Chapter 218 - Breaking the Limit
Chapter 218: Breaking the Limit
He would have access to four features after becoming the group admin, but all of them needed to consume points.
Time acceleration was an effective tool when it came to cultivation. He just needed to spend some points and he could accelerate the time by 10,000 years.
As for listening to Dao, he needed to spend 1,000 points for one lesson?
‘1,000 points?’
He figured that not that many people in the group had that many points.
After all, they would only get 9 points for clearing a stage in the battle tower that corresponded to their realm. Even if they had the ability to clear a stage where it was stronger than them, they would only get 90 points for one stage.
It was too difficult to earn more points during the early stage. However, things would become easier after they became a Golden Immortal.
[The blessing of the Supreme Order: Non-offensive. Spends 10,000 points to defend oneself against a lethal attack.]
“10,000 points for a life? Well, that’s a good bargain. However, it’s a feature only available to the group admin, and I’m afraid that other than the group admin, nobody could accumulate so many points,” Jiang Ming laughed.
He could run into a dangerous situation when he was in the real world, but with the Blessing of the Supreme Order, he did not have to worry about anything anymore.
The only downside was that it would consume a lot of points.
[A chance to cultivate in the Hongmeng Primordial Land: Spends 50,000 points to get a chance to cultivate in the Hongmeng Primordial Land.]
Jiang Ming couldn’t help but suck in air sharply when he saw the announcement.
‘D*mn it. Just how many things could one get for spending so many points to cultivate in the Hongmeng Primordial Land?’
Jiang Ming found it hard to believe.
“The point is how many people could get so many points?”
He surmised that not even the previous group admin could get so many points. The only reason he was able to activate the feature was that he had cleared the first stage of the fifth battle tower. If he had only cleared four battle towers, he wouldn’t be able to use the feature as well.
“Brother Jiang!” Ye Qingxian, who had been waiting for him, asked when she saw him appear, “How is it?”
“Great!” Jiang Ming laughed, “It’s as I expected as well.”
“As you expected?” Ye Qingxian was dumbfounded by him for a while before her eyes turned round. “You’re the group admin now?”
“Exactly.”
“Terrific!” Ye Qingxian couldn’t help herself and exclaimed.
She knew that Jiang Ming was powerful, but she did not expect him to be so powerful. She was fully aware how hard it was to become a member of the Supreme Immortal Chat Group, let alone becoming their group admin.
It was never in her wildest dream that he would become thegroup admin as soon as he joined the chat group.
“Calm down! It’s nothing impressive,” Jiang Ming chuckled.
He found that the sight of a beauty opening her mouth in shock was rather entertaining.
“Calm down? You want me to calm down?!” Ye Qingxian shouted again before she paused abruptly. She knew that she had made a fool of herself. She took a deep breath and let out a bitter smile, “Brother Jiang, you truly are a monster. How many stages did you manage to clear?”
“37!”
“37!? You’re only in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but you managed to clear the first stage of the fifth battle tower and defeated a Taiyi expert?” Ye Qingxian said. Then, she sucked in air through her teeth sharply and continued, “Impressive! I’m truly amazed. When all of us were in the mortal realm, we didn’t really submit to you and we all thought we could catch up to you despite the fact that you were way ahead of us. However, it’s only now that I realize how naive I am. There’s no way we can catch up to you no matter how hard we try. Now I can confirm that the future is in your hands.”
“You’ve flattered me, Qingxian,” Jiang Ming replied as he shook his head. Then, he continued, “Anyway, here’s a piece of advice for you. Try your best to accumulate as much as you can. If you can suppress your cultivation, you must do everything you can to suppress it so that you can clear two battle towers in one sitting!”
Ye Qingxian’s eyes glowed and she bowed at Jiang Ming. She did not ask anything anymore as she already knew everything.
She smiled bitterly and said, “I doubt I could do it. I can barely go through the first battle tower, and now you’re asking me to go through two towers?”
Then, she stood up and looked at the battle tower in the distance. Suddenly, fiery determination rose in her eyes.
“In the past, I used to walk across the continent, fighting strong foes and overcoming hardships. I used to be very weak, but then I was able to join the rest of the experts and stand at the top of the world. However, it seems to me that I’ve become weaker and my determination has deteriorated as time passes.”
Ye Qingxuan was very confident when she first came here. However, it was only after she attempted the battle tower and learned more about this place that she realized how ignorant she was and she felt a little defeated.
It was not because she was not strong enough. It was just that the people here were too powerful, but she figured that she shouldn’t care about so much and just mind her own business.
“That’s the face!” Jiang Ming said, “If others can do it, why can’t I? As for whether it’ll work out or not, we should talk about it after giving it a try.”
“You’re right! We should do what is in front of us first!” Ye Qingxian sat down and pulled out two bottles of wine. She threw one to Jiang Ming and drank one herself.
Her neck was slender and fair. It looked just like a white jade that was flawlessly carved.
“I should start planning from now on!” Ye Qingxian said as she looked intently at Jiang Ming, “I can’t get left behind by you too much. I have to work harder to catch up to you!”
“That’s the spirit!’ Jiang Ming said, “In the past, you were stronger than me, but then I surpassed you and became stronger than you afterward. That being said, you still stepped into the Immortal Realm faster than me. Right now, we’re on the same level. We still have a long way to go, and no one could tell which one of us will stand higher and go farther in the end.”
“I’ll try my best to surpass you again!” Ye Qingxian smiled.
After they chatted for a while, Jiang Ming did not check on the chat group. Instead, he connected with the Heavenly Ladder through his mind, and in the next second, he was transferred to the Heavenly Ladder.
Before he went there, he left a message to Ye Qingxian, “Sister Ye, I’ll leave this place after I attempt the Heavenly Ladder.”
He landed on the white jade staircases, and he saw a few figures ahead of him but he did not mind them. He mounted the staircases one after another.
Ye Qingxian looked in his direction. Even though she could not see clearly, she knew which one of them was Jiang Ming and she was shocked.
“As expected of Brother Jiang. I could only reach level 5 when I attempted the Heavenly Ladder, but he…”
Ye Qingxian continued to look at Jiang Ming.
Her shock slowly faded away as she had become numb.
The ninth level, the 18th level, the 27th level…
Jiang Ming continued to mount the staircases without stopping. However, he became slower after he reached the 30th level.
In the end, he came to the 36th level.
He lifted his head and looked upward, his eyes bright.
‘In comparison, my willpower is strong because I have the protection from the inner world,’ Jiang Ming thought inwardly and came to the 37th level.
Bam…
Suddenly, his vision turned black and a spear appeared in the sky. It pierced through the air and came straight at him.
“Great Protection Technique! Great Devastation Technique! Grand World Technique! Grand World Technique! Soul Light, Spear of Volition, go!”
Jiang Ming unleashed many different special abilities to counter the spear, giving rise to a great storm. The spear tore through layers of barriers, landed in his sea of consciousness before getting engulfed by his consciousness.
A smile appeared on Jiang Ming’s face.
“I’m in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but the origin force of my inner world is at the same level as a Taiyi Golden Immortal. In comparison, I have the advantage here! Let’s keep moving!”
Jiang Ming continued to move up the staircases.
When he reached the 43th level, his vision turned black again and he fell to the 42nd level.
“I didn’t manage to reach the 45th level!” Jiang Ming was shocked.
He thought he could reach the 45th level at his current level, but it now seemed to him that he had overestimated himself.
He tried again but the result was the same.
‘How is this happening? Could it be that my defensive special abilities are too weak?’ Jiang Ming thought.
This time, the voice did not ring out.
He had gotten a total of 6,090,999 points from the Heavenly Ladder.
Name: Jiang Ming
Cultivation base: Level 11 (Heavenly Immortal Realm)
Points Accumulated: 7,250,886
Achievement: [Heavenly Realm: 37 stages of battle tower, 42 levels of Heavenly Ladder]
“I can’t believe that I could get so many points!” Jiang Ming scratched his head.
While other people were still struggling to earn more points, he had already obtained more than 7 million points.
“If I go back and tell Qingxian, would she…”
A thought flashed across his head and he returned to the real world from the Supreme Pagoda.
After all, the world outside was where he truly belonged.
