Looking at Jiang Yi walking out of the Jiang Manor resolutely, Mo Shangxing, Xiao Leng, Commander Liu, and the others all shook their heads slightly, feeling that it wasn’t the best decision Jiang Yi had made. Jiang Yi was really a rash teenager that was impatient and wanted results fast. They all knew that cultivation wasn’t something that could be rushed. Entering a mystic realm was a very rare opportunity; Jiang Yi entering that place now was a waste.
“Greetings to the Great Minister of Public Works!”
A group of guards outside the Demon-Killing Pavilion greeted hurriedly as they saw Jiang Yi, their eyes full of envy and vigor.
Half a month ago, they had been standing guard here as Jiang Yi followed He Wei stupidly inside. At that time, they had looked down on Jiang Yi. Fifteen days later, Jiang Yi had actually managed to rise to a position that they could never even dream of reaching.
Lu Hong received word of Jiang Yi’s arrival and hurriedly came out. Although he was still an Assistant Pavilion Lord, he knew that Commander Liu was Jiang Yi’s confidante; and so he did not have much authority and power now. However, Lu Hong also knew that every lord would have his own trusted confidantes and subordinates. Lu Hong could only try his best to perform well and hopefully gain Jiang Yi’s recognition.
“I wish to enter the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm. Please lead the way!”
Jiang Yi nodded indifferently and said. Lu Hong was about to say something as he paused for a moment but decided not to try and dissuade Jiang Yi. He carefully led the way and only when they had reached the entrance to the door leading to the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm then Lu Hong said respectfully, “Great Minister of Public Works, try your best to relax when you are inside. You have to remain calm. I heard that would make it easier to realize some things.”
“En, I understand!”
Jiang Yi nodded. He then realized that they were in the same teleportation formation as before as he asked curiously, “Isn’t this the teleportation formation to the Primitive Mystic Realm?”
“The mystic realms all use the same teleportation formation,” Lu Hong explained. He looked at the men guarding the teleportation formation as he said, “Hurry up and pay your respects to the Great Minister of Public Works.”
“No need for formalities!”
Jiang Yi gestured as he took a deep breath, calmed his soul and nerves, and said, “Teleport me in!”
The teleportation formation lit up as Jiang Yi disappeared within it. This time, the teleporting took even longer. He teleported for a full half-hour before he finally felt his legs touching the ground and the white light around him disappearing. He grew slightly dizzy as he did nothing else but sat down to rest.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Jiang Yi felt many people looking at him, and he also heard a few sniggers and mocking laughter. He knew that all those who entered the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm must be formidable martial artists. For a Demon-Killing Battle General like him to enter was really something out of the blue.
As expected!
Once the dizziness had subsided, Jiang Yi opened his eyes and saw that all the martial artists near him had terrifying auras. They were actually all Demon-Killing Battle Gods; there wasn’t a single Demon-Killing Battle King, much less Demon-Killing Battle Generals like him. He also saw that many of them had insignias with words on their battle armors. These people were Titled Battle Gods.
When he finally opened his eyes, there was no longer anyone paying attention to him. Time here was very precious: everyone that entered could only stay here for at most three days. These powerful people were not going to waste their time on him.
Jiang Yi looked about as he sized up the environment. He realized that this mystic realm was actually not that unique. There was a valley here, and in the distance, there was a small river that flowed from the mountains. The water finally entered a small lake. There were cliffs and precipices all around, and there were tens of ancient, tall trees with yellow leaves near the gorge. Neither the sun nor the blood moon was visible in the sky; only streaks of dark-yellow light could be seen through the cloud layer. It made the light penetrating the valley here quite distinct.
The most unique feature of this mystic realm was its aura. It seemed even older and more destitute than the Primitive Mystic Realm. The huge trees were also a hundred thousand feet tall though their trunks weren’t thick. Although the leaves had all withered, they had not fallen off. The heaven and earth spirit energy here was frighteningly concentrated; conservatively speaking, it was at least ten-fold that of the Primitive Mystic Realm.
That person is the guardian of the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm, right?
Jiang Yi looked at an elder sitting cross-legged near the small lake. This elder’s body was covered in dust; who knew how long he had been sitting here cross-legged? His body did not emit any aura; it also seemed as if he had already passed away. However, anyone that saw his eyes would suddenly feel their hearts beating very fast.
This person should be a King-Ranked formidable martial artist!
Jiang Yi could sense a charm similar to the Earth Emanations Sovereign from this guardian. This special charm was inexplicable; it just made one feel very special, and that this person was very powerful. It was just like the heaven and earth quintessence in the Primitive Mystic Realm. It was unexplainable, but it made those who had this charm feel extraordinary.
This valley was not very big. There were two to three hundred people here. Similarly to the Primitive Mystic Realm, people were sitting cross-legged, some standing still as statues, while some were hanging upside down from the cliffs. There were even some deep in sleep near the huge trees.
This lady is so beautiful…
Jiang Yi’s glance was quickly captivated by a young lady. While she didn’t seem that young, she wasn’t considered old either. She wore a white dress and stood on a limb of an old tree. Her facial features were very pretty, and there was a faint white glow on her face, making her feel somewhat divine. Her eyes were closed, and one of her hands was gently holding on to a yellow leaf, her face full of serenity. Only the corner of her mouth revealed a sliver of a smile. Everyone who looked at her felt a ripple through their minds.
Qingchen?
Jiang Yi noticed that this lady’s dress had a Demon-Killing Pavilion insignia. Above the blood wolf head, there were two words. Jiang Yi was slightly stunned. This lady was actually a Titled Battle God. Who knew which domain she came from?
I can’t keep looking around like this; time is so precious.
Jiang Yi suppressed his urge to stare longer as he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, entering the State of the Union of Heaven and Man to be one with the heaven and earth here. He immediately started to cultivate his heavenly powers and focus on realizing the Mighty God Technique. He wanted to realize the peak-stage of the first stage of the Mighty God Technique first.
The Dao Heaven Mystic Realm is indeed magical…
Once he entered seclusion, Jiang Yi immediately felt the difference. His brain seemed to work a thousand times faster here, and his realization speed was very fast. Furthermore, the parts of the technique that he had been stuck with previously inexplicably made sense here. He was making leaps and bounds of progress.
After six hours…!
In merely six hours, Jiang Yi’s Mighty God Technique had already reached the peak-stage of the first stage when he was forced to stop. It was impossible for him to cultivate the second stage at his current level. According to the Mighty God Technique, it stated that he must reach the Demon-Killing Battle God Realm before he could continue cultivating.
The Mighty God Technique first stage could allow his body to be strengthened a hundred-fold, the second stage a thousand-fold, and the third stage ten-thousand-fold! This mystical ability grew more and more overbearing as one progressed further. Jiang Yi also knew that the difficulty in cultivating would increase as well. If it was easy to cultivate until the third stage, the Mighty God Race would not have been annihilated.
Divine Voice Heaven Skill!
The Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast’s ghost-like call had opened a door for Jiang Yi in cultivating the Divine Voice Heaven Skill. Although he had not realized it fully—since the realization speed here was so fast, Jiang Yi was naturally not going to waste the opportunity.
However—
Perhaps what Jiang Yi’s had heard was a unique mystical ability of Primordial-Grade Chaos Beasts or for whatever other reason. Jiang Yi tried to realize for a full day but was still stuck at the original spot. There was no progress to his Divine Sound Heaven Skill at all.
Time here was so precious, and Jiang Yi had not come here to cultivate heavenly powers. He tried to realize for another two hours before he decided to give up. He had come here to realize something unique to this Dao Heaven Mystic Realm. He cleared all wild thoughts in his mind as he attempted to realize some essence of the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm. Mo Shangxing had said that as long as he had a sliver of realization here, it would be immensely beneficial to him.
Relax, forget everything, and clear the mind and soul!
Jiang Yi remembered everything that Mo Shangxing had said and thought about the few times he had been in mystic realms previously. Jiang Yi decided to lie flat on the ground. He controlled the Nameless Divine Art to circulate within him in the State of the Union of Heaven and Man as he emptied his mind and did not think about anything at all, trying to see if he could receive something.
Just like this, after five minutes, Jiang Yi peacefully… fell asleep!
