Translator: 549690339

Jiang Yuan pulled back his scattered thoughts.

He broke off a small piece of the spiritual vein jade marrow and popped it into his mouth.

With his tough teeth, he easily crushed it into pieces and swallowed it.

This was a choice he had to make for his aim to break through to the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm before the opening of the Pearl Cave.

Only this way, could he have a chance to quickly break through to the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm.

Just as Lu Qingshan had said previously.

Having been defeated by him once, Black Python was very likely to seek a transformational great demon as its backer.

His own strength was not enough.

There was a big realm gap, if it was an ordinary transformational great demon and a great cultivator in Divine Bridge Realm.

He might still be able to engage in battle with them.

But those were all heavenly geniuses, and they were top-notch heavenly geniuses.

Their strength was incomparable to that of ordinary transformational great demons or great cultivators in the Divine Bridge Realm.

They could also fight across realms.

Jiang Yuan was then plunged into arduous cultivation.

He didn’t dare to waste a single moment.

Before entering the Pearl Cave, the more realms he could break through, the safer he would be.

After entering the Pearl Cave, there was a year’s time.

As long as he could break through to the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm, he would ultimately have the chance to connect the two bridges of heaven and man and achieve the Divine Bridge Realm.

On the other side.

The Sunset Sect.

A middle-aged man filled with authority strode into the hall.

“Greetings to the King of Divine Power!” Feng Xiaotian and the others paid their respects, faces reverent.

In Qianyuan Kingdom’s imperial family, those who could have titles were all great cultivators at Dharma Realm.

This man, who could be named after divine power, was certainly not ordinary and his combat strength must be incredibly terrifying.

The King of Divine Power nodded slightly, “What is so important that requires me to come?”

Feng Xiaotian glanced at Sect Master Ling Feng, then said indifferently, “Second Elder, you tell him!”

“Alright!” He nodded.

Then said, “King of Divine Power, please look at this!”

He flicked his wrist and a scroll of beast skin flew to the King of Divine Power.

His brows creased slightly as he took it and slowly unrolled it.

At this moment, the entire hall fell silent.

A few moments later.

The King of Divine Power spoke with a serious expression, “A fifth level Spiritual Sea Realm under twenty years old! It really is a bit horrifying!”

Feng Xiaotian also chimed in, “His speed of breakthroughs is too terrifying! His future achievement of Dharma Realm is practically a certainty!”

“I worry that after he achieves Dharma, he will come to take revenge on the Sunset Sect, and even the Qianyuan Imperial Family, especially since we will be storming the gate of the Supreme Mystery Sect in two years.”

“This man has received the favor of the Supreme Mystery Sect, once he escapes and does not fall in this catastrophe, he will undoubtedly be a big problem for us in the future.”

Hearing these words, the King of Divine Power laughed inwardly.

It’s not us, but you guys after all.

Even if he actually achieves the Dharma Realm, so what?

Qianyuan Kingdom is not a place that a mere Dharma Realm can shake.

Not to mention, behind us there is an even bigger backer.

However, these words would never be spoken out loud.

Including the disrespectful actions Feng Xiaotian just took, he would not pick at them now.

For the plan two years into the future, these things can be endured.

The Sunset Sect is still useful, very useful, paying a handsome price for a horse’s bones is important.

Two years later, after settling the problems within the sect, new talents will be needed. The Sunset Sect is one of those “bones”.

As for Jiang Yuan, as they said, he truly can be considered a problem.

But it was not necessary to eliminate him, if he could be absorbed, it would be better.

With these thoughts, he slowly said, “You guys don’t have to worry about Jiang Yuan.”

“With his strength, he will certainly participate in the soon-to-be-opened Pearl Cave.”

“Zhou Ting will look for him then, now Zhou Ting has achieved the Divine Bridge Realm, ranking fifth on the Heavenly Ranking.”

“No matter how outstanding Jiang Yuan is, when compared with my nephew Zhou Ting, he ultimately falls short by a big margin in terms of realm!”

Upon hearing the King of Divine Power’s words, people like Feng Xiaotian instantly heaved a huge sigh of relief.

Then said, “Since the King of Divine Power has such an arrangement, we don’t have to worry! The divine aura of Prince Zhou Ting is well known to us!”

“Unexpectedly, Prince Zhou Ting has taken this last step in these few months!”

“He is truly one of the most outstanding descendants of the Human King.”

The King of Divine Power also slowly nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

Zhou Ting was the nephew he valued the most, and he did not disappoint his expectations.

Over forty years old, and he had already comprehended the realm and state of Unity of Heaven and Man, successfully connecting the two bridges of Heaven and Man and achieving Divine Bridge Realm.

In a blink of an eye.

A month later.

Feeling the filled spiritual sea in his body, Jiang Yuan was overjoyed.

He didn’t expect that this breakthrough to the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm would only take a little more than a month.

Opportunity was crucial indeed.

The effectiveness of the intermediate Spirit Gathering Array and resources also limited my performance.

Feeling that the right moment was here, he had a thought.

The Spiritual Sea started to expand rapidly, breaking through was just a natural result for him.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Yuan stood up, looking at the spiritual sea, which ranged seventy-five zhang and three in his body, his mood became extremely relaxed.

Then, he unfolded his divine sense, instantly covering an area of thirteen hundred zhang.

This was the change after his breakthrough.

Not only had the total volume of his spiritual sea greatly increased, but his divine soul had also become stronger, and his divine sense had strengthened accordingly.

Compared to before his breakthrough, his strength had at least increased by seventy to eighty percent.

This was the gap.

Feeling the strong power he now possessed, he was even more excited about his journey to the Pearl Cave, which was coming in half a month’s time.

Upon seeing Jiang Yuan rise, Shu Xiaoxiao knew that he had completed his breakthrough.

She walked over and said, “Young Master, your bathwater is ready!”

Jiang Yuan absorbed the qi movement from Shu Xiaoxiao and then opened his status panel to take a look.

[Name]: Jiang Yuan

[Realm]: Spiritual Sea Realm, Level Eight

[Innate Qi Movement]: Ancient Double Pupils (Gold), Five Elements Holy Body (Purple), Divine Soul Fetal Breath (Purple), Endless Longevity (Purple), Human Emperor Bloodline (Purple), Unprecedented Intelligence (Purple), Dragon-Elephant Overlord Body (Purple), Gluttonous Belly (Purple), Divine Archer (Blue)

[Luck Power]: 1689

[Luck Seed]: None

[Heavenly Destiny]: Activatable (Can be activated by consuming Luck Power. The more consumed, the larger the destiny to be discovered, and the longer the cooldown period.)

Seeing the three words “can be activated” in the Heavenly Destiny column, he remained unmoved.

These words had already appeared a few days ago.

But he didn’t want to use it.

The Pearl Cave was a world left behind by a deceased Demon King. The opportunities it contained greatly surpassed those of the Qianyuan Kingdom.

Moreover, if the opportunity stimulated by him lay outside of Qianyuan Kingdom.

The journey was long and he didn’t have time to waste.

So he simply kept it and would activate it once he entered the Pearl Cave.

After bathing.

Jiang Yuan went to the front yard and gracefully jumped into the lake.

With a half month left, the time was tight. He had to start practicing the Small Five Elements Escape Technique, which was a life-saving technique, immediately.

And the Little Five Elements God Fist, a technique to kill enemies.

In the Pearl Cave, various forces were gathering. There were numerous opportunities and conflicts were inevitable.

Submerged in water, Jiang Yuan quietly felt the pulsations of the water veins.

He tried to blend in more naturally with the lake water.

Time gradually passed.

Three days later.

Jiang Yuan was practicing the Five Elements Escape Technique. He felt that he was not far from achieving complete success.

Just then…

Thump, thump, thump!

Knocking sounds came from outside the yard.

Sensing with his divine sense, Jiang Yuan was startled. His upper body appeared over the surface of the water while his lower body blended with the lake water.

He waved his hand and the main gate opened at once.

A figure of an old man with a weathered face and an aura of twilight about him appeared: it was Kong Nian, the Kong Nian who had left the Supreme Mystery Sect quite some time ago.

“Greetings, senior!” Jiang Yuan said respectfully.

Kong Nian gave Jiang Yuan a glance and slightly nodded, “The Technique of Water Escape, not bad! Not bad indeed!”

Suddenly, he gave a light cough.

“Senior, are you all right?” Jiang Yuan swiftly got out of the water and supported him.

Kong Nian shook his head, “No harm done, merely sustained minor injuries from a fight.”

He sighed softly, “Being old is really no good. I suffered small injuries from killing a few cultivators of the Divine Bridge Realm. If this were a few years ago, it wouldn’t have happened.”

After they sat down in the pavilion, Jiang Yuan asked, “May I know what brings senior here?”

Kong Nian replied, “Do you remember the Undying True Body technique that I passed on to you?”

“I do.”

“Here, take this!” After finishing his words, he took out a small jar and put it on the table.

“What is this?” Jiang Yuan was instantly intrigued.

“Wind and Thunder Sand!” Kong Nian said indifferently. Then, after sipping his tea, he continued, “This item is a special product of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. I had to go through a lot of trouble to obtain this.”

Jiang Yuan solemnly bowed to Kong Nian and said, “I’m grateful for senior’s generosity. I’ll never forget this favor.”

He smiled warmly, “There’s no need to be so formal. I have average flesh talent and I’m unable to realize my conjectures. However, your flesh talent is exceptionally high. I am curious to see how strong the Undying True Body technique would be in your possession.”

“Just wondering, what is your current cultivation realm?”

Kong Nian asked again.

Jiang Yuan responded, “Senior, you may see for yourself!”

As his words fell, he revealed his cultivation level momentarily.

“This… That can’t be true!” Kong Nian’s pupils contracted and disbelief spread across his face. He then rubbed his eyes before laughing and scolding, “You truly are a freak!”

Jiang Yuan also laughed. He then concealed his cultivation. Now that he had the Concealment Technique in his arsenal.

He was confident that most people would not be able to gauge his level of cultivation.

Moreover, he had the pseudo Heavenly Secret Realm that could hide his heavenly secrets.

Even cultivators who were proficient in the Way of Heavenly Secrets would find it hard to determine his realm and information.

He did not intend to broadcast his cultivation level. Catching enemies off guard was the key for survival.

Kong Nian said, “With your current strength, you should have no problem cultivating the first level of the Undying True Body technique. If you manage to find a Divine Sky Stone, you have a chance to reach the second level.”

Jiang Yuan smiled, “There’s no rush. We’ll get our chance eventually.”

Then he took the small jar of Wind and Thunder Sand from the table.

Kong Nian said, “Don’t delay. Start cultivating the first level of the Undying True Body technique now. You need to increase your strength as much as you can before the Pearl Cave opens. The treasures and opportunities in the cave are extremely important for your growth.”

“The geniuses of the forces surrounding the Qianyuan Kingdom will also participate in this event! Over the years, many people have managed to make huge leaps in their progress by grabbing opportunities in the cave. After all, it’s a cave world left behind by a Demon King. Even part of its leftovers can be considered great opportunities.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “Understood!”

He then sat down on a clean spot and opened the jar of Wind and Thunder Sand.

Immediately, he saw densely packed bolts of lightning flickering in the jar.

Kong Nian’s voice echoed beside Jiang Yuan’s ear, “Remember, Wind and Thunder Sand is a material for weapon forging!”

Jiang Yuan didn’t reply. Instead, he reached into the jar. The moment he did, the lightning inside the jar rushed towards his finger as if it had found a breach.

A feeling of numbness and mild pain penetrated his soul.

Luckily, it was completely bearable.

“It’s all good,” Jiang Yuan reassured himself.

Then he poured a marble-sized Wind and Thunder Sand onto his palm.

Dazzling lightning filled his palm.

Seeing Jiang Yuan seemingly unaffected, Kong Nian showed a surprised expression.

Such a strong physical body! The lightning couldn’t harm him at all.

He had indeed made the right choice in passing the Undying True Body technique to him. He was the one most likely to perfect this technique.
