After Zhang Junbao and Chang Yiming left, Jiang Ming then looked into the Training Zone, a newly activated feature of the system.
Currently, the function of the Training Zone was simple. He could enter the Training Zone with his consciousness to practice the special ability that he had learned.
In other words, it was a more advanced martial arts training ground.
He then returned to his room, activated a formation, and sat in a lotus position on his bed. He closed his eyes, and by the time he opened them again, he was already inside an empty space.
It was a platform, hovering in an endless starry sky.
Jiang Ming lifted his head and saw nothing but stars. Then, he lowered his head and noticed that he was standing on top of a not-so-large rock. He took a glance at himself, and he looked exactly the same as when he was outside. Even the Dao Seed in the sea of consciousness remained the same. It was as if he had manifested his own body in this space.
Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind. He closed his eyes, and then when he opened them again, the environment in front of him changed into that of the Jiuyang Sect.
He was now standing on top of Chuyang Peak. He looked around and noticed there were also eight other main peaks and countless peaks around him.
Jiang Ming couldn’t help himself and commented, “Terrific!”
He could change the environment in this space according to his wish.
Jiang Ming stepped on the ground and touched the stone. He realized that everything in this space was so real that he couldn’t tell the difference between real and fake.
He then leaped into the air and formed a seal with his hand. He pointed it downward and a divine seal appeared, instantly covering the things below in an impressive suppression force.
The divine seal landed on Chuyang Peak, and an explosion occurred at the moment of collision, giving rise to a storm of dust that covered even the sky.
“This is great. I can do whatever I want here!” Jiang Ming was delighted.
He formed multiple hand seals, and divine seals appeared in the sky one after another. He then sent them all plunging downward and decimated the entire Chuyuang Peak.
He turned his head around and lifted his arm into the air as he activated the Nine Heavens Imperial Lightning. With a stroke of his hand, thunder descended on Zhiyang Peak and drowned the mountain in a mighty roar.
The Wooden Dragon, the Slice the Heavens sword technique, the Nine Heavenly Cannons, the Nine Divine Mountain Treasures, the Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi, and even the Great Akasa Divine Hand… He performed one special ability after another in this space to his heart’s content.
In the blink of an eye, he had leveled the entire Jiuyang Sect.
“This feels so great!” Jiang Ming shouted.
He had been suppressing himself the whole time he was in Jiuyang Sect. Even if he did go out of Jiuyang Sect once in a while, he was always in a rush, so he couldn’t get to enjoy most of the battles.
One thing he found out about this space was that he could perform the special abilities as much as he wanted without any fear of exertion as the special abilities would not consume any mana when he was here.
He continued to perform his special abilities again and again. In the end, he found that he had a better understanding of his special abilities.
After having his fun, Jiang Ming called his consciousness back to his body.
Other than the flow of time, he did not feel anything else.
Jiang Ming smiled.
Time was flowing slowly. He was improving his understanding of special abilities and Dao Seeds, while his Enlightening Tea Leaves and Enlightening Stones were being depleted at a shocking rate.
He had successfully fused the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Dao Seeds together and transformed them into the Five Elemental Dao Seeds.
The Five Elemental Dao Seed was one of the rarest Dao Seeds in this world.
No!
Whether it was the record in the sect or the “Detailed Explanations on Human Cultivation Realms” written by Master Dao Yan, only one person in 1,000 years might have succeeded in forming the Five Elemental Dao Seed, and that was the reason it was one of the hardest Dao Seeds to form.
After successfully forming the Five Elemental Dao Seed, the Yin-Yang Dao Seed was slowly taking shape as well.
Since he had absorbed the Space Crystal, Jiang Ming had a better understanding of space. After performing the Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi, the Great Akasa Steps, and the Great Akasa Divine Hand in the Training Zone, he had fully comprehended the Spatial Sambodha and successfully formed the Spatial Dao Seed.
The Death Dao Seed and Vitality Dao Seed had merged together and formed the Life-and-Death Dao Seed.
The Great Demolition Sambodha, the Reincarnation Sambodha, the Light-and-Dark Sambodha, and the True Illusion Sambodha had formed their respective Dao Seeds as well.
Under the combined effort of Enlightening Tea Leaves and Enlightening Stones, Jiang Ming had made a couple of breakthroughs.
Unfortunately, he still couldn’t comprehend the Time Sambodha and the Karma Sambodha.
Jiang Ming came out of his seclusion today.
He leaped to the roof and turned his head to see that his Junior Sister was still in seclusion.
He could not see his Master around, so he figured that he must have gone somewhere else.
The glow from the westbound sun had dyed everything in its path red.
He took a glance at the back mountain and found that the Azure Silver Grass was almost ready to be harvested.
It had been more than a year since his Master’s Purple Mansion had recovered.
In the past year, Zhang Junbao would bring him news from time to time, and he also learned about the outside world through the record in the Human Paths Record.
For example, the Sect Master had broken through the Primal Spirit Realm, and the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion and the Qingyun Sect were still at war.
The Bishui Sect had moved their main force to Eastern Region and had taken Hai Province from the Tianshui Sect.
The devil sects were getting more and more active with more of their disciples appearing in the public.
The geniuses from Zhong Province had arrived. As they traveled across Eastern Region, they defeated one genius in Eastern Region after another. They were unstoppable.
These were the geniuses from Zhong Province and each of them was supported by a powerful force such as a Sacred Land, so no one dared to mess with them.
Jiang Ming had a basic grasp of the dating system here as well.
When he was on the mountain, there were no four seasons, and he could not feel the flow of time at all unless something big happened. He did not even make the effort of understanding it.
They were now in the year 9,994 of the Zhou Calendar. The Great Zhou Dynasty in Zhong Province had been founded nearly 10,00 years ago, and it had become a force as powerful as the Sacred Land. They were using the Zhou Calendar as the main dating system.
As for the history further ahead? That’s much longer.
They were changing the dating system constantly in order to prevent the emergence of mind-numbing dating systems such as the Tian Yuan Calendar or the Divine State Calendar that lasted several million or tens of millions of years.
“It has been four years and nine months since the activation of the system!”
Jiang Ming did not know if it was a coincidence or not either.
“In my current realm, I can unify and merge all the spells through the Grand Path Almighty Method Sutra to form the Chaos Dao Seed! However, I only managed to form five types of Dao Seed. The Yin-Yang, Life-and-Death, Reincarnation, Light-and-Dark, True Illusion, and Great Decimation Dao Seeds are amongst the highest level of Dao Seeds. There are also others such as the Saber, Blade, Fist, Stellar, and Sentience Dao Seeds.
“The only things I lack right now are the Time and Karma Dao Seeds!
“However, if I use the Five Elemental Dao Seeds as the foundation, the Yin-Yang Dao Seed as the catalyst, and the Spatial Dao Seed as the support to connect the Reincarnation, Life-and-Death, Light-and-Dark, and True Illusion while using the rest as supplements, I can already form the Chaos Dao Seed. It’s just that it’s incomplete!”
Jiang Ming was reflecting on his own situation. He was both hesitant and worried.
Karma was too difficult to comprehend, and he did not have the faintest inkling of how to do it. Time was the most enigmatic thing in this world, and it was even harder than climbing into the sky to capture it.
Jiang Ming did not know what he should do at all.
“I guess I’ll just wait for a little longer. If it doesn’t work, I’ll settle for what I can get,” Jiang Ming said.
Suddenly, he jerked his head back and looked toward his Junior Sister’s direction when he sensed a terrifying Pure Sun Sambodha from her room. Even if there was a formation around her room, it could not prevent him from detecting her changes.
“This is the Pure Sun Sambodha!” Jiang Ming exclaimed as his eyes glowed.
His Junior Sister had formed the Fire Dao Seed, but now she had successfully transformed it into the Pure Sun Dao Seed. It might seem like an easy feat, but in fact, it was very difficult, even for some geniuses.
At present, there were not many people in this world who had comprehended the Pure Sun Sambodha.
This was because everything in this world had both Yin and Yang.
Absorbing the Yang energy from the universe to comprehend the Sun Sambodha was already a difficult feat, not to mention that his Junior Sister’s Dao Seed had directly evolved from the Fire Dao Seed.
Whoosh!
The Human Paths Record was opened once again.
Name: Zi Linglong
Gender: Human female
Cultivation base: Dao Seed Realm
Background: Disciple of the Jiuyang Sect’s Chuyang Peak
Relationship: 95
Innate Talent: Immortal (Advanced Phoenix Bloodline)
Status: When she was cultivating, her Fire Dao Seed transformed into the Pure Sun Dao Seed while her bloodline evolved. At present, she has the strongest Phoenix Warrior Body, further amplifying her physical and spell-casting prowess.
Jiang Ming couldn’t help himself and exclaimed, “While your cultivation base is improving, your body is getting refined as well. You truly are a genius with a lot of luck, Junior Sister!”
‘I must pick up my pace, or else I’ll get surpassed by her!’
As the thought surfaced in his mind, he came to the back mountain and looked at the Azure Silver Grass that had already ripened.
“I hope I won’t be disappointed. If it really doesn’t happen, it will be the fifth year in another three months. At that time, the rewards will be phenomenal!”
He decided to harvest the Azure Silver Grass tomorrow. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find any Azure Silver Grass King..
