"I share your sentiments!"
A laugh escaped from Xie Xiaojing.
"In that case,"
Jiang Chen slightly inclined his head, inquiring, "Holy Maiden, have you decided where you intend to practice?"
"Well, now..."
"I have traversed much of the Purple Heaven Holy Land."
"I yearn for a destination I've yet to explore; otherwise, it would be quite a miss on thi...
Swiftly, Jiang Chen found his way back to his opulent residence.
Settling himself cross-legged in his meditation chamber, he activated the spirit-gathering formation adorning the wall.
It pulsed with a rhythmic luminescence, setting the tone for his imminent cultivation session.
In an instant, a dense wave of pure spiritual Qi flooded the room, providing an ideal enviro...
Simultaneously.
"Do you truly wish to understand the nature of this world?"
There was an element of surprise in Nangong Wan's voice, intermingled with an elusive flicker of joy.
A mirroring sentiment was palpable in Shangguan Ning's reaction.
To them, the Immortal Martial Continent was no more than a small speck in the grand scheme of things.
Yet for the l...
Immediately after, the esteem for Jiang Chen within their hearts had soared exponentially.
Initially, they had perceived Jiang Chen merely as a prodigy blessed with the mysterious bloodline of a true dragon.
However, it now appeared that Jiang Chen might be much more than they had imagined.
Despite being nothing more than vestiges of souls, their concealment within the ...
Just outside of Fang Yuan's cave mansion.
A swarm of cultivators had congregated around Jiang Chen, their visages adorned with ingratiating smiles.
At this instant.
"Why is Fang Yuan not yet visible?"
"Given that Senior Brother Jiang Chen has been here for an extended period, this is quite remiss of him."
"Indeed, having suddenly regained his ordinary cult...
"Incredible! No wonder this is the cave mansion of a disciple of the Holy Lord."
"Cultivating in such an environment definitely yields greater efficiency than anywhere else!"
With a gleeful expression, Jiang Chen arrived at the grand entrance of the Autumn Water Palace.
His uniform, a token of his status as a disciple of the Holy Lord, emitted an enchanting glow.
"Yes, Master!"
Jiang Chen responded, his face aglow with anticipation and eagerness.
For Xie Xiaojing, the excitement was genuine and palpable.
Ji Ruxue, on the other hand, found it all rather mundane, with nothing particularly thrilling about it.
Subsequently, Ji Mingxiu commenced his instruction for Jiang Chen and Ji Ruxue, including Xie Xiaojing in the teachin...
"This..."
"True, Fang Yuan isn't the type to willingly bring humiliation upon himself."
"However, can he really rely on that supposed Transcendence realm artifact to improve so dramatically that he surpasses the majority within such a limited timeframe?"
Ji Ruxue ruminated for a moment, her brow slightly furrowed.
She concurred with Jiang Chen's reasoning, but fo...
"Greetings, Holy Maiden!"
Subsequently, Jiang Chen respectfully acknowledged Xie Xiaojing, "And to you, Junior Sister Xie. Your reputation preceded you when I first set foot in the Purple Heaven Holy Land. You've certainly made quite an impression."
"Your words honor me, Senior Brother Jiang Chen!"
Elation filled Xie Xiaojing at Jiang Chen's commendation.
"Xiaoji...
"That is indeed the case."
"Fang Yuan, it would be prudent for you to foster a rapport with Jiang Chen and stave off potential conflict. Otherwise, you may find yourself entangled in a substantial predicament."
"I am aware that your initial perception of him might be less than favorable."
"However, as an unparalleled prodigy with ambitions of surmounting the Fourth Step...
Indubitably, Ji Ruxue, the Heroine, was a prize to be pursued!
Furthermore, she symbolized a perpetual opportunity to gradually erode Fang Yuan's Heavenly Fate Value.
At the current juncture, Ji Ruxue had not yet graced the magnificent sect assembly with her presence.
In the pre-established narrative, Fang Yuan was to reveal his remarkable recovery, a revelation that wo...
"So, this is the situation."
"I've heard that Junior Brother Fang Yuan has experienced his fair share of ups and downs, his cultivation base frequently showing signs of decline."
"But today, from my observation, Junior Brother Fang Yuan's cultivation base appears to demonstrate a progression. I speculate that Junior Brother Fang Yuan may have overcome his cultivation base's unfort...
"Master, I am grateful!"
Having clothed himself, Jiang Chen demonstrated his respect towards Ji Mingxiu with a deferential bow.
"Well done!"
Ji Mingxiu returned his acknowledgement with a glowing grin, nodding his approval. He then shifted his attention towards the assembly of disciples. "Why the delay? Show your respect to your senior brother Jiang Chen!"
"Salutatio...
It needed to be conceded.
The protagonist, Fang Yuan, was truly outrageously extraordinary!
His innate aptitude was staggeringly powerful, unequivocally belonging to the Perfect Grade category, showing virtually no discernible deviation from the current Jiang Chen.
At this juncture, he had even managed to secure the support of two venerable beings from the Late-stage Void T...
With these words spoken, he acknowledged Jiang Chen with a nod, then confidently strode towards the exterior of the sect's Main Hall, taking the lead.
Mo Yu and the rest promptly followed his lead.
Like a subtle shadow, Jiang Chen trailed behind them, yet abruptly halted after just a few steps.
The plan had been previously discussed; he was fully aware that he was to be sum...
"A grand sect assembly?"
"Are they declaring the schedule for the Holy Son competition tomorrow, and finalizing the contestants?"
With eyes narrowed to slits, Fang Yuan's fists gradually tightened. "The Holy Son competition... It's not only that I must enter; I also must secure the Holy Son's title!"
If Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning had remained dormant,
Fang Yuan w...
To clarify, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning's reliance on Fang Yuan's cultivation base wasn't an absolute necessity.
They could, in theory, draw upon someone else's.
Provided one achieved the Heavenly Origin realm, and the essence of their Heavenly Origin wasn't woefully inferior, they could lend support in recuperation.
However, apprehension arose from the prospect that Fan...
Amid a swirling vortex of Spiritual Qi, a young man sat immersed in profound meditation.
His features were honed, his visage handsome, and his demeanor was laced with a hint of frosty severity.
This individual was none other than Fang Yuan.
From his being radiated waves signifying a cultivation base in the Late-stage Spiritual Awakening realm.
Intriguingly, these vib...
In those days, Fang Yuan was akin to a rising star, magnetizing the attention of all around him.
Some visionaries even speculated his imminent progression into the Third Step of the Cultivation Path.
Such was his radiance that even the esteemed Purple Heaven Holy Lord, Ji Mingxiu, exhibited a significant interest in him, going as far as to probe Ji Ruxue about her potential attrac...
"The competition for the Holy Son's title?"
The words caused Jiang Chen's brows to subtly furrow, repeating the statement quietly to himself.
No doubt, an event of such a sweeping scale could hardly be overlooked by the protagonist. It was an absolute certainty that he would surface at the preordained moment!
"Correct!"
"The competition for the Holy Son's title!"
...
In the midst of this moment.
A melodious voice, reminiscent of a gently babbling brook, echoed throughout the surroundings. It was Ji Ruxue announcing, "Father, Jiang Chen from the Starry Abyss Sect has arrived."
'A father-daughter bond?'
'Ji Mingxiu is quite advanced in age, yet he has such a youthful daughter. Could it be a case of late fatherhood?'
Jiang Chen cont...
Before long, five figures entered the Handyman Hall, each emitting a formidable aura indicative of the Heavenly Origin realm!
With a brief scan using Jiang Chen's Villain's Eye...
They were identified as supporting characters.
Their Fate Values floated around the five hundred mark, suggesting they had a considerable amount of time ahead.
'Just as I predicted!'
A resonant whoosh echoed!
Jiang Chen found himself tangled within a tube of vibrant luminescence.
His entire existence was subjected to overwhelming pressure and shearing forces.
Without the exceptional physical resilience conferred by the Heavenly Origin realm, he would unquestionably have been ground to dust.
Inside this radiating passage.
Jiang Chen's perce...
"Sect Master Feng Jun,"
Jiang Chen proffered a serene smile, "I harbor strong conviction in your potential to ascend to the Heavenly Origin realm and acquire the credentials necessary to tread the exalted ground of Everflowing Truth Central Domain."
"Your words of encouragement mean the world to me, Supreme Elder!"
Feng Jun replied, his vigorous nods conveying his palpable ...
In an instant, Chu Xingming's legacy statue seemed to stir, its dignified bearing shifting in a mesmerizing fashion.
"Incredible!"
"To believe that despite the spiritual Qi depletion in the Everflowing Truth Northern Domain, a being capable of reaching the Heavenly Origin realm exists!"
"I'm unaware of your identity, but you must indeed be a prodigious talent of unprecedent...
The Bright Cloud Continent was famed for its awe-inspiring landscapes, and Celestial Lake City was a testament to this reputation.
On this particular day, the city was illuminated with festive fervor, a rich mosaic of lantern-lit vessels gently swaying on the lake's reflective surface.
Mirthful laughter and lively cheers reverberated across the waters, while the air hummed with th...
While a whirlwind of excitement unfolded within the courtyard.
Jiang Chen was en route to the pinnacle of the Starry Abyss Heavenly Peak.
In a short span, he breached the sea of clouds that shrouded the mountain's midpoint.
Finally, he landed on the pristine, ethereal summit.
Stationed at the apex was an ancient, diminutive hall that radiated a timeless aura.
...
Drawing a deep breath, Jiang Chen quieted his thoughts, steadfastly preparing to immerse himself in the cultivation process.
After all, the realm of one's cultivation base forever served as the essential cornerstone.
'Now, my cultivation base has progressed to the Late-stage Heavenly Origin realm, thus rendering the Ten-Turn Harmonious Spirit Pill obsolete.'
'It appears the...
Instantly, Jiang Chen experienced an intense warmth as though he had swallowed a globe of radiant sunlight.
Subsequently, an explosion of golden dragon motifs erupted from his abdomen, akin to countless miniature golden dragons running amok within his body.
Were his physical form of average constitution, he would have exploded on the spot, succumbing to a gruesome demise.
H...
"Now, onto the third cultivation method, 'Heavenly Spring Coalescing Sea Records'!"
Jiang Chen announced, commencing the recall of this complex method's comprehensive content.
Mastering the 'Heavenly Spring Coalescing Sea Records' would significantly enhance the reserves and purity of a Heavenly Origin realm cultivator's Yuan Power!
Before long, Jiang Chen had accurately re...
