🕑 Added 2023-07-11 22:00:03 +0000 UTC
'My standard combat power has nearly hit the peak of the Dao Palace realm!'
'It's unquestionably exceeded the capabilities of an average Late-stage Dao Palace realm cultivator, hasn't it?'
'This implies that with just my standard combat power, Ji Mingxiu stands no chance against me!'
'Wow, what a thrill!'
On checking his information panel, a victorious grin inevitably found its way onto Jiang Chen's face.
At that moment.
"Jiang Chen, have...have you actually made a breakthrough!?"
Overcoming his surprise, Ji Mingxiu finally regained his composure, his entire worldview radically redefined by Jiang Chen!
"Absolutely!"
Jiang Chen nodded sincerely and affirmed, "Master, I have indeed made a breakthrough!"
"Hahaha!"
"You've made the breakthrough, you've genuinely done it!"
"Jiang Chen, you've now ascended to the Dao Comprehension realm. A Dao Comprehension realm cultivator at just twenty!"
"My goodness, our Purple Heaven Holy Land is poised to stride towards unparalleled greatness!"
"Hahaha, Jiang Chen, my heart overflows with joy, haha!"
"..."
Ji Mingxiu suddenly erupted into a luminous smile, his robust laughter echoing for an enduring while!
"Thank you, Master, for provisioning such an abundance of resources for my cultivation!"
Jiang Chen expressed his appreciation, "Without those spiritual plants, how could I have achieved this breakthrough in such a brief timespan?"
"We just added the finishing touch."
Ji Mingxiu chuckled, "Jiang Chen, from this point forward, we'll be basking in your radiance, haha!"
"Every drop of kindness will be reciprocated with a spring."
Jiang Chen declared solemnly, "I'll always remember those who've extended their help and concern towards me!"
"Jiang Chen, don't overly concern yourself about us!"
"Your mission is to keep growing until you're capable of staunchly defending the Immortal Martial Continent!"
With a satisfied gleam in his eyes, Ji Mingxiu redirected the conversation with a smile, "Also, something seems amiss with Gu Ran. You should head to the Lustrous Yang Domain soon, we can't afford to dawdle!"
"Understood!"
Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen readied himself to depart instantly.
"Just a moment."
"Now that you've ascended to the Dao Comprehension realm, your former weapons are no longer adequate."
"Here's the weapon that Mo Yu and the rest have prepared for you, a Dao Palace realm middle-level Dao treasure, the Purple Sun Thousand-Mile Sword!"
"It's one of the trio of sword artifacts crafted by our ancestor ten thousand years ago, modeled after the Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword. It encapsulates a complete subsidiary of the Sword Dao, the 'Cleaving Sword Dao'!"
While enlightening him, Ji Mingxiu handed over the Purple Sun Thousand-Mile Sword to Jiang Chen.
The Purple Sun Thousand-Mile Sword bore an uncanny resemblance to the Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword. Its hilt and guard were a deep purple, while the blade was as white and crystalline as snow. The edge, thin as a cicada's wing, emanated a subtle purple shimmer.
"A Dao treasure!"
"The apex weapon realm in the Second Step of the Cultivation Path!"
Jiang Chen received the Purple Sun Thousand-Mile Sword, his eyes sparkling with joy, "This sword will surely amplify my strengths!"
By integrating his Swift Sword Dao with the Cleaving Sword Dao, the resulting power would be staggeringly formidable!
"I'm glad it pleases you! Now, off you go!"
Ji Mingxiu responded with a slight nod, his smile beaming.
"I bid you farewell, Master!"
Without any further ado, Jiang Chen pivoted and promptly departed.
As he stepped through the doorway, a voice called out to him.
"Honorable Holy Son!"
Already awaiting him was Liu Xiong, an Elder of the Dao Comprehension realm.
Jiang Chen's destination was the Lustrous Yang Domain, and to sidestep unnecessary issues, Liu Xiong was delegated to accompany him and deal with various sundry matters.
Upon laying eyes on Jiang Chen, Liu Xiong immediately offered a respectful bow.
He too felt the overwhelming aura radiating from Jiang Chen, which only intensified his reverence!
At this juncture, Jiang Chen's standing in his mind equated to, if not surpassed, Ji Mingxiu's!
"Elder Liu Xiong, your courtesy is noted. Let's proceed!"
Jiang Chen responded to the greeting with a warm smile.
Following this, Liu Xiong escorted Jiang Chen to a covert teleportation array erected by the Purple Heaven Holy Land.
In a flare of teleportation light, the figures of Jiang Chen and Liu Xiong vanished from their initial location.
As his sight adjusted, Jiang Chen found himself in the heart of a valley, blanketed by a hazy mist.
"We salute the Esteemed Holy Son!"
One after another, silhouettes bowed down, displaying the highest form of reverence.
These were individuals from the Jing Clan of the Lustrous Yang Domain, the potent clan into which Ji Mingxiu's elder female cousin, Ji Yilan, was married.
This clan was impressively vast, possessing a Dao Palace realm powerhouse at its core.
They were concurrently one of the two most formidable powers in the Lustrous Yang Domain, and a significant influence within the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect.
In view of this, the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect often interacted with the Purple Heaven Holy Land.
Nonetheless, the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect fell short of the Purple Heaven Holy Land's stature. They had only three Dao Palace realm members, one of whom had retreated into seclusion for a millennium and was virtually deemed out of commission.
As a result, the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect generally regarded the Purple Heaven Holy Land as their superior.
At this point.
"Everyone, please rise!"
Jiang Chen, observing the cultivators prostrate all around, maintained a composed demeanor and spoke in a soothing voice.
With a gentle sweep of his hand, he assisted the cultivators in standing up, one by one.
Simultaneously, Jiang Chen's Villain's Eye had already swept over each individual present.
These people were all support characters with low Fate Value; they seemed to be living on borrowed time.
"Honorable Holy Son!"
"We are not yet in the Lustrous Yang Domain, please accompany us further!"
An excited and humble cultivator of the Jing Clan, in the Inquiring Journey realm, spoke up.
Jiang Chen's courteous behavior had eased their collective anxiety.
Previously, they had envisioned this prodigious prodigy from the Purple Heaven Holy Land as unbearably arrogant and hard to deal with.
"Please, guide the way."
Jiang Chen responded with a subtle nod of his head.
He understood that the distance between the Everflowing Truth Domain and the Lustrous Yang Domain was not something a single teleportation array could span.
Next, under the direction of the Jing Clan's cultivators, Jiang Chen and Liu Xiong journeyed through five teleportation arrays before they reached the territory of the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect.
The Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect's territory sprawled across a collection of large and small islands in the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea, offering a unique and beautiful landscape.
At Jiang Chen's behest, their movements were kept under wraps, exceedingly clandestine.
Concerning Gu Ran, Jiang Chen wanted to secure an informational edge and thus planned to proceed stealthily.
With the enemy in plain sight and him hidden in the shadows, more strategies could be implemented!
At this point, on a modest-sized island, Jiang Chen encountered Ji Yilan and her daughter, Jing Miaoyao.
"Greetings, Honorable Holy Son!"
Ji Yilan, Jing Miaoyao, and others extended their respects to Jiang Chen.
Jing Miaoyao, a stunning vision of beauty, had a delicate and refined face, radiating an alluring charm that masked the captivating enchantment within her gaze.
Her eyes, reminiscent of sparkling gems, were unmistakably attracted to Jiang Chen.
From the moment she set her eyes on Jiang Chen, Jing Miaoyao was bewitched!
This extraordinarily striking man was the same individual her mother had told her about, the paramount prodigy of the Immortal Martial Continent, the future ultimate ruler of the same.
Influential, distinguished, and with a countenance that could be regarded as peerless in the world - how could she not be enchanted by such a man?
She had been initially inclined to offer her hard-earned 'Ten Thousand Stars Dao Embryo' to Jiang Chen. After meeting him face to face, her eagerness to do so only intensified!
Indeed, the alluring young woman who had betrayed Gu Ran's trust and pilfered his bloodline was none other than her, Jing Miaoyao!
"I extend my respects to Aunt Ji and Miss Jing."
Jiang Chen reciprocated the greetings to Ji Yilan and Jing Miaoyao respectfully.
His soft voice, laden with a captivating charm, caused Jing Miaoyao's heart to flutter, further intensifying her infatuation.
