Chapter 42 – The Revival of the Empress’ Soul and Soaring Strength
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Ming was surprised that his Junior Sister ran into the experts from the Devil Sect. Moreover, the experts from the Devil Sect were strong enough to force the Jiuyang Sect elders to show themselves. Nevertheless, he was pleased that she managed to escape.
Apart from that, he was also amazed his Junior Sister managed to stumble upon the Tomb of Extreme Path. He began to grow slightly suspicious. Before she left, she had told him she could sense a great opportunity waiting for her outside. Then, she did not even leave that long ago, but she had already stumbled upon a great opportunity. Moreover, he was also bewildered by how easily she had obtained the legacy without encountering any danger.
Jiang Ming knew what the Extreme Path was. He had read about it in ‘A Detailed Explanation on Human Cultivation Realms’. There were ten cultivation realms: Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Purple Mansion, Dao Seed, Nascent Soul, Primal Spirit, Paradis, Extreme Path, and Imminent Immortal.
An Extreme Path expert was so strong that he or she could easily annihilate the Jiuyang Sect.
Jiang Ming rose to his feet; he could not help but feel worried. After a moment, he vanished from sight as soon as the void began to distort and ripple. When he reappeared, he was already far from the mountain entrance. Then, in the next second, he vanished again.
…
The bright moon hung in the dark sky as Jiang Ming traveled using the Akasa Network at an incredibly fast pace. At the same time, he swept through the surroundings with his consciousness.
In the end, he found three of Jiuyang Sect disciples who were with his Junior Sister earlier. As for the others, he had no idea if they were alive or dead. However, since the three disciples only looked tired and not sad, he assumed the others were only separated and still alive.
Jiang Ming did not show himself. Instead, he called up the Human Path Records and checked on his Junior Sister’s status.
Name: Zi Linglong
Gender: Female
Cultivation base: Purple Mansion Realm
Background: Disciple of Jiuyang Sect’s Chuyang Peak
Relationship: 95
Innate Talent: Immortal(primary phoenix bloodline)
Status: She has successfully refined the medicine king’s essence, opened up her sea of consciousness, and broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm. She rested for a while and is now continuing to absorb the refined medicine king’s essence, which raised her cultivation base tremendously.
“Is Junior Sister the protagonist or the heaven’s child?” Jiang Ming wondered out loud. His Junior Sister’s progress was heaven-defying!
When his Junior Sister awakened her phoenix bloodline, she was still a naive little girl with not much experience both social and cultivation-wise. Her swift and sudden rise to the 9th Stage of the Golden Core Realm could be explained by her extraordinary bloodline. However, to progress to the Purple Mansion Realm when she was away from the mountain without any protection was truly baffling. It could be attributed to her bloodline alone.
Apart from that, her innate talent had risen as well. Jiang Ming was not certain if there were grades for ‘Immortal’ innate talent, but it should be almost impossible for one to raise one’s innate talent. After all, there was a reason it was called ‘innate’ talent. It was something given by the heavens and something one was born with. However, his Junior Sister’s innate talent had risen from 8 Stars to Immortal.
In the end, he concluded his Junior Sister must have obtained a Clock of Fortune or something like that.
The thing that pleased him the most was despite his Junior Sister’s tremendous improvement, their relationship value remained the same.
Jiang Ming searched around for the Tomb of Extreme Path, but his efforts were in vain. When dawn was close at hand, he called up the Human Path Records again. When he saw there were no changes, he decided to return to the mountain.
‘Since Junior Sister is abnormally lucky, she should be fine,’ Jiang Ming thought to himself in an attempt to reassure himself.
…
After returning to the mountain, he brewed a pot of tea before he began to cultivate.
The Dao rhythm rang in his ears. The sound of deadly silence from ancient times, the vibrant sound of creation and nature, the silent buzz of killing intent, and the energy fluctuations that were like wind blades entered his ears one after another.
…
Jiang Ming improved tremendously every day.
Apart from cultivating, he had also spared time to look for spiritual seeds. He had also asked for Chunyang Peak’s Zhang Junbao’s help to look for spiritual seeds. With that, he continued to farm.
…
In just a blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
When Jiang Ming checked on his Junior Sister, he was shocked and bewildered. His Junior Sister was now in the Dao Seed Realm. He exclaimed in shock, “How’s this possible?”
If he did not have the Human Path Records, he would have thought his Junior Sister’s soul had been swapped out from her body.
‘One can only break through to the Dao Seed Realm after filling the Purple Mansion with mana. One also needed to form a Dao Seed by comprehending a Sambodha. All of this would take a long time to accomplish so how did she break through so quickly? Does she have a system as well?’ Jiang Ming wondered inwardly, perplexed.
‘Although I have a system that provides me with cheats, I’m only at the Dao Seed Realm. Junior Sister started cultivating later than I did, but we have the same cultivation base now. Who would believe that a 13-year-old girl is a Dao Seed cultivator?’ Jiang Ming smiled wryly as he thought about this.
If it were not for the fact that their relationship value did not change, he would have suspected that something was terribly wrong with his junior sister.
In the end, he could only tell himself that his junior sister was just extremely lucky. At the same time, he was no longer worried about her since he knew she was now capable of protecting herself.
Jiang Ming smiled and shook his head as he thought to himself, ‘I should cultivate diligently as well. Otherwise, I’d have to rely on Junior Sister to protect me in the future.”
There were quite a few Dao Seeds in Jiang Ming’s sea of consciousness. He had gathered the five elemental Dao Seeds such as wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Apart from that, there were also thunder, wind, life, death, and other seeds.
He was preparing to merge the five elements and to comprehend the mysteries of Yin Yang and the law of space. He knew he had a long journey ahead of him. Fortunately, he had a huge supply of mana. All he needed to do was drink the tea he brewed with the Enlightening Tea Leaves and cultivate.
…
In the main hall of Jiuyang Sect’s main peak.
Gu Hai asked with a worried expression, “Sect Master, do you have any news about Linglong? It’s been three months since she left! Most of the disciples who left with her have already returned. Why don’t we have news about her? Did you really send people to look for her?”
Dongfang Lie, the First Seat of Lieyang Peak, snorted. “Gu Hai, watch your words. Linglong has a high innate talent and should’ve stayed in the sect to cultivate. However, you let her venture down the mountain! Do you feel you have too many disciples on Chuyang Peak? Or do you think the sect doesn’t have a need for a rare genius like her? You should’ve been stripped of your position as the First Seat a long time ago!”
“You!” Gu Hai was furious.
At this time, Yin Yue, the First Seat of Jiaoyang Peak, cocked an eyebrow and said, “Dongfang Lie, the Sect Master agreed to let Linglong leave the sect. I remember you agreed as well. In fact, you even said it’s good for a talented disciple like Linglong to venture out and gain experience. Now that things don’t look good, you intend to push all the blame to Senior Brother Gu?”
Yue Cheng, the First Seat of Zhiyang Peak, tried to mediate and said, “Alright, alright. Little Linglong is highly talented and blessed. I’m sure she’s fine. Moreover, no news is good news, right?”
At this moment, a streak of light suddenly shot into the main hall.
When the Sect Master caught it in his hand, the light dissipated, revealing a letter. After reading the letter, he rose to his feet abruptly with a furious expression on his face.
Upon seeing this, Gu Hai trembled slightly as his face turned pale.. He asked, “W-what happened? D-did something happen to Linglong?”
