Jiang Ming stood as stiff as a ramrod on the staircase.
Suddenly, his surroundings turned dark and he couldn’t see anything past his fingers. However, a bright light erupted from his soul and lit up the entire space.
“Earth Core Sword!”
A deep, booming voice rang out from the depths of his soul. In the next second, the glittering stars in the distance gave off a brilliant light. They began to swirl around in a circle, and very soon, a long sword that pierced through the universe and star appeared.
It was glowing yellow and it seemed heavy. It seemed as if it was formed from the power of earth itself.
The sword rose, the starry sky shook. When the sword fell, the universe was destroyed.
Jiang Ming frowned deeply as he came out of the Nine Layer Stellar Pagoda.
Bam…
The sword fell, crashing through the world membrane and headed straight at the Stellar Pagoda. A piercing sound that sent shivers down his spine rang out, and the Stellar Pagoda began to crack.
“This attack has gathered the power of the earth!”
Jiang Ming had an incredible eyesight and he saw right through the essence of the attack.
It seemed like the power of the stars, but when he gave it a second thought, the stars were planets themselves as well.
At this moment, another voice rang out.
“Humanity Core Sword!”
As the voice erupted, countless light dots appeared around him and various noises emerged one after another. There was laughter of joy, sobbing cries, cursing grievances, hateful killing intent, roaring rage, hissing beasts, and so on.
The sound was like a torrent, and as the light coalesced and turned into a multicolored sword, it became louder and louder like a thunderclap, resounding through the world.
He felt annoyed and his heart began to race.
When the sword fell, Jiang Ming’s expression changed.
Even though he was annoyed by various voices in his mind and wanted to go crazy, he was able to keep himself calm. In the meantime, he also realized something. The Earth Core Sword drew power from the ground.
In other words, the Humanity Core Sword amassed the power from humans.
‘I’m afraid this is the end for me!’ Jiang Ming thought inwardly. A brilliant light erupted from the depths of his heart. There were traces of all the laws, the imprint of civilization, the light of wisdom, and the hope of the future. All of them formed into a sword energy as he shouted, “Celestial Heart Sword, slash!”
This was a mental attack technique that he had developed himself..
Bam…
The sword energy rose, silencing all the sounds, sweeping away all the darkness, and also shattering the Humanity Core Sword.
He turned his head around and realized that his sword energy was on the verge of breaking as well.
“Heaven Core Sword!”
Without giving him a second to take a breather, another sword energy came at him from the depths of the universe.
Jiang Ming’s heart trembled and he hastily activated the Celestial Heart Word again. It was just this time, it was his sword that got crushed.
The Heaven Core Sword was too powerful. Even the Nine Level Stellar Pagoda couldn’t stop its attack.
“Stellar Flare!”
Jiang Ming was stunned and he immediately activated another secret technique. He ignited the broken Stellar Pagoda and threw it toward the Heaven Core Sword.
The sword energy disappeared in the end, and a sword mark appeared on his soul.
He squinted his eyes and his mind returned.
Drip…
A drop of sweat fell to the ground and Jiang Ming heaved out a sigh of relief.
“The Heaven Core Sword is indeed powerful. Luckily, I was able to neutralize the attack. If not, I would certainly be done for,” Jiang Ming said.
Then, a grin appeared on his face.
He had passed the 63rd level.He lifted his head and looked at the 64th level. This level corresponded to the willpower of a Saint Lord.
“Maybe I should give it a try!” Jiang Ming took a deep breath and stepped on the 64th level.
As soon as his feet landed on the staircase, a giganti finger appeared on top of his sea ofconsciousness. The finger fell and crushed the world membrane, the Nine Level Stellar Pagoda, and the Celestial Heart Sword without any difficulty.
His vision turned black, and by the time he opened his eyes again, he was already back on the 63rd level.
“How is this possible? Why is the difference so big?” Jiang Ming wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and there was a shadow of fear lingered on his face.
“Unless I come across a great opportunity and my inner world evolves again, there’s no way I can get past that level.”
With that thought in his mind, Jiang Ming returned to the lotus platform.
When he saw how many points he had right now, his eyes glowed with happiness.
Although he only managed to pass three levels, he had gotten a total of three million points.
Name: Jiang Ming.
Cultivation Base: Level 14 (Golden Immortal Realm).
Points Accumulated: 2,3509,999 (10,717,888 + 4,080,000 + 6,060,0000).
Honor: [Heavenly Immortal Realm: Battle tower (37 stages), Heavenly Ladder (42 levels)], [True Immortal Realm: The fifth battle tower: (Stage 2 to 5), Heavenly Ladder (43 to 45 levels], [Mystical Immortal Realm: The fifth battle tower (Stage 6 to 9), the sixth battle tower (Stage 1), Heavenly Ladder (46 to 47 levels)], [Golden Immortal Realm: The sixth battle tower (Stage 2 to 9), the seventh battle tower (Stage 1 to 4), Heavenly Ladder (49 to 63 levels)].
He had a lot of points, but he did not know where to spend them.
He then returned to the real world.
Although he had spent a lot of time in the Supreme Pagoda, it had only been an hour in the world outside.
“Senior brother, were you cultivating in seclusion for a long time again?” Phoenix Linglong asked. She sensed the faint aura of indifference from Jiang Ming, so she jumped and threw herself into his arms.
“Yeah!” Jiang Ming nodded. In the next second, his eyes widened. “Hey, stop that! Hey! Ouch! Be gentle! That’s the most tender part of my body. How can you be so rough?”
“I’m rough?” Phoenix Linglong was stunned. Then, she pouted, “Senior brother, how can you, a man, say that I’m rough? I’m a girl, you know? You’re the one who’s rough here.”
“Oh, really? Then maybe I should show you how rough I can be!”
Phoenix Linglong squinted her eyes as she exerted more strength on her hand, causing Jiang Ming to groan in pain and excitement.
The next morning.
The sun rose from the east and cast its brilliance over the land.
Jiang Ming got up from the bed and rubbed his back.
He looked at the sun and sighed.
“Well, it’s not a good thing when my junior sister becomes so strong!” He mumbled.
He looked through his ingredients, and he felt disgusted when he saw most of them were seafoods.
In the end, he cooked a pot of porridge and a few dishes.
After he had finished his meal, he said, “It’s time to get moving!”
He obtained a low-grade spiritual root after he had finished his meal. Then, he rose up to his feet and flew into the air.
