Jiang Ming made a simple dinner for himself. After eating his food, he earned five days’ worth of cultivation base.
The wind was blowing strong outside, but there was no wind on the inside.
The sky was spotted with many stars, and he was so bored that he wished he could take one down to play with it.
Swoosh!
Since he had nothing to do right now, he opened up the Human Paths Record.
Senior Sister Momo still retained her cultivation base, but she was told to guard the medicinal field and was not allowed to leave without permission.
It was considered a good ending as well.
Instead of returning to Red Mountain Palace, Bai Zizhi stayed on the east coast.
“I must find a chance and get rid of him after I’ve broken through,” said Jiang Ming.
Although Jiang Ming was much stronger right now than when he was chased by him, Jiang Ming still did not have the confidence that he could defeat him.
A martial artist in the Paradis Realm was too powerful. They had the ability to manifest the image of a heavenly cave and affected a wide area. It would be hard to get near to them and kill them in a sneak attack under that kind of condition.
Zi Linglong took a deep breath inside the room and opened her eyes. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her lips as she said, “My Dao Seed has transformed into the Pure Sun Dao Seed, and I have the Phoenix Warrior Body after my bloodline evolved. Taking down a martial artist in the Primal Spirit Realm would be a breeze with my special abilities and secret arts!”
She had been reborn, so she needed to start everything anew.
It was harder to refine the bloodline, as she needed to do it step by step. On the contrary, raising her realm was much easier. That being said, she still needed to communicate with the universe and accumulate bit by bit after receiving the blessing. After all, there was nothing such as a free lunch in this world.
Also, the Jiuyang Sect did not have enough resources to support her.
Her current achievement was all thanks to The Tomb of Extreme Path of Yun Tiankong that she had come across last time. Otherwise, she reckoned that she would have needed to take a longer time to reach what she had today.
“Absorbing the essence of the universe into one’s body to become one with nature. This is cultivation!”
After being reborn, she had a better understanding of cultivation than she was used to in the past.
“The next step is to transform extreme Yang into extreme Yin, comprehend the Yin-Yang Sambodha, and form the Yin-Yang Dao Seed. This way, only I can go father without any worries in the future.
“Then…”
Zi Linglong’s eyes glittered. There was a subtle spatial wave and a Dao rhythm around her, but all of them eventually fell silent.
She had a clear plan for her future.
Zi Linglong came down from her bed and walked to the window. She opened the window and looked at her Senior Brother, who was standing on the rooftop in front of her. The hard lines on her face melted away, and a gentle expression appeared.
“I can abandon everyone, but I will never abandon my Senior Brother!” Zi Linglong mumbled.
At that moment, nothing was more important than her Senior Brother.
“Senior Brother!” she shouted while approaching him.
The night sky was boundless, and the stars were dancing here and there happily.
Both of them sat on rattan chairs and looked at the starry sky.
“How is your cultivation going?”
“Great! Senior Brother, you’ve already perfected the Foundation Establishment Realm, so when are you going to step into the Golden Core Realm?”
“That can wait.”
“Let me know when you’re going to break into the Golden Core Realm. I’ll guard you!”
“Thank you, Linglong. That’s really assuring.”
Both of them chatted and time flew past rapidly.
The next day, at the back of the mountain…
“Senior Brother, this is so awesome. All of the blades of Azure Silver Grass have ripened!” Zi Linglong exclaimed as she hopped here and there amongst the blades of grass, looking just like a happy rabbit.
“I’ve heard that it’s challenging to raise spiritual medicine. Not only do we have to ward the pests off, but we also need to pay attention to the changes of spiritual essence in the air. We even need to sprinkle crushed spirit crystals on them as nourishment and water them frequently. However, even if we’ve done everything, we can’t guarantee the survival rate!”
“Well, since I have a lot of time, I might as well put it to good use,” Jiang Ming replied simply.
However, what he did not tell Zi Linglong was that raising spiritual medicine was really a tedious process. Just like a farmer taking care of his crops, he had to come to the back mountain every day to check on their condition from time to time and to stop the pests from destroying these spiritual medicines.
The silver lining was that his effort had finally paid off, and he could harvest them now.
“Senior Brother, while you’re cultivating these spiritual medicines, you still manage to make time to prepare meals for me every day, brew wine, take care of the crops, and you even have entered the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm! If anyone still dares to say you’re slow in your cultivation, I’m going to bring him to the Restraining Tower!” Zi Linglong said in a serious manner.
“You’re a girl, and as a girl, you need to be more gentle. Besides, I’m your Senior Brother, so of course, I can’t be too useless. Or else, I’ll be in a lot of stress.” Jiang Ming smiled and shook his head.
“Senior Brother, you just live your life as you wish and leave everything else to me,” Zi Linglong said as she patted her chest.
“You really have a honey tongue, do you know that?”
“Hehe, I know I have a honey tongue, but how did you know that, Senior Brother?”
“Ahem, stop making fun of me!”
“Alright, alright! What should we do with these blades of Azure Silver Grass, Senior Brother?”
“Well, I have no idea yet.”
As they were talking, they had finished harvesting the Azure Silver Grass. Some of them had wilted, so they got 2,600 blades of Azure Silver Grass in the end.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host on his first massive harvest of entry-grade spiritual medicine. A special reward of 2,600 years of cultivation base and a Three-Minute Extreme Path Experience Card has been given to the host as rewards!]
Jiang Ming blinked his eyes.
Although he seemed emotionless on the surface, he was greatly surprised inwardly.
‘I can’t believe I got so many years of cultivation as a reward. Is it because this is my first time?’ he thought.
He then commanded and the information about the Three-Minute Extreme Path Experience Card appeared in his mind
[Using the host’s current cultivation base as a template to extrapolate the strength of reaching the peak of the Extreme Path Realm. Once activated, it cannot be stopped, and the host will be granted the battle power of the Extreme Path Realm for 3 minutes.]
“Using me as a template?” Jiang Ming exclaimed, disbelief thick in his voice.
Judging from his current situation, if he could have the power of the Extreme Path Realm, he was confident that he could slay even a martial artist in the Imminent Immortal Realm. He felt this was really a great item, but it was such a shame that it lasted for three minutes.
‘Why can’t it last for a bit longer? This is no fun at all!’ he thought.
“Senior Brother, are we still going to grow the Azure Silver Grass?” Linglong asked as she looked at the harvest in front of her.
“Nope. Let’s wait for a while!”
As soon as Jiang Ming finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a figure through the corner of his eyes. He turned his head and realized that it was Zhang Junbao. He was waving his hand as he approached them.
“Senior Brother? Did something happen” Jiang Ming asked as he went closer to Zhang Junbao.
Zi Linglong followed suit as well.
“A big thing happened!” Zhang Junbai replied. He did not go into the courtyard. Instead, he stood at the reception platform and smiled bitterly. “Someone challenged Junior Sister Linglong to a battle!”
“I thought we closed our mountain?” Jiang Ming frowned.
“They’re from Zhong Province. They have a big background, so do you think we can say no when they said they wanted to pay us a visit? No, we can’t!” Zhang Junbai said helplessly. “Their objective is simple. They heard that Junior Sister Linglong has the phoenix bloodline, so they want to have a match with her. They told us that they would like to have a match with every genius or people with special bloodlines in Eastern Region.”
“Our Sect Master is already in the Primal Spirit Realm. He can’t stop them?” Zi Linglong chimed in, frowning deeply.
Zhang Junbao shook his head. “We’re going up against the 18th Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Not only is he surrounded by a martial artist in the Primal Spirit Realm and many other geniuses, but there are also many powerful beings protecting him from the dark. Our Sect Master has rejected their demand, but they refuse to listen. They have defeated many sects and powerful clans as they travel across the continent. Nobody can defeat them!”
“Are they really that powerful?” Jiang Ming asked.
“They’re not only powerful… They’re monsters!” Zhang Junbai added, “A few of the youngsters that follow the 18th Prince have already conquered our Tower of Trials! And they’re only in the Golden Core Realm!”
Jiang Ming was rendered speechless.
In the Jiuyang Sect, only his Junior Sister had managed to conquer the Tower of Trials, but now these outsiders could clear it without any difficulty?
This was absolutely a disgrace!
“Senior Brother, should I go meet them?” Zi Linglong asked as she looked into the distance.
Jiang Ming was looking in the same direction as well.
They saw many figures flying toward the main peak.. In particular, one of them exuded such a domineering aura that it would make everything lower their head in obedience and yield to him.
