rack there, isn’t it? You can take it anytime.”
“I’m stealing if I take it without asking!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan grabbed, and two bottles of tea leaves fell on his embrace, and then disappeared. “These are enough for a few years.”
“You’re too polite, aren’t you? Anyway, there’s something else right?”
“Aren’t you aware of it?”
“I do!” Jiang Ming took a sip, and rose to his feet looking around. “There are more immortals in the Tianyuan Realm but our Tianyuan Realm appears to be too small that many wanted to go out exploring.”
He had been aware of it a long time ago.
