Chapter 2546: Chapter 2549: Mischievous Little Girl

"Forget it, I won’t ask!"

Before Jiang Chen could answer, Yan Yufei’s voice resounded again, "But there’s a problem with your cultivation!"

"What problem?"

The words startled Jiang Chen, and he quickly inquired within his sea of consciousness.

Yan Yufei was an enigmatic expert of unknown caliber, her insight far superior to his own.

"Kid, while understanding more of the Great Dao is generally stronger, it’s not absolute. You’ve comprehended the seven fundamental great paths, the two fundamental extreme paths, and the Origin Path and Spatial Path; that’s already complete. Adding the Path of Ice is excessive. Nine is the limit, ten is full, and beyond that, it becomes incongruous! If you can’t part with the Path of Ice, you’ll never gather Dao seeds in your lifetime!"

Yan Yufei’s voice, tinged with surprise, echoed in his sea of consciousness.

Observing the nine Great Dao Wheel of Lights and two origin powers surrounding the vague primordial spirit, Yan Yufei mused inwardly, how can someone have such comprehension? Isn’t this the understanding in the Path of the Dragon, as Lord Ancestral Dragon described it? If this kid doesn’t meet an untimely end, he may truly reach that unique realm spoken of by Lord Ancestral Dragon!

"So that’s it!"

The vague primordial spirit revealed Jiang Chen’s visage.

Gazing at the ice path’s origin power, Jiang Chen realized, "No wonder I couldn’t gather the Thunder Path’s Great Dao Wheel of Light; it’s because of this!"

"Kid, do you plan to directly gather Dao seeds when you break through to the Void Refinement Realm?"

Yan Yufei softly asked Jiang Chen.

"Yes."

Jiang Chen nodded as if it were obvious.

"That’s wrong!"

Yan Yufei shook her head, "That method may unify your power sooner, but it lacks a lot of Great Dao comprehension. Great Dao comprehension differs between the Void Refinement and Divine Infant Realms. Although your Great Dao Wheel of Light is complete, it hasn’t reached the perfect level."

"Perfect!?"

Jiang Chen blinked, looking at Yan Yufei in confusion.

"You don’t know?"

Yan Yufei was momentarily surprised, whispering, "Is it a gap in inheritance, or are you just ignorant?"

Jiang Chen’s face showed slight embarrassment.

"Great Dao Wheels of Light have three levels: the first is an incomplete wheel, the second is a complete or full wheel, and the third is a perfect wheel."

"A complete wheel is smooth and round, while a perfect wheel restrains its radiance, concentrating its power without dazzling colors, yet possessing immense strength. A perfect wheel is a manifestation of supreme potential."

Yan Yufei softly explained, "Of course, not all supreme beings possess a perfect wheel, but cultivators with a perfect wheel who successfully condense a perfect Dao seed will break the dao seed and form a perfect domain, destined to become supreme experts!"

"Perfect Great Dao Wheel!"

Jiang Chen murmured, a flicker of doubt in his eyes, "Outside, there’s a girl who’s the daughter of the Canglan Great Emperor, and she’s also the Son of Heavenly Dao, but she too aims to gather Dao seeds during her breakthrough to the Void Refinement Realm, this..."

"Canglan Great Emperor? I don’t know."

Yan Yufei was momentarily confused, then ignored it and softly said, "If that Canglan Great Emperor is also a supreme expert, he should know the benefits of a perfect wheel. The fact he hasn’t instructed his daughter to gather a perfect wheel first means she lacks the talent."

"The talent for the Son of the Great Dao also varies in strength, what you have is the highest caliber. Not consolidating a perfect wheel before gathering Dao seeds would be a waste."

"Your talent has never appeared, even in ancient times! No wonder Lord Xue Kuang gifted you innate dragon qi to protect your sea of consciousness. Additionally, this immortal sensed Lord Ancestral Dragon’s aura lingering around you; it seems the two lords have been watching you for a while!"

Jiang Chen nodded at her words, a look of understanding flashing through his eyes.

He glanced sideways at the origin power of the ice path, his eyes showing a hint of bold resolution.

"Young Master, are you alright?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Just as Jiang Chen was about to act, Yan Hu’s voice echoed from the outside.

No need to hurry.

Jiang Chen muttered softly, bidding farewell to Yan Yufei, and his consciousness returned to his body.

Yan Yufei looked at Jiang Chen’s primordial spirit, sensing hints of Lu Zheng’s presence. She knew it was residual from when Lu Zheng aided Jiang Chen in refining his primordial spirit, and with Jiang Chen’s gradual mastery of primordial spirit power, this trace would dissipate.

With a slight smile, Yan Yufei lay beside Jiang Chen’s primordial spirit, closing her eyes and drifting into a deep sleep.

In the depths of the sea of consciousness, the True Dragon Martial Soul opened its eyes, glancing at the center of the sea, smiling faintly, "It’s that mischievous little girl!"

...

Outside the formation.

Yan Hu and the others watched Jiang Chen inside the array with worried expressions.

After Yan Yufei disappeared, Jiang Chen stood there, looking left and right before freezing again. Initially, they thought he was watching the formation space, but as time passed, Yan Hu grew concerned and called out loudly.

"Brother Jiang!"

"Junior Brother!"

The others, including Yun Tao, called out in concern.

Onlookers had mixed expressions, some relieved, others hoping Jiang Chen wouldn’t awaken, while others worried he might be secretly benefiting.

"I’m fine."

A voice called from within the array, and under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Chen turned around.

Brandishing Lei Yan’s space ring, Jiang Chen chuckled, "I retrieved this."

"Lei Yan’s space ring!?"

"No way, did Lei Yan the Warlord perish?!"

"So soon?"

Exclamations echoed one after another, eyes filled with shock, and some held a trace of greed, but recalling Jiang Chen’s formidable prowess, they suppressed it again.

Yan Hu and others sighed in relief.

"Jiang Chen, where is Senior Yan Yufei’s primordial spirit?"

Cheng Huang’er asked anxiously.

Jiang Chen gave Cheng Huang’er a curious glance, asking in puzzlement, "Why does the little princess seek Fairy Yufei’s primordial spirit?"

"An unconscious primordial spirit can aid others in effectively opening domains during their breakthrough to the Saint Realm!"

Cheng Huang’er replied softly.

"This girl has a death wish! My fairy consciousness hasn’t dissipated, yet she wants to exploit my primordial spirit to help others open domains? I’ll kill her!"

An outraged voice echoed in the sea of consciousness.

Jiang Chen chuckled bitterly; offending both sides was inadvisable. He could only relay, "Fairy Yufei, she mentioned an unconscious primordial spirit. She likely assumed your consciousness was nearing dissipation and thus sought your primordial spirit."

"Humph! No matter! Tell her, no way! Even if she holds a split soul power from a supreme expert, if she targets my primordial spirit, I’ll make her pay!"

Jiang Chen’s heart skipped at her fierce words. He gave Cheng Huang’er a deep look, softly explaining, "Fairy Yufei’s consciousness hasn’t dissipated. She’ll soon leave this place to restore her physical form."
