Chapter 302: The Beginning of Jiang Ming’s Suffering, The Change (Part 2)

[Wang Ye: Even the Saints would die?]

[Hong Zhan: Even the great chiliocosm is timed, what’s more the Saints? The reason they can’t be killed is because no one is stronger than they are.]

[Wang Ye: Strength is still above all!]

[Hong Zhan: This is the nature of Dao, the source of Chaos and the root of tragedy. To a certain extent, strength is the order, but also the sin and chaos.]

All members of the chat group agreed upon Hong Zhan’s statement.

Jiang Ming left part of his consciousness in the chat group to calculate the points he had to pay while learning some new knowledge such as the mortality of Saints.

Most of his consciousness, however, had returned to his body.

He took out the sealed long river of innate vital essence. It was indeed only about 100 meters long and 10 meters wide. For a while he took a look at it, he simply threw it and sealed it into the immortal medicinal garden, so that it became the immortal medicine’s manure.

The presence of innate spiritual qi accelerated immortal medicine’s growing speed.

Jiang Ming then shifted his focus onto Mo Xiaoyu who was cultivating in a corner. Because he had transformed her body into Innate Daoist Body a few months ago, her cultivating speed had greatly accelerated.

With her transformed physique and supreme cultivating method in addition to the accessibility to various training facilities, she would be a good-for-nothing person if she couldn’t grow up.

However, Jiang Ming believed that Xiayu would have a bright future because of her patient personality.

“Xi Yao…” Jiang Ming muttered as he took out a crystal. It was the Extreme Yin Origin Essence Ye Qingxian had collected on his behalf. It was the Origin Essence of an Extreme Yin Stellar that belonged to a great chiliocosm, hence a very precious crystal.

In fact, Jiang Ming had collected many precious items other than this crystal he had just taken out.

‘She’s selected to cultivate the Dao of Extreme Yin. It’d help her cultivate better after she fuses with it.’

Jiang Ming threw it over and into her body. Then, he also thoroughly scanned through her body.

‘Her physique is too weak but she’s curved indeed.’

Jiang Ming did so out of concern, not because he was ill-intentioned.

Following that, he shifted his focus to Jiaoyang Peak.

There were more female disciples than ever. Everyone of them was exquisite, physically alluring and each of their moves were captivating.

They were indeed seductive.

Jiang Ming blinked and saw his master and his master’s wife were living in harmony, cheerful, and relaxing. He thought for a while and eventually decided not to disturb them.

His master merely wanted Jiang Ming and his Junior Sister to grow stronger and that Jiuyang Sect to grow bigger. Other than that, he wanted to become an immortal, which was an easy task.

‘My master would be safe with my presence. I’ll plan for him whenever he wants to start cultivating!’ Jiang Ming laughed.

With a wave, two streams of light flew speedily away, one into Chang Yiming’s body while the other into Senior Sister Momo’s.

‘That’s a pity that Senior Brother Zhang is no longer around!’ Jiang Ming couldn’t help but sigh as he recalled about that gentle head disciple.

He died too early.

Jiang Ming suppressed the various thoughts from running through his mind, and had his consciousness into his inner world.

The Chaotic Tree’s seedling that he obtained from a trade, was suspended in the air, vibrating and struggling as though it sensed nature, wanting to immediately root on the earth to absorb nutrients and grow.

‘Although it’s just a seedling, it is too top graded. It’d be an alien species if I were to put it in my inner world. Hence, I wonder if it can be assimilated by my inner world and be my spiritual root.’

Jiang Ming was not confident. Therefore, to play safe, he took out a drop of blood essence and fused it into his inner world so that it’d drop on a leaf of the seedling. However, the leaf slightly shook, and the drop of blood essence fell off.

He squinted his eyes as he had his power of soul flown into the seedling. Immediately after that, he discovered that there wasn’t any imprint of other living things in it and he felt empty and lost when he thought about refining it.

He mobilized the power of his inner world as a support but his efforts to refine it were in vain.

Forceful refinement failed as well.

‘Is it because of the 3,000 laws that the Chaotic Tree had, had formed a complete structure, and formed a perfect loop that I’m not qualified to refine it yet? Or is it because of the great Dao’s limitations, preventing it from having an owner?’ Jiang Ming was confused.

The Chaotic Tree’s seedling had spirituality but had no soul.

After Jiang Ming pondered for a while, he put the Chaotic Tree’s seedling into the Human Path Record.

Jiang Ming did not want it to grow in his inner world if he couldn’t refine it.

When Jiang Ming fed in his immortal power, to his surprise, he managed to refine it through the Human Path Record. However, the process was very slow.

‘Slow? No worries!’

In the three-meter radius area surrounding Jiang Ming’s clone, who sat cross-legged in the midair, the time flow was accelerated. At the same time, he mobilized the power of his inner world to support him in refining the seedling speedily.

Yet, he still needed a very long time to completely refine the seedling.

When he took out from the Human Path Record, he felt the intimacy he had with the seedling instantly. It was as though the seedling was his clone, and he managed to learn about it further.

‘In it has the imprints of 3,000 laws. And more 3,000 laws would be derived along its growth until it matured. The reason why I couldn’t refine it was because the grade of its imprints is far higher than my cultivation base! I’m afraid that even Riyue Changfeng doesn’t know about it. After all, this seedling is extraordinarily rare, so much so that it has no detailed reports. Luckily I have the Human Path Record. Otherwise, if I were to let it grow in here just like that, it might take over my inner world instead.’

Jiang Ming felt fear only after he learned more about the seedling itself.

The Chaotic Tree’s seedling turned into a stream of light and rooted itself in the center of the inner world. The moment it rooted, tiny root hairs grew instantaneously deep into the soil, until the inner world’s origin and landed on the Middle Chiliocosm World Heart, which was fusing continuously.

Buzz…

The next moment, following a tremor of the World Heart, the endless nature and boundless life within, were gobbled up by the seedling. It was as though a man in an arid desert had got himself a bottle of spring water.

‘The World Heart is the best manure for the Chaotic Tree’s seedling!’ Jiang Ming was aware of it as he felt the seedling’s happiness simultaneously.

It wasn’t long that the seedling produced a new leaf. It was dazzling, filled with vitality and nature. In return, it gave Jiang Ming a wisp of peculiar power, strengthening the nature of his soul just like that. Even his physical body was strengthened. Not only that, his inner world had a slight change as it was slightly evolved towards the middle chiliocosm.

‘I didn’t know that it had such a benefit!’ Jiang Ming was greatly surprised. At the same time, he was confused, wondering why Riyue Changfeng didn’t realize it.

‘I think it was because he didn’t refine it.’ Jiang Ming couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he thought of it.

‘It’s indeed a sky-defyingly great encounter!’

Jiang Ming then looked at the Middle Chiliocosm World Heart and discovered that 10 percent of it had been consumed. This finding rendered him rather speechless.

Was it akin to the World Heart, in which its completeness was merely 0.001 percent, could only nurture a leaf? No, because the inner world had to absorb part of it as well.

Jiang Ming took out the World Heart with 1 percent completeness and wondered, ‘Would this one produce 100 leaves?’

‘A Chaotic Tree needs to have 3,000 leaves at its juvenile stage. I-I…I wonder how many World Hearts I’d need to achieve that?’

The excitement was followed by a headache.

‘Well, I think I shall stop dwelling in it any further. Let’s just do it slowly!’

After some struggles, Jiang Ming threw the second Middle Chiliocosm World Heart into the origin of the inner world and had his consciousness returned to himself.

On the balcony of Chuyang Peak.

He rose to his feet and looked outside.

Blood and evil aura filled the heaven and the catastrophe was imminent. The change was imminent.

“Senior Brother, I feel something is not right, and it inexplicably gives me the heebie-jeebies!” Phoenix Junior Sister went to his side, hugged his arm and frowned, “I was awoken by the sense of the imminent catastrophe while fusing the world fire. The sense disappeared quickly after that. Very strange, isn’t it?”

“That feeling of heebie-jeebies is the misconception you have because of you sensing the changes outside yet it’s safe here.” Jiang Ming laughed, “The abyss is going to start taking actions. Soon there will be a great fireworks of all time.’

“Really?” The eyes of Phoenix Junior Sister brightened, “Since there’s such a great view, we shouldn’t miss this opportunity, should we? Come on, let’s welcome the beautiful scenery with the most primal enthusiasm!”

“Are you not afraid that you’d wreck the earth?” Jiang Ming curled his lips.

His Junior Sister was too naughty.

“I’m actually trying to fertilize the land. Come on!” Flame had surged around Junior Sister and burned her clothes as she said, “Spring water will ooze out of me and you shall offer your milk so that we can mix it into ‘milk tea’.”
