Jiang Ming started to become annoyed as he went on a frenzy from his anger and went all out. As such, junior sister fell asleep during the afternoon from exhaustion.
“Phew.” Jiang Ming laid back on his reclining chair and let out a long breath.
‘It becomes monotonous as time goes by.’ He wasn’t bored or frustrated, but was actually numb from doing it.
Jiang Ming secretly communicated with the Supreme Order, entered the Supreme Pagoda and came to his exclusive cultivation space. After slightly checking his own status, he sat cross-legged directly and adjusted his mental state to its peak.
He then took out the Heavenly Dao Sacred Heart Fruit and swallowed the whole thing in one bite. It had a tingling sweetness to it and tasted like cherry.
As soon as he ate the fruit, it turned into a mysterious energy that went straight into his subconscious, fusing into his soul. Immediately after, Jiang Ming felt a black cloud of smoke evaporating from his soul that seeped through his subconscious and dissipated as soon as it was out of his body.
The shrunken soul began to swell. In a blink of an eye, his power began to sky-rocket as though it was never ending.
He progressively underwent sublimation, transformation and condensation of cultivation.
Vaguely, Jiang Ming felt as though he had stepped into the next level, but hadn’t fully advanced into the level just yet.
It was akin to that first night of the bridal chamber. Because of it being too short, the guy could only linger around the entrance and didn’t even manage to penetrate through the membrane.
‘Does this count as breaking and entering? Maybe? Maybe not. Who knows?’
After a very long time, Jiang Ming finally opened his eyes and he was brimming in happiness.
‘The volume and quality of my soul has reached the limits of Saint Dao. No, it has surpassed the limits and now even has some of the characteristics of the King Saint’s. This here is a Quasi-King Saint level soul. It’s truly immortal, indestructible and incorruptible throughout the great chiliocosms. Even if I were to release my soul into the open, a full force attack from a Saint Weapon would find it difficult to destroy it.’
Jiang Ming was pleasantly surprised.
This wasn’t just an ordinary improvement, but a huge improvement at that. He felt that his current soul’s strength was equivalent to that of when he activated the Three Seconds Tenfold Soul Booster Card and merged his subconscious with the Chaos World Tree back at the galaxy.
That was a true power that can really sweep through the entire world.
He was able to be under such a power spike for 3 seconds before this, but he finally could maintain it indefinitely now. Or rather, what if he was to merge his subconscious with the Chaotic World Tree now?
‘How powerful will it be? Would it allow me to even go up against those of the King Saint Realm?’
Jiang Ming’s heart was beating furiously.
Power sourced from a person’s self-confidence. It was the cornerstone of a person’s courage and a favorite trait of men. From a certain point of view, it was charming to be all powerful.
After further consolidating his cultivation, he strived to fully master his soul power that sky-rocketed from ingesting the fruit. Only then did he merge the Long River of Innate Vital Essence of Chaos into his inner world, placing it under the Chaotic World Tree. It was apparent that this Long River of Innate Vital Essence was prepared just for his Chaotic World Tree.
As for the Heart of the Middle Chiliocosm? He merged the heart into the core of his inner world.
Finally, Jiang Ming began to refine the Heaven-Shattering Spear and took stock of the various Dao vessels that he had.
The path of cultivation was extremely dull and boring. However, he managed to have his inner world to improve a lot.
After he finished refining the Heaven-Shattering Spear, Jiang Ming continued to perfect the various special abilities that he had, especially the Infinite Vessel Manipulation Technique. Although he couldn’t completely take control over the enemy’s Saint Weapon, he was now capable of affecting them with ease. As for detonating a Quasi-Sage Weapon, it no longer affected him at all.
However, the Infinite Transcendence Technique was different. Even though the prowess of this technique increased along with his improvement in cultivation base, it still didn’t improve further.
As for the Return of Infinite Law Finger Technique, it was constantly improving and its power was increasing rapidly. This technique was a supreme special ability that merged three thousand laws and three thousand Daos into a single body. With every restructuring and merging of these laws and Daos, its power increased substantially.
Jiang Ming had a feeling that even if this technique of his was merging only the Great Overarching Laws, he believed that he could destroy a whole great chiliocosm with just this finger of his when fully evoked.
Just like the ten numbers having at least 100 million combinations, what about three thousand laws then? Also, there were at least trillions of variation to each of the laws. Which type of fusion would allow this technique to achieve its perfect state?
Jiang Ming didn’t know either.
However, Jiang Ming had the inner world as reference. He was able to gradually move forward with the fusion of these three thousand laws towards its perfect state.
One day, Jiang Ming finally stood up.
‘The Long River of Innate Vital Essence of Chaos has been completely absorbed by the World Tree. Its height has directly reached the level of a thousand light-year. This is simply incredible! Just a single tree turned into a whole galaxy. Fortunately, the starry sky of a middle chiliocosm is enough to withhold the power. Otherwise, my inner world would’ve been busted apart. The middle chiliocosm has also reached its current limit already. If I were to improve further, I’ll have to advance into the great chiliocosm!’
Throughout this session of cultivation, Jiang Ming’s improvement was by no means a little, but a huge one at that.
By only taking into account the benefits reflected from the growth of his World Tree, those resources were already enough to allow his Half-King Saint level soul to go a step further. It seemed that he would be able to really step into the King Saint Realm anytime soon.
His current state was equivalent to having pierced through a small part of the membrane, but yet to have completely broken through. By slightly pushing through with just a little bit more, that membrane would’ve been pierced through with a “pop”.
Even his physique also received beneficial reflection from his inner world’s improvement as his body was constantly undergoing transformation, allowing him to continuously strengthen himself.
“Sigh, I’m improving too fast this time.” Jiang Ming let out a narcissistic sigh.
With a thought in his mind, he appeared at the lower level of the Supreme Pagoda, landing right next to Ye Qingxian. This fairy-like lady was still reading books with great interest here as she always did.
Some of them were left by Luo Heng, but the majority of it came from the friends of the Chat Room. She was ready to learn from the strength of the others and walk on her own path.
“Brother Jiang, long time no see!” Ye Qingxian became extremely delighted as she put down her books and hurriedly made tea.
“It’s been a while.” Jiang Ming sat across from her. After all, a thousand years in the outside world was equivalent to a day in the Supreme Pagoda. Jiang Ming hasn’t visited her for a few days already.
“How is it?” Jiang Ming accepted the cup of tea from her, took a sip and asked with a smile.
“Same old same old.” Ye Qingxian replied, “I read books in my spare time, practice my cultivation occasionally and chatted with the other members from the Chat Room from time to time. How about you? I’ve heard from Luo Heng that you’ve been showing off back at his place, destroying dozens of experts whose cultivation bases are equivalent to the Saints in just one battle. That was really unimaginable.”
It was more than unimaginable. When Luo Heng told this story, almost no one among their Chat Room believed him.
After all, it might’ve been possible that Jiang Ming had ascended into the Saint Realm. However, to be able to destroy dozens of Saints right after just advancing into the Saint Realm itself?
Wasn’t that just pulling on people’s legs?
Luo Heng’s words were so convincing that they had to believe it was true. This was especially the case when it was about Jiang Ming, their former Group Admin who had realized so many miracles before already.
In Dongfang Chenxi’s words, ‘I would’ve believed it even if you said that Brother Jiang has sanctified the great Dao.’
“You can do it in the future too!” Jiang Ming smiled.
As for Luo Heng exposing these stories? Luo Heng had already asked the avatar from over his universe, saying that it was too torturous not to share such an overwhelming battle record of his.
Jiang Ming himself no longer minded if the others knew that he could descend into the other realms. He had been hiding about it long enough. Moreover, now that he had advanced into the Saint Realm, there was really no reason to continue hiding about it.
“Me too?” Ye Qingxian smiled and shook her head, “I don’t have the slightest confidence!”
“As long as you stay here and keep accumulating, improving, and advancing further, you will be able to advance into the Saint Realm sooner or later.” Jiang Ming pointed towards the Battle Towers.
Ye Qingxian nodded her head in response. “If it goes on like this, I might really have hope of doing so.” After a slight pause, she became extremely prideful as she remarked, “It’s just a few Saints! If Brother Jiang can kill them, so can I!”
“Haha! That’s the self-confidence and pride that you should have!” Jiang Ming laughed out loud and continued, “Would you like to return? The troubles back in your world can be resolved already.”
Ye Qingxian hesitated at first, but finally shook her head and said emotionally, “Now that there’s no longer anything that I hold dear there, does it even matter if I return? It’s better for me to continue my cultivation here. It’s much quieter here and I feel at more ease. It’s just that I would like Brother Jiang to come to see me every so often in the future. Even better if you bring over something good to eat and drink!”
“Alright then. If you do want to return, just tell me anytime!” As Jiang Ming replied to her, he could feel his Supreme Order vibrating and realized that it was a private chat prompt from Dongfang Chenxi. “Brother Jiang Ming, did you really advance into the Saint Realm? Can you really take down a Saint now?”
“Of course, Chenxi. Did something happen?” Jiang Ming’s heart couldn’t help but sink as he quickly replied to the message.
The person who was the closest to him within the chat group was indisputably Dongfang Chenxi. She was the one who offered help when he was still weak. Although Dongfang Chenxi didn’t descend over his realm to help him out, Jiang Ming had always remembered her kindness in his heart.
Hearing her asking such a question now, Jiang Ming had a bad feeling in his heart.
Dongfang Chenxi: “Sob, sob. Brother Jiang! My father was targeted by the Saint Sect and is now being trapped in a huge formation. Everyone said that he will be killed soon. Brother Jiang Ming, can you come over? Ah! That’s not good! The palace gate over at my place has been breached…”
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Ming’s expression took a dive.
