Chapter 498: The Eternity In a Moment
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Back in Chuyang Peak, Jiang Ming was lying down on a rattan chair, swaying leisurely.
Jiang Ming had just returned from the Xinghe Universe. He didn’t bring back the World Tree as it had entered the state of ultimate transformation and was still continuously growing and evolving.
Jiang Ming had also settled the issues of the Xinghe Universe. Meanwhile, Pan Wang had attained the peak stage of King Saint Realm.
Xi, the supreme expert of a generation, who came out of the galaxy, had taken the initiative to detach from the original galaxy’s origin. He condensed himself a physical body, grew rapidly and leapt into the Lord Saint Realm. Xi was truly terrifying. He was a person with both unparalleled wisdom and talent as well as the potential of advancing into the Chaos Realm.
Jiang Ming had a long chat with him before leaving.
!!“Senior Brother!” Linglong landed right next to him with a grumpy look on her face. “This cultivation retreat of yours is way too long. How many years has it been since you left? The avatar that you left behind wasn’t that much of a use.”
“It’s only been ten years or so, hasn’t it?” Jiang Ming was at a loss for words. “You little brat. You’re just yearning for a beating. Just look at you! It’s been years’ time and your cultivation hasn’t improved much.”
“I’m just waiting for you. When you’re here, my cultivation will soar by leaps and bounds. Cultivating myself is too laborious and slow.” Linglong directly lay herself right beside him and she squeezed through with all her might. “Hurry up and give me some space.”
“You’ve grown fat.”
“What did you say? How dare you call me fat!”
The two of them continued bickering, whispering in private.
She had abdicated from the position as the Heavenly Emperor. Chang Yiming took over. Backed by the Tianyuan Realm, he didn’t need to worry about his weak cultivation realm.
Riyue Changfeng who was still at Tianyuan Sea had already advanced into the Saint Realm. Since he had already sanctified his way of Dao, he was in even less of a hurry to leave. He even said that the great fortune that he might gather by wandering the infinite world, was not even greater than Brother Jiang’s slight guidance and blessings. Hence, leaving would make him a silly billy.
In ten years’ time, a lot had changed within the Tianyuan Realm. Many experts had emerged. However, most of the cultivators would still go to the east and west sides to challenge the two heavenly ladders for a breakthrough. Yet, it was unfortunate that none of them have reached the top so far.
“Too useless.” Jiang Ming sighed.
“Useless?” Linglong pouted her mouth. “Just look at the difficulty that you’ve set up for the heavenly ladders. Take the heavenly ladder that tests the will for example, you’d need to be at least at the Saint Realm in order to reach the top. Overlooking the entire world, how many have reached such a realm? Although the cultivation condition of our Tianyuan Realm is very good already, the time we have is still too short. From my estimation, it would be quite good if you manage to take in one disciple in a thousand years’ time.”
“One in a thousand years?” Jiang Ming had the urge to scratch his head.
“No! The heavenly ladder is not only a test but also a training. If the person manages to seize the great fortune that I’ve left in the heavenly ladder, it wouldn’t be difficult.”
“It’s not difficult for you maybe.” Linglong rolled her eyes.
Jiang Ming took a glance and didn’t pay further attention to it. With one’s will not even reaching the Saint Realm, how would it be possible for oneself to sanctify the path of Dao? It would be simply impossible. As for the comprehension capability? One would at least need to be at a heaven-defying level.
Therefore, Jiang Ming had decided to ignore them. After all, with Jiang Ming’s current cultivation base at the Chaos Realm, the four Chaos Supreme Weapons that he possessed and also the World Tree as his ultimate weapon, it was already enough for him to traverse the vast and endless Sea of Chaos. At least, he could enjoy an efficiable life.
“Senior brother.”
“Hmm?”
“Over at my inheritance, there is news about a huge event taking place in the Chaos Primordial Land in a hundred years’ time. There will be great fortunes within and I’m asked to go for it and also return to the land of my true master.”
“A huge event? Is there no details?”
“There aren’t many details about it. Senior brother, should I go? This is an order from the sect. If I don’t go, I’m afraid my inheritance will become difficult.”
“You’re still caring about the inheritance?”
“Hehe! You are my greatest inheritance.”
“Haha! Good that you know. A hundred years’ time you say? It’s still early. We’ll talk about it when it comes.”
“Even with guidance, a hundred years’ time to reach the Chaos Primordial Land would be quite hasty. However, it isn’t much of a problem to you anyway. I’ll listen to you on everything.”
“That’s the right way to do it! This is what it means by you being the head of internal affairs while I as the head of external affairs.”
“You’re more of the head of internal affairs.”
“Huh? How so?”
“Well, haven’t you been entering the internal part of me daily?”
Pfft… Jiang Ming couldn’t hold back himself anymore. He directly conjured 10,000 avatars. When Linglong saw this, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laughed. She also conjured many avatars and summoned her nine other clones as well.
All of a sudden, an earth-shattering battle broke out. Stars exploded, black holes collapsed as a devastating fluid of pure Yang came gushing out, flooding the vast starry sky…
This great battle lasted for a full century in a small space that they had created before coming to an end.
Coming out of the space of reversed time, Jiang Ming lay down again. He rubbed his back, which was quite sore and soft.
However, Jiang Ming smiled. It was because Linglong had fallen asleep.
As the sun was setting in the west, its luminance painted the entire sky scarlet red.
Jiang Ming stood up and stretched himself. When he looked over to the other side and saw the many cooking utensils, he smiled and made himself a meal.
Eating had become a habit of his.
In just a short time, ramen, knife-cut noodle, fried noodle, minced-meat noodle and the likes… All 81 noodle dishes had appeared on the table.
‘Now this is life!’ Jiang Ming ate with great satisfaction.
Following that, Jiang Ming lay back on the rattan chair while patting on his stomach and looking at the hazy night sky. Inexplicably letting out a sigh, he recalled his previous life that was a long time ago.
‘Where exactly did I come from?’ Jiang Ming couldn’t help but ponder.
Did this so-called past life of his really exist? Or was it all a dream? When he thought about it carefully sometimes, he would become confused.
Finally, Jiang Ming shook his head and suppressed the thoughts.
‘Alas, the Chaos Primordial Land. I must go there and take a look someday, now…’ Jiang Ming paused the thoughts running through his mind.
Jiang Ming didn’t ask Hong Zhan about the great event that was about to happen in a hundred years’ time. With a thought in his heart, he directly entered the exclusive cultivation space within the Supreme Pagoda.
Jiang Ming’s strength had sky-rocketed and his cultivation base had greatly improved. Hence, he thought it was time for him to settle his cultivation. After all, even though he was strong, his various special abilities couldn’t keep up the pace and became the short end instead.
Sitting down cross-legged, Jiang Ming was pondering where he should start.
‘The Infinite Vessel Manipulation Technique has unlimited potential and cannot be discarded. I just don’t know if I am able to deduce it to the level of manipulating supreme Chaos weapons? There’s also the Infinite Transcendence Technique. I used to think that I have to merge the past body, present body and future body into one to improve. Although this is a way of improvement, it would be incredibly difficult to go beyond the three bodies. However…’
Between the flows of thoughts, various ideas flooded Jiang Ming’s mind. Other than these two techniques, the other technique he had was the Return of Infinite Law Finger technique.
‘I’ll need to deduce a pure Soul Dao technique and Physique technique as well.’
This was also a direction for Jiang Ming. He had been mainly focusing on his cultivation path previously.
However, now that Jiang Ming had advanced into such a level, his special abilities needed the corresponding laws of Dao in order for him to bring out his real power. His control of the laws was still too low and the only special ability that was presentable was the Return of Infinite Law Finger Technique.
‘And I’ll need to figure out a way to further improve my great chiliocosm…’
Jiang Ming had a bit of a headache. Based on the norm, great chiliocosm was the maximum level for one’s inner world. However, Jiang Ming knew that this was extremely far from the end. When his World Tree engulfed the Chaotic tree, he already had a vague assumption but he wasn’t sure about it. He still needed to seek some validation.
Even if Jiang Ming knew that there was a way forward, he didn’t know how he could go on. He found it difficult to go through it as well.
‘The great Dao knows no bounds. I shall just seek it slowly.’ Jiang Ming lamented. Following that, he closed his eyes for self-precipitation of his cultivation.
Whether it was the accumulated precipitation of his inner world or the sorting of his own power, he needed to analyze them all thoroughly.
A moment of eternity went by in a snap of a finger. Jiang Ming returned to Chuyang Peak once again. It had just been a blink of an eye since he left. However, his aura had become extremely cold. It felt as cold as ice, as rigid as the rock from the eternal times.
‘Alas, long cultivation really makes it easy for one to forget about oneself’s emotions and about himself. This would eventually lead to the coldness of reasoning step but step. Once the person loses his life goal, one would either fall into a demonic state or turn into Dao.’
Jiang Ming didn’t lay down but instead, he went over to his kitchen and started making himself a meal.
A drink and a meal were the warmth of the human realm.
After Jiang Ming had taken ample food and drinks, coupled with the readjustment of himself, he cut away a lot of false memories and his indifference aura had mostly dissipated.
Following that, Jiang Ming brewed himself a pot of tea, lay on the rattan chair and swayed leisurely. After taking a sip of tea, his subconsciousness entered the Great Dao Group.
He was ready to find Hong Zhan to ask about the Chaos Realm and also how to allow his inner world to advance further.
