Chapter 187 - Inheritance, Jiang Ming’s Sleek Move
Chapter 187 Inheritance, Jiang Ming’s Sleek Move
In the Blood Red Abyss World.
Devil King Xue Tao sat quietly in an ancient great hall, yet the atmosphere was depressing to the extreme. Even the witches who served him all knelt to his right and left, shivering in fear.
“I’ve exhausted all my resources, conjured up a demonic land and even sent 81 Sky Devils over in a short while. Yet, all my plans failed in just a glimpse of an eye. The mortal world, the mortal world that was supposed to be my place of great encounter, how can I fail! His strength has already far exceeded the limits of the mortal world. He was comparable to even the True Demon. No, even the ordinary True Demon might not stand a chance against him! Yet how can he still stay in the mortal world for such a long time? Could it be that he is a one in a hundred-million years genius? Whatever the case is, the normal methods are of no use anymore. So… should I go there myself to seek it? I can’! Even with my strength, crossing through endless torrents of space time and illusory lands, my chance of survival is close to none. How can I deal with this?” Devil King Xue Tao pondered.
Eventually, he got down to three conclusions: One, to first form an alliance with many other Devil Kings and make their next move together; Two, to wait for a great change in the mortal world, and that peerless figure to ascend to higher realm; Third, to head on over to the Infinite Demon Abyss and serve up the great encounters.
In the Supreme Immortal World.
Immortal-like luminance shone brightly as the rainbow hung high, entwined by the purple clouds. It really served as a foil to the Immortal Palace that was right in the middle with extreme beauty and an overwhelming feeling of nobility.
There was a young man that sat in the middle of the palace, with rays of immortal luminance ever changing behind his head.
There was a person kneeling right in front of him, which was Jun Tianci who had returned from the mortal world. He, who was once the arrogant genius, was kneeling down like a lowly dog, not daring to even move.
“How long, just how long did it just take for Dong Yao’s whole fleet who descended through the Golden Heaven Path to just perish like that.” The young man smiled coldly, “I was still here planning my next move, yet all of you were wiped out over there. Even the interdimensional gateway was destroyed. Tianci.”
“I’m here master.” Jun Tianci Shivered.
“Tell me, how should I punish you?” the young man asked indifferently, “You sent the entire legion to their death on the battlefield that year. However, because I took mercy on your hundreds of millions of year’s effort cultivating, I sent the remnant of your soul over to the mortal world at a huge price to incidentally complete a mission. It was just a mission in the mortal world and the result? Not only have you failed to take over the mortal world, you failed to even build a Sacred Land in the mortal world and leave our inheritance behind.”
“What use do I have for you?” the young man simply waved his hand and Jun Tianci just weathered and dissipated into the air into nothingness.
He then stood up and paced around in the main hall.
“There’s surely a great secret hidden in that mortal world and I for sure cannot give up on it. Yet with how things have changed, it’s way too difficult to tackle this with normal means. Destroy it? No, I can’t bear the changes caused by that. I’ll just push the whole world into the battlefield then!” the youth’s expression turned ruthless.
Linglong ended up appearing in an unknown space. In front of her was a staircase that led straight to the small island above.
Although the island suspended in midair wasn’t huge, it contained a mighty power that even made her soul tremble. Right next to it, there was a stone bridge that connected to somewhere else, but was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see through clearly.
Linglong wanted to fly up, but quickly discovered that there was a peculiar energy in the area that made it difficult for her to soar.
At that moment, a stream of information suddenly entered her heart, information about the place here.
“I see!” Linglong suddenly understood what was happening
She wasn’t that too familiar with the place in actuality.
In the original locus of time, the Heavenly Order was originally acquired by the Holy Son of the Taishang Sword Sect which led his cultivation to improve by leaps and bounds with combat power that could even defy the sky. His might was simply absurd.
When she came over to the Immortal realm, it was accidentally revealed by the Holy Son then that he had strayed accidentally into the ancient immortal battlegrounds, obtaining the Heavenly Order which led to his incredible upbringing
Before this, Linglong also deliberately collected various information on the situation after the emergence of the ancient immortal battle grounds.
After investigating for a long time, she realized how terrifying the inheritance was. However, the Holy Son suddenly turned quiet all of a sudden which was just strange.
In fact, she cultivated various Dao and formed clones, all in order to prepare for this day: to intercept that great encounter.
‘Only by stepping foot on the island will you be deemed to have passed the preliminary test. Else, you will be sent back and the Heavenly Order will automatically fly away?’
Linglong pondered for a moment, looked over at the nine clones who were also sent over with her and wasn’t surprised about it.
Such terrifying inheritance naturally required the individual to be complete.
With a simple thought, the nine clones were stored in the Paradis Space of her sea of consciousness that she had opened up.
Her original body which was of Paradis Realm had already formed an illusory sword realm where the various types of terrifying Sword Sambodha framed it into a special world.
After looking around again, she stepped up onto the staircase and felt her heart sink in an instant.
“An invisible power acting on the mind. Is this a test of a person’s will?” Linglong was suddenly enlightened.
This sort of test was the type that she was least afraid of.
Taking a step at a time, she quickly reached the ninety-ninth floor. Even though she had reached such a high level, she didn’t feel too much pressure from the place.
“This place here is equivalent to the mental suppression of a level 11 Heavenly Immortal at its peak.” Linglong could easily tell its intensity.
Taking another step, she arrived on the island and with a flash of a light, she directly appeared at the center of the island.
“Such dense Dao fluctuation!” Sensing the surrounding condition, Linglong was suddenly taken aback
The intensity of Dao fluctuation back at Chuyang Peak was already amazing but the intensity in this place was more than 100 times denser than Chuyang Peak. It was very incredible.
Yet the rules here were very brutal.
A person has to reach enlightenment here, and then go through the stone bridge that was connected to the island to really enter the real place of inheritance.
The rate of time flowing in the place when compared with the outside world was a hundred to one. In other words, a year in the outside world was akin to a hundred years here.
A person had only three chances and could only stay here for 100 years each time.
If the stone bridge wasn’t opened after the three chances were used up, the person would lose the Supreme Order.
Once the person’s cultivation base had improved, the test on the stone bridge would naturally change accordingly.
“No wonder the strength of that person from the Taishang Sword Sect improved a lot slower to the point that I surpassed him. It might be because of him failing the three tests.” Linglong was stunned in thought.
She also now understood that these tests must be extremely difficult.
“Since I’m here, I might as well make the best out of it.” Linglong suppressed her thought of the difficulties, released her nine clones and started cultivation, preparing herself to raise her own strength to the pinnacle of Imminent Immortal Realm.
What she was focusing the most was on the Daos that these nine clones were comprehending.
As for going up right now to take on the challenge of the stone bridge? She didn’t think that it was a rush.
On Chuyang Peak.
Jiang Ming was lying on the rattan chair, swaying leisurely as the Human Path Record was floating midair in front of him, displaying the information on his Junior Sister. Zi Linglong’s ‘Status’: Entered the Heavenly Inheritance Space, passed the basic test and entered the next test.
The first test was very easy.
Jiang Ming was speechless upon reading her ‘Status’.
“As long as there isn’t any danger!” he let out a breath of relief.
As expected, she failed in trying to send over one of her clones to ascend into that inheritance space.
Xi Yao paced over in the air, landed right next to Jiang Ming and asked with a complicated expression, “Did Linglong really go to accept the inheritance? And it would be for at least a year? She even purposely handed Mo Xiaoyu over for me to teach.”
“She told you?” Jiang Ming couldn’t help laughing.
Xi Yao nodded her head as she sat aside. Picking up a teapot, her two hands moved, inducing spiritual liquid into the tea pot and steam started coming out of it. She then poured Jiang Ming a cup and asked, “Aren’t you anxious?”
“Anxious of what?” Jiang Ming looked at Xi Yao with a confused look.
He could not deny that it was difficult to remove his gaze once he locked eyes with this Holy Daughter in front of him, whose pure looks with glints of holiness.
Xi Yao’s face flushed and quickly said, “It is already a quiet place here and will be even quieter without her. Will you be used to it?”
“Already accustomed.”
“You really don’t look like a young man.”
“My heart had long been used to vicissitudes! How can I still look like a young man after I fought in the Northern Region, killed many around the world and even slaughtered Immortals. Xi Yao, I really envy you.”
Xi Yao was speechless.
If it was based on the age of the normal person, she could be his aunt already.
The two sat quietly as the sun set down in the west.
“What do you want to eat? I’ll make some.” Jiang Ming stood up and lazily stretched himself.
“I…” Xi Yao almost blurted out, but quickly held back, “I’m not eating today. I’m afraid of getting fat.”
She quickly left the place, afraid that once she had dinner, she would feel even heavier hearted to leave.
Jiang Ming didn’t mind that she rejected and made himself a bowl of noodles. After finishing his meal, he laid down on the chair as his subconscious slowly drifted, sinking through the dark sea of consciousness and a strand of spirituality descended on the Firth Immortal Moon.
Inside the Main Hall of the Reincarnation Hall.
The Fifth Immortal Moon stood quietly. On her left was an opened room with scarlet red writings that wrote: SS-grade mission, catastrophe of the end of the world, stop the demon’s invasion.
There was a half an hour countdown.
Anyone could freely choose as those who chose first would enter first. If there weren’t enough people who take on the mission, those teams who had failed the previous three missions would be forced to take the mission.
The Fifth Immortal Moon did not break through into the Immortal Realm, but continued on the mission according to Jiang Ming’s will.
She had the choice whether to enter the room or not, but if she returned, she would also be sent inside.
Time quickly passed and a reminder suddenly rang in the Fifth Immortal Moon’s mind.
“Ding: You’ve accepted the SS-Grade Mission. The time is up. Beginning teleportation now.”
Her figure vanished without a trace yet it did not attract much attention from the surrounding for it was all too common already.
The very next moment, the Fifth Immortal Moon arrived at an unfamiliar place where the sky was painted gray, ever flowing with a dense demonic aura.
The suffocating evil spirit in the air caused people to become inexplicably manic, as their killing intent rose and they couldn’t help their urge to go on a killing spree.
“Ding: Xingyue World was originally a perfect planar world, but was invaded by a piece of demonic land. Its world origin was corroded, which reversed the laws of heaven and earth, turning the half the nature of the place into the demonic land’s nature, which in turn caused the planar to lose its self-defensive ability.”
“Ding: As larger numbers of devils descended into the world, rampaged through the land, committed sins and plundered all living beings, it left the world in a state of destruction where the world will soon wither and be completely lost.”
“Ding: Because this planar world’s origin was destroyed, the land was turned into demonic land, living beings that descended into the world have risen to level 11.
“Ding: This is a rescue mission. Kill off the invading demons and save the world from destruction.”
“Ding: Killing a level 7, 8, 9 and 10 Demon will be rewarded 1, 10, 100 and 1000 points respectively. Killing a low tier, middle tier and high tier level 11 demon will be rewarded 100 000, 500 000 and 1 000 000 points respectively.”
“Ding: Once the world is saved from destruction, all beneficiaries will be rewarded based on the ranking of accumulated points at the end of the mission.”
A series of reminders promptly appeared in Fifth Immortal Moon’s mind, and naturally, Jiang Ming heard it too.
“Worth a try. If this ends up successful, I won’t have to worry about cultivation in the future anymore.
On Chuyang peak, just as Jiang Ming thought through the whole plan, he started forming a clone of himself. Based on the Fifth Immortal Moon’s spiritual soul as the coordinates, he used the Human Path Record and began transmitting his clone over to the other side.
