Chapter 51: The Three Stages of the Akasa; A Delicate Cry of Senior Brother

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Ming was shocked when he realized it was his junior sister who had cut down the old man’s Primal Spirit. He would not be so surprised if her cultivation base was really high. After all, with a high cultivation base, one would have to comprehend the spatial Sambodha and the derivative of spatial Sambodha. However, with her current cultivation base, when did she have the time to comprehend these Sambodhas?

Even the most talented cultivator needed more than three months to raise his or her cultivation base from the Golden Core Realm to the Dao Seed Realm while comprehending the spatial Sambodha. If his junior sister truly managed to achieve such a feat, then she was truly remarkable.

Swoosh!

Jiang Ming called up the Human Path Records.

Name: Zi Linglong

Gender: Female

Cultivation base: Dao Seed Realm

Background: Disciple of Jiuyang Sect’s Chuyang Peak.

Relationship: 95

Innate Talent: Immortal (intermediate phoenix bloodline)

Status: After coming out of Yun Tianlong’s secret tomb, she ran into two devil cultivators and killed them. Then, after she ran into the flood dragon, Bai Haitian, and his people, Bai Yu suddenly appeared. After Bai Yu killed Bai Haitian, she watched the battle between Bai Yu and Jiang Ming, who made a sudden appearance. When she sensed the aura of a Primal Spirit cultivator, she hurriedly hid in the void. When the Primal Spirit cultivator’s Primal Spirit was trying to flee, she cast her special ability and quickly ended his life.

‘My junior sister is really impressive. She’s able to hide her presence from a Primal Spirit cultivator. Is this the power of the phoenix bloodline?’

“Thank you, Senior,” Zi Linglong said as she placed her hands in front of her and bowed. She was standing quite a distance away from Jiang Ming, amazed and slightly fearful of the strength of the person standing in front of her. She was certain the person in front of her was in the Dao Seed Realm. However, the mana he possessed was even greater than that of a Primal Spirit cultivator. She had never met someone like him before. Not only that, but his physical strength and power were one of the strongest she had seen of people with the same cultivation bases as him.

‘Why don’t I remember anything about him from my previous life? This is impossible. I’m sure there isn’t such a person in Qingyun Sect. What’s his purpose? Why wasn’t he known in my previous life?’ Zi Linglong could not find any answers despite how hard she racked her brain for answers. She sighed inwardly as she thought to herself, “Even the softest gust of wind can stir up a storm and bring about great destruction. Fate truly works in an unpredictable and mysterious way. In any case, I’m still too weak. I have to spend time exploring all the other secret tombs that have yet to be found. And then, there’s that place… I have to go to that place and obtain the things there…’

While countless thoughts raced through Zi Linglong’s mind, Jiang Ming flicked his sleeve and said, “Don’t mention it.”

After collecting the spoils of his battle, he thought about it for a moment before he decided against giving them to his junior sister. After all, he did not gain these things through righteous means. At the same time, he briefly wondered if he should reveal his identity to her but quickly dismissed that idea. He was not the strongest yet so until then, he had to be very careful.

“You should leave now. There are people watching,” Jiang Ming said as he glanced into the distance. There was someone observing them from afar. However, since he was not very strong yet, and he was alone, he decided not to pursue the matter. After saying that, he turned around and left.

Meanwhile, Zi Linglong stood with her hands clasped in front of her as she looked at the figure that was slowly disappearing into the distance. Then, she left the area as well, still confused.

…

After traveling a distance away, Jiang Ming sensed his junior sister had left using the void so she would not leave any traces behind. With that, he sighed in relief.

Then, he called up the Human Path Records and read it as he flew back.

…

The Infinite Alchemy Pavilion in Zhong Province.

This Sacred Land was located among the mountains. One of the mountains, which was more than 5,000 feet tall, towered above the clouds. From a distance, it looked like a cauldron.

The peak of the mountain was constantly spitting out fire that reached 1,000 meters high.

People could be seen around the fire from time to time, and without an exception, all of them had very powerful auras.

Many palaces could be seen at the peak of the other mountains. They were all, without fail, majestic and glowed with a divine light. It was not hard to deduce that these were the residences of powerful people.

At this moment, a thunderous cry rang from one of the palaces.

“Holy Lord, the Holy Son’s soul token has shattered! The four men are dead, and even Zhang Fan, his guardian, is dead!”

“What?! How’s that possible?! Who dares to kill him? Who’s capable of killing him? Are they trying to wage a war with the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion?”

“Holy Lord, before Elder Zhang Fan met his demise, he sent a message with his Primal Spirit saying it’s the Qingyun Sect.”

“The Qingyun Sect? Indeed, Xiao Yu was in the Eastern Region. In that place, only Qingyun Sect has the guts to do something like this! The Holy Son is our pride. Killing him is tantamount to trampling on our pride and dignity. Since they want war, we’ll give them war. Pass on my order! We’re going to the Eastern Region! We’re going to annihilate the Qingyun Sect and conquer the Eastern Region!”

Soon after, a wave of terrifying energy erupted one after another from the palaces in the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion.

One of the people who had gathered was so strong that he could even tear the void open with his bare hands. Following that, a sword appeared in his hand before he vanished into thin air.

…

It did not take long for news of Bai Yu’s death to spread in Zhong Province.

“The Holy Son of the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion was killed in the Eastern Region? How dare they kill the Holy Son of Zhong Province? They must have a death wish. I’m going to show the Eastern Region what we’re made of! Who’s with me?”

“Me! I’d like to meet the cultivator in the Eastern Region who managed to kill our Holy Son!”

“Although Bai Yu was sinister and ruthless, he’s one of the few who could represent Zhong Province. Killing him is tantamount to slapping our faces! Let’s go!”

“The Infinite Alchemy Pavilion won’t sit back and do nothing either. It’s highly likely the two Sacred Lands will go to war. How can I not join in the fun? I’ll bring the 99 fairies from the Hundred Flowers Chamber to entertain everyone during our trip!”

…

Following that, news of Bai Yu’s death quickly spread to the Northern, Southern, and Western Regions as well.

This was big news since the Holy Son of the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion was a prominent figure. Not only did he possess the Heaven Overlord Body, but he was also the strongest among the younger generations in the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion as well.

Everyone had high expectations of Bai Yu. In the future, no one doubted he would become the Holy Lord of the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion. He was very famous in Zhong Province. He was not as strong as the older generation yet, but he would have surpassed them in the future. It was unfortunate that he had died before he could realize his potential.

…

Jiuyang Sect in the Eastern Region.

Jiang Ming was unaware of the storm that was brewing in the horizon as a result of him killing Bai Yu.

After arriving at Jiuyang sect, he returned to Chuyang Peak. At this moment, he stood on the rooftop and gazed into the distance, thinking about the earlier battle.

“My mana is greater than that of a Primal Spirit cultivator. My body is also stronger than the Heaven Overlord Body. I should’ve been able to deal with Zhang Fan, who was in the Primal Spirit Realm, swiftly, and yet, it took me such a long time just to deal with him. I think the problem is that… I didn’t comprehend my special abilities enough.”

Jiang Ming had a lot of powerful special abilities. However, he had yet to comprehend and master them completely. For example, he had only comprehended the Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi and the Nine Divine Mountain Treasures to the rudimentary stage. These two were his strongest special abilities. If he had comprehended them to the mastery stage, it would have been like a walk in the park to kill Zhang Fan.

“I should focus on comprehending these two special abilities when I’m comprehending the Sambodhas, especially the Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi.”

There were three stages to the Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi. First, there were the invisible energy swords. When they fused with the void, they would be invisible and silent. However, their speed was very fast. One would be considered to have mastered this stage once one was capable of manifesting nine energy swords.

The second stage was to fuse all nine energy swords into one. With that, it would be able to travel through space and kill an enemy that was thousands of miles away in just an instant.

The third stage was strengthening the energy swords until they were capable of piercing through the void.

“Once I’ve fully comprehended this special ability, I’ll be able to master the space Sambodha as well…”

…

While Jiang Ming was immersed in his thoughts, Zi Linglong finally returned to Jiuyang sect. After speaking to the Sect Master, she looked for Jiang Ming immediately.

“Senior Brother!” Zi Linglong called out.. Her eyes were as bright as the moon as she threw herself into Jiang Ming’s arms like a fledgling that had just returned to its nest.
