Chapter 325: Killing Tai Jian

The clouds fleet through the sky as the sun and the moon rotated in shifts.

Even though hundreds of millions of years had flown by, its color seemed to be never-changing for eternity.

As the sun was changing its shift with the moon, the crimson sunset tinted the horizon in a warm red glint. It was a magnificent view that no one could shift their gaze away from.

As the cloudy wind was ushered by the soft breeze, Jiang Ming was preparing dinner on top of the roof.

“It’s so fishy and so fresh!” As Junior Sister Phoenix sniffed her nose, her eyes were gleaming and saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth. Her drooling saliva was crystal clear, as it even reflected seven-colored rays of light under the evening sun.

They were like elongated silk thread, swaying in the wind.

“Doesn’t it taste like you?” Jiang Ming asked with a smile.

“Senior brother, how are so naughty!”

“Speaking of naughty, how can I be compared to you?”

“Of course you’re not as naughty as I am! Hee hee! Senior Brother, I’m coming!”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t!”

Whoosh…

Junior sister Phoenix leapt up and fell right onto him.

Jiang Ming stumbled as he started feeling a little unsure of himself. He then shook his waist and straightened his chest.

He was enjoying the seafood while watching the sunset.

There were even melodious whispers lingering in the air.

Such freshness!

Such fishy taste!

Such fragrance!

As the sun slowly set, giving way to the rising moon, the stars started shining bright.

The melodious whispers became even more passionate.

If you were to listen closely, the whispers might be as high as the tide, surging and rushing; but if you were to listen again, it seemed to have turned into a rather charming and mellow tone, as though it was just a dream.

As the moon ended its shift, giving way to the rising of the sun, Jiang Ming shivered suddenly as his body froze. He remained still for a long time.

“Such comfort!” After a while, he looked over at the sunrise and couldn’t help but praise, “Beautiful!”

“The sunrise and sunset every day are just so beautiful!” Jiang Ming sighed again.

“Are you saying that it’s a good day?”

“No, I’m talking about the sun!”

Under the soft caress of the sun, the two chatted and admired the beautiful scenery.

Jiang Ming cooked breakfast again.

This time it was a very simple meal, Seafood congee.

As they ate and cleaned up, a reminder suddenly rang in Jiang Ming’s subconscious.

“Ding: Congratulations to the host for enjoying a delicious breakfast. Rewarded with a Taiyi Seed of killing law!”

Jiang Ming was slightly startled.

‘To think that I am rewarded with such a thing. Is it indicating for me to break through?’

It was actually quite the right time for a breakthrough.

In the Supreme Pagoda, it had become almost impossible to get more points already.

Therefore, it was now meaningless to continue staying in the Golden Immortal Realm.

‘I’ll just wait for a little longer!’ Jiang Ming pondered, and threw the Junior Sister Phoenix who was entangling him to the side, “Go and cultivate!”

“Senior Brother! You bastard! You threw me away soon after you finished enjoying me!” Junior Sister Phoenix complained.

Jiang Ming pursed his lips, waved his hand and sealed off his surroundings, so that he could enjoy the purity and peace.

This clone of his Junior Sister’s was difficult to deal with! No! It was just that she didn’t want others to relax even for a moment.

‘Alas! It’s so frustrating. She’s even more mischievous than a spirit itself. What a happy trouble!’

Jiang Ming laid down on a rattan chair and let out a sigh of relief.

As he swayed gently on the chair, he took another sip of tea and ate some fruits.

Such a beautiful day it was!

At the same time, he was also looking at the records in the Human Path Record.

…

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

The opening day of the Infinite Realm Auction House was getting closer and closer.

On one noon, Jiang Ming, who squinted his eyes, suddenly became a little bit more energetic.

‘I finally got the chance!’

Two clones appeared next to him, handed two jade talismans at the same time, and then put them into the Human Path Record.

In the Abyss where the secret realm of Saint Demon Lord was, Tai Jian entered the secret realm together with Heavenly Buddha and the other experts. Although there were some effects from the array formation in the secret realm, their cultivations were strong enough to tremble the world, hence it did not affect them much.

After all, the array formation was not a killing formation.

They went on to explore and encountered many exotic flowers and plants, which would make a Golden Immortal become ecstatic upon seeing them. However, Tai Jian and others didn’t care much about these.

At their level of cultivation, there weren’t many items that would intrigue them already.

As they went onwards, they were also comprehending the Dao marks left by the Saint Demon Lord.

“Taoist Heavenly Buddha, is there a difference between these stigmata and the legacy of the Holy Buddha?” Tai Jian asked.

“There are!” Heavenly Buddha answered without hesitation, “We all possess the inheritance of the Holy Dao. It is considered a secret to the outsiders, but to us, they are nothing much! Alas! The Holy Dao! The Holy Dao is to comprehend the mind of the heavens, the origin, and the laws. It is to reflect the mind of the heavens with one’s own mind, and to transcend heaven and earth. It promotes the thought of being the center of the world where all laws return to its origin, becoming the source of oneness. Each type of the Holy Dao is different. Although each of them can mobilize the power of the origin of heaven and earth, their forms are also very different. ”

“That’s right!” Vermillion Bird nodded, “The path of the Holy Dao is ultimately a path towards detachment. It first integrates the heart of heaven, touches the origin, followed by cutting off the shackles and detaching from heaven and earth. From then on, the person can fully control his life and become another form of life. The essence of the Holy Dao is very clear and apparent but what can we do to achieve it? Alas! That’s the difficult question!”

“The path of Holy Dao is difficult! More so than ascending into the blue sky!” Tai Jian sighed, “Being able to see the path of Holy Dao, yet it remains hazy and out of reach.”

The three of them chatted happily.

Dragon Monarch on the other hand, was somewhat confused.

Although he was powerful, he did not have the inheritance of the Holy Dao after all.

“Holy Dao! The Holy Dao!” Dragon Monarch lamented in his heart.

He quietly listened to the three of them talking in detail.

These were obviously not something too much of a secret and they did not hide from him.

Along the way, they broke through many restrictions and saw many stigmata.

There were either on comprehension or imprint, line after line.

Although there were some fights along the way, no one dared to make a move against them.

As for the Great Demon Venerate?

He was yet to be found.

Finally, they found themselves in a peculiar place.

Clouds of black fog were gathering or drifting away from time to time, as various strange and wonderful illusions evolved.

“That’s…” the Heavenly Buddha looked forward, froze for a moment, and said excitedly, “Each black fog is composed of countless stigmata, which are scattered and combined. They are extremely random, like real clouds. *Hiss!* This is equivalent to the random combination of laws, and the random dispersal of them! The Holy Dao of the Saint Demon Lord is really incredible.”

“Stimata transforming into shapes and combining with each other. Every combination can evolve into infinite wonderful results. I’m afraid that there will be different inheritances of the Holy Dao inside!” Tai Jian was a little excited, “In order to train me, Tai Shang once performed such a feat for me! The situation is almost similar! Everyone, I’ll go check it out first.”

He turned into a sword light and rushed over, disappearing without a trace as he touched a black cloud.

Strangely, this black cloud was not dissipating, nor was it merging. It was merely floating inside.

“I’m afraid the Great Demon Venerate is here!” Heavenly Buddha had a thought. “The outside had also been properly arranged. Once he appears, we will definitely sense it as soon as possible. With our cultivation base, it shouldn’t be difficult for us to break through the Saint Demon Venerate’s holy stigmata. Everyone, since we’ve encountered such a thing, let’s take a look!”

“Alright!” Vermillion Bird also flew onwards.

Dragon Monarch also didn’t hesitate to do the same.

Heavenly Buddha however, waited for a while. As a pair of Buddha eyes pierced through the false void, trying to see through the secrets of the black cloud, he unfortunately couldn’t get much from it.

He slapped in the air, hitting the black cloud that Vermillion Bird had submerged into.

The power of his Buddha’s Palm had been condensed to the extreme that it dissipated the black fog and Vermillion Bird fell out of it.

“Heavenly Buddha, are you trying to kill me?” Vermillion Bird was furious.

“Fellow Taoist! It’s merely a misunderstanding!” Heavenly Buddha smiled, “I just want to test the power of this black cloud and now it seems that it really can’t trap us. It should be the training ground and a place of enlightenment set by the Saint Demon Venerate. Please continue!”

Vermillion Bird snorted coldly as she sensed the surroundings for a little, before disappearing into another black cloud.

The Heavenly Buddha also turned into a trickle of light and went into one of them.

Inside one of the black clouds, which looked rather small. Tai Jian had got to a vast area with many stone monuments standing. Every stone tablet was like a sword, impaled straight into the sky, echoing the supreme sword intent.

‘All of these are the evolution of stigmata and every sword tablet represents a kind of Sword Dao!’ After Tai Jian was done getting excited, he couldn’t help but sigh, ‘Alas, the Holy Dao! Although the Holy Dao is but just one path, there are more than ten thousand methods to them. Even though these are not as good as the master’s Sword Dao, each of them is no worse than the ones that I’ve realized!’

‘By comprehending the path of Sword Dao here, and combined with what the master has taught me, it will definitely allow me to take a step further in the way of Sword Dao. Hopefully I can enter the realm of Demi-Sage through this!’

‘Demi Sage!’

‘Saint Lord!’

‘Jiang Ming!’

As Tai Jian thought, he inexplicably thought of Jiang Ming and gnashed his teeth in anger.

The humiliation by Jiang Ming to him was too great.

He had made him the laughing stock of all the beings of the Heavenly Realm.

“Just you wait!”

Tai Jian felt the stability of this space first. When he found that his best strike could easily break it, he felt relieved.

He went over to a sword monument, observed it carefully and started to comprehend it wholeheartedly.

Soon, he closed his eyes and slowly comprehended it carefully.

However, he suddenly opened his eyes right this very moment and saw two figures appearing in front of him, along with the eruption of the light of destruction.

“Damn it! This is the Thousands Buddha Palm of the Heavenly Buddha!” Tai Jian couldn’t help exclaiming.
