Chapter 104: Breaking the Barrier, Ascending to the Next Level
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Name: Jun Sangian
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Cultivation Base: Extreme Path (His bodily form)
Background: The Supreme Tower (To be confirmed)
Relationship: 55 (Relationship with his bodily form)
Innate Talent: Undetectable (The gap between their realms is too big to detect)
Status: He’s a promising kid.
After ascertaining that Jiang Ming couldn’t move anymore, he swooped in for the final blow by plunging his sword into Jiang Ming’s forehead.
In the corridor, Jiang Ming touched his forehead as his heart palpitated.
He was dead. Even though he could be revived, his heart was still trembling.
He opened up the Human Paths Record to check the young man’s information, and then he was shocked.
‘Bodily form? What is that? And it isn’t confirmed if he’s one of the Supreme Pagoda yet? His innate talent is undetectable? And even there’s not much information about his status. Is it because I’m too weak?”
Jiang Ming sighed in disappointment.
Luo Heng came over, his face still filled with shock. “Brother Jiang, you actually have cleared the sixth stage. That’s so awesome!”
“Lwas trying to clear the seventh stage, but unfortunately… My opponent thoroughly defeated me.” Jiang Ming sighed lightly.
“What are you talking about, Brother Jiang?” Luo Heng said, “Do you know that you’ve already broken the record by clearing the fifth stage, and how amazing it’s for you to get through the sixth stage? I can’t even clear the fourth stage, and you’re here sighing in disappointment because you can’t clear the
seventh stage. People always said that no compare no despair, and it’s only now I know how true the statement is.”
“You can do it too.” Jiang Ming smiled. He leaped into the air and landed on the seventh battle stage. Then, he said, “I’m going to try again!”
As soon as he landed on the seventh battle stage, the young man appeared again.
“You still don’t want to give up yet?” Jun Sangian shook his head. “In my honest opinion, you won’t stand a chance against me at your current level. Even if you have entered Level 6, your chance of defeating me will still be slim. You might stand a chance, though, if you can reach Level 7.”
“Not even Level 6?” Jiang Ming asked, his voice filled with confusion. “Judging from my current strength, when I reach Level 6, my cultivation can be increased ten times, and my combat strength may be able to increase a hundred times. That’s not enough?”
“Don’t even think about it,” Jun Sangian replied. “In your cultivation system, the Extreme Path means mastery over the laws in the mortal realm. Everything that is beneath the laws is nothing. Generally, a Paradis martial artist stands no chance against an Extreme Path martial artist. This is because the
latter is on a whole different level compared to the former. Under the influence of Dao rhythm, one will lose several percent of their combat strength, so how are they going to fight? Even the weakest Extreme Path martial artist is an existence that can’t be defeated easily.”
“What if my opponent wields the Fire Dao?”
“Haha, do you think you couldn’t defeat me because I could manipulate the water inside of your body through the Water Dao? If you were up against an opponent who uses the Fire Dao, he could make your heart burn with desire, anger, or even turn you into a pile of ashes by burning you from the inside,”
Jun Sangian said as he shook his head.
“Seems like I have a lot of things to lea about the Extreme Path,” Jiang Ming replied. “Since an Extreme Path martial artist is so powerful, judging from the Supreme Pagoda’s rules when one has reached the Primal Spirit Realm, how are they going to clear the trial if they’re matched up against an
Extreme Path martial artist on the first day? And if one has reached the Extreme Path Realm, does it not mean that they have to defeat an immortal? Isn’t that impossible?”
“Different levels have different rules, Alright, enough talking. Do you want to fight or not?” Jun Sangian flung his sleeve.
“guess I’ll pass. Since no matter how many times I try, I’ll never be able to defeat you,” Jiang Ming said. “I hope we’ll meet again at the next level. At that time, I’ll try my best to beat you!”
“Well, you do have the potential,” Jun Sangian commented.
Jiang Ming bowed at him and came to the platform.
He took a look at his point. Initially, he had only three points, but he had 35 points now.
He had already gotten the points for the first five stages, and he earned a total of 32 points for clearing the sixth stage.
He could gain 64, points if he cleared the seventh stage, but unfortunately, he failed. He wondered if he would have the chance to get the points or not in the future.
“Brother Jiang,” Luo Heng called out to him as he handed him a glass of wine.
“Thanks!” Jiang Ming took it over. He took a sip and said with a smile, “Can I have some more of this wine? I stay inside a mountain, so I have little access to good wine. This wine is addictive, and I’m sure it’ll be a pleasure to drink a glass of it after cultivation!
“Well, you asked the right person. I might not have other things, but I have a lot of wine,” Luo Heng said as he handed Jiang Ming a ring. “There are a total of 1,800 wines in this ring. I collected them by myself, and I’m giving them to you now. Please, you need to take it. There are billions of races, millions
of living beings, and an abundance of materials in my world. Everything you can imagine, we have it there!”
“Well, since you insist, I’ll gladly take it then!” Jiang Ming took the ring over. When he scanned it with his mind, he found that there was a big space in it and it was filled with all sorts of bottles.
“Brother Luo, if you need anything in the future, let me know. I’ll do my best to help.”
“Haha, thanks.”
Both of them chatted for a long while, and Jiang Ming went to the side to recuperate. After recovering his energy, he went to the Heavenly Ladder.
He reached the 18th level swiftly. He took a deep breath and climbed onto the 19th level.
Voom!
His mind shook, and he felt as if there was an invisible spear coming at him, trying to destroy his willpower and mind.
“Spiritual Arcane Light!”
Jiang Ming activated his special ability.
His body shook, but he did not fall down this time.
“I did it! I have the willpower of an Extreme Path martial artist!” He grinned.
He continued to climb upward, and when he came to the 22nd level, his vision turned dark, and by the time he opened his eyes again, he was already in the corridor.
“Well done, Brother Jiang!” Luo Heng commented.
“I thought I could reach the 27th level. Well, I guess I’ve overestimated myself.” Jiang Ming sighed.
“L.. L.. Do you know how hard it’s for me to restrain myself from beating you up?” Luo Heng said, gritting his teeth. “Do you know how many levels I managed to clear? 10! Only 10! That’s my maximum, and you…”
He turned around and stormed away.
Jiang Ming couldn’t help himself and chuckle.
He took a look at his points, and the grin on his face widened.
The 19th level corresponded to the willpower of a Paradis martial artist, and he was granted 100 points. It was the same for the 21st level and the 22nd level. In other words, he had obtained 300 points.
Name: Jiang Ming
Cultivation Base: Level 5
Points Accumulated: 335 points
Honor: 6 stages record, 21 levels record, 992 units of special abilities.
He had gained a lot of points this time, and his honors had changed.
Jiang Ming took a look at the Heavenly Monuments and the Dao Monuments. He thought for a while and chose not to go in the end.
According to his friends in the chat room, the higher the realm, the better the effect of comprehension.
He was still in the Dao Seed Realm, so he decided to first raise his realm to the Nascent Soul or Primal Spirit Realm.
“I guess it’s time for me to ascend into the next realm!”
Jiang Ming had made up his mind.
After bidding goodbye to Luo Heng, he returned to his world.
The first thing he did was check his Junior Sister’s condition and Yue Cheng at Zhiyang Peak. However, nothing had changed since only an hour had passed.
Jiang Ming heaved a sigh of relief, but he knew that something big was going to happen in another half a month.
However, there was still plenty of time for him to prepare.
Jiang Ming came to Chuyang Peak’s immortal cave and sat in a lotus position on the cloud bed. He cast the Life and Death Disillusionment Formation Disk to seal this place and closed his eyes.
He cleared his mind, and a dimly lit Dao Seed appeared in his sea of consciousness.
He knew it was almost time for him to ascend into the next realm. Therefore, he chanted the Grand Path Almighty Method Sutra, and multiple rays of light shot out of his body. They fused together and merged into the Dao Seed.
The Dao Seed flickered and trembled gently before turning into a placenta with beating sounds coming from inside.
It sounded like the noise when the sky was separated from the earth. His sea of consciousness shook. It began to transform again, and the space inside became more stable.
The fetal membrane squirmed, and its density intensified again.
The size of the space remained the same, but its quality had taken a quantum leap. Even his mana had undergone further changes and had increased by more than ten times.
This sound, too, spread into all parts of the body, causing his bloodline to transform, his skeletal structure to reform, his organs to refine, and his muscles to strengthen. Even his skin was glowing brightly, and both its toughness and strength suddenly increased.
Thump! Thump!
‘The sound rang out again in a regular rhythm.
‘The transformation was beginning to stop.
‘Finally! The Nascent Soul Realm!”
When a soul entered the Dao Seed, it would turn into the Nascent Soul. This was the Level 6 of cultivation.
After a short while, Jiang Ming opened his eyes and realized that two days had passed.
He opened up the Human Paths Record, and luckily, nothing had happened in the past two days.
He then activated the Supreme Order and went into the Supreme Pagoda.
This time, what appeared before him was a grass plain.
“Jiang Ming, since you’ve ascended into the next realm, you need to go through the trial again. If you pass the trial, you can enter the Supreme Pagoda. If you fail, you will lose access to the Supreme Pagoda, and the Supreme Order will disappear.
“The trial is separated into three stages.”
Jiang Ming listened carefully to the instructions. Honestly, he was not worried at all.
The first stage was battle, the second was the test of willpower, and the third stage was the test of knowledge.
Jiang Ming passed through all of them in a breeze.
There was not much difference in the fourth level of the Supreme Pagoda.
He could see the Heavenly Monuments, the Dao Monuments, the Heavenly Battle Stage, and the Million Dao Chart.
However, there was not a single person here, and it made the area even more spacious.
“Well, this isn’t bad!”
Jiang Ming smiled and took out a couch. He pulled out a jar of wine and began sipping on it.
Next, he summoned a tablet onto his hand. When he opened it up, he noticed there was a special folder in it. He tapped into it, and his eyes widened in shock.
He watched everything in the folder for three days and three nights. He only reluctantly stopped on the fourth day.
“Lwill be wasted if I don’t stop watching this.”
Jiang Ming shook his head and stored the tablet away.
He calmed himself down and began absorbing the mana to enhance the Nascent Soul.
It was all about breeding and growing in the Nascent Soul Realm.
He had a strong willpower and adequate reserves of mana. All he needed was time. The silver lining was that it would only be an hour on the outside world no matter how much time he spent here.
‘Time flitted by slowly, and Jiang Ming had consumed 4,000 years of cultivation to reach the perfect stage.
“L guess I should try the Heavenly Battle Stage and the Heavenly Ladder and see if I can ascend into the Primal Spirit Realm or not.”
He jumped and landed below the Heavenly Battle Stage with that thought in mind.
“I wonder if I can kill him or not this time.”
Jiang Ming stepped into the corridor and walked toward the first battle stage..
