Chapter 56: Let the Hunt Begin; Teleportation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Since Jiuyang Sect was located quite a distance away from Qingyun Sect, they only heard some rumors and had yet to hear about the final result of the battle in Qingyun Sect. All they knew was that the battle leveled thousands of mountains, damaged Formations, and dried up the lakes. Although the destruction was not small, all in all, the Qingyun Sect did not suffer too many losses.
…
More than a month passed in just a blink of an eye.
In the evening, when the sky was dyed with the colors of burnt orange, crimson red, and dark blue.
Linglong lay on Jiang Ming’s lap as she rested her legs on a stool. She stared at the sky as she said, “How great would it be if there were no disputes in the world…”
Jiang Ming replied, “As long as greed remains so will disputes. If you want to live a carefree life, you can only cultivate diligently until you gain absolute power.”
“Senior Brother, you’re really wise.”
“Of course! I have a few more years of experience compared to you, after all!”
“Yeah, but my cultivation base is still higher than yours!”
Jiang Ming cleared his throat and said, “Can we stop poking at each other’s shortcomings? At the very least, I’m in the Foundation Establishment Realm now.”
“That’s not enough, Senior Brother. Why don’t I transfer some energy to you?” Zi Linglong asked.
“What’s the point? I’ll only increase my mana, but it won’t help me break through to another realm,” Jiang Ming said as he shook his head.
“I’ve read books about how we can raise our cultivation bases through sexual cultivation techniques! Shall we give them a try?”
“What kind of nonsense are you reading? Stop reading those kinds of books and focus on cultivating from now on!”
“Okay!”
“Hey…”
“Hmm?”
“You know about Sambodhas, right?”
“Yes! Senior Brother, do you want to comprehend them earlier?”
“That’s right. Apart from natural wind movement, I wonder if we can comprehend wind Sambodha through wind induced by burning wood?”
“I think so.”
“Why do you say so?”
“Wind Sambodha is one of the easiest to comprehend since you can comprehend them through natural wind movement or wind-related special abilities. However, to comprehend it through wind induced by the burning of wood, you’ll have to comprehend the fire Sambodha and the wood Sambodha first. The five natural elements are wood, fire, earth, water, metal, and water. It’s already difficult to comprehend one elemental Sambodha so it’s even more difficult to fuse two Sambodhas.”
“I see…”
“In fact, you can try to convert natural energy. For example, extreme Yin can be transformed into extreme Yang and vice versa. Although they’re conflicting, they’re also interchangeable. It’s often said that water represents Yin and fire represents Yang, but that’s not true. Fire has both Yin and Yang, and the same goes for water, wood, earth, and metal. The five elements form the base of all things, and Yin and Yang is the source of all things. Hence, there’s a saying that the five elements can form all things, and Yin and Yang can rule the world.”
“What about space and time?”
“Yin and Yang, the five elements, space, time, nature, death, reincarnation, karma, and so on are energies at the same level. However, most things in the world are the results of a fusion of energies. For example, a grain of rice contains the elements of water, earth, and wood. Then, there’s also lava that a fusion of fire, earth, and water.
“Are these energies difficult to comprehend?”
“Of course!”
As Jiang Ming listened to his junior sister, he discovered her explanations were easier to understand compared to Master Dao Yan’s A Detailed Explanation on Human Cultivation Realms.
The duo continued to talk until darkness fell, the moon rose in the sky, and the gentle night wind made its appearance.
Jiang Ming called up the Human Path Records and was surprised by what he saw. Hence, he said to Zi Linglong, “Alright, you better return to your room now. I’m going to cultivate.”
“Alright, Senior Brother! Don’t push yourself too hard! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask me!” Zi Linglong said before she left.
“Alright.”
After Zi Linglong vanished from sight, he turned his attention to the Human Path Records.
Name: Mu Shuiyun
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Cultivation base: Primal Spirit Realm
Background: An elder of Qingyun Sect.
Relationship: -90
Innate talent: 9 stars (Water Spirit Body)
Status: After being forced to leave Jiuyang Sect, she grew even more resentful. Her anger and hatred intensified so she was no longer content with burying the b*tch who rejected her son; she wanted to bury the entire Jiuyang Sect as well now. She’s lurking about 3,000 miles away but hasn’t found an opportunity to act. Due to her son’s death, she’s indifferent to the battle in Qingyun Sect. Moreover, when she heard about the death of the Holy Son of the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion, she laughed madly. It did not take long for her to learn about the chaos and the deaths of countless disciples due to the battle between two Extreme Path experts. Apart from insisting the Qingyun Sect hand over the murderer, the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion also demanded a formal apology and two top-grade Dao Vessels as compensation. Hearing these pieces of news gave her an idea to seek revenge from the Jiuyang Sect. She plans to use her identity as an elder of Qingyun Sect to order Bishui Sect to send a troop to attack Jiuyang Sect. She’s now arrived in Hai Province and making her way to Bishui Sect.
Jiang Ming carefully read through Mu Shuiyun’s information. Upon seeing their relationship value at -90, he knew Mu Shuiyun wanted everyone from Jiuyang Sect to die. After all, Mu Shuiyun did not know him at all. Then, he read her incredibly long status without missing a word.
Jiang Ming felt rather speechless after he finished reading Mu Shuiyun’s status. ‘Mu Shuiyun is really vicious and heartless! She doesn’t even care that her sect’s in trouble. She’s really crazy!’
His eyes shone with killing intent as he thought to himself, ‘Qingyun Sect must be enraged by the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion’s demands, especially the two top-grade Dao Vessels. Qingyun Sect is busy dealing with their problems now so this is the best time for me to begin my hunt. I won’t stand for her plotting to kill Junior Sister or anyone from Jiuyang Sect!’
Jiang Ming returned to his room and activated the Formation that isolated the building from the outside. Then, he extended a strand of his consciousness to check on his master and sister. When he saw his master was digesting the medicinal pill and his junior sister was cultivating, he felt it was safe enough to sneak out.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly froze in his steps before turning to look in the direction of Qingyun Sect. He frowned. He was suddenly seized by a sense of unease. His gut instincts had been very accurate so he did not think lightly of it.
‘Are there experts searching the Tomb of Extreme Path at the border of Hai Province and Qing Province?’
After a while, he finally left. With just a thought, he reappeared outside the sect. He used the Akasa network and traveled to a hillside 5,000 miles away.
To be safe, he found himself a safe spot. He leaped onto a tree branch before he sat cross-legged on it. At the same time, he suppressed his aura to avoid detection. Following that, he brought out a space crystal. He planned to comprehend the space Sambodha using it.
He brought the crystal to his forehead, channeling his mana into it. In just an instant, a mysterious energy shrouded his mind. He could see spatial networks, spatial ripples, spatial vibrations, spatial distortions, spatial nodes, and so on.
He continued to comprehend the space Sambodha as he tried to master its powers.
He only stopped cultivating when the energy in the space crystal was depleted, reducing the crystal to dust.
When he opened his eyes, it was as though he was looking at a whole new world. He could now clearly see the spatial network and waves. He could even sense the spatial nodes that were as countless as the stars.
Jiang Ming exclaimed in delight, “Amazing!”
He decided to cast the Great Akasa Steps since it was related to the void and space. He vanished in just a blink of an eye and reappeared thousands of miles away. This time, he did not travel through the Akasa network, otherwise also known as the void or spatial network. Instead, he had stepped on a spatial node and arrived at another spatial node. In other words, he had teleported!
Jiang Ming felt like laughing out loud. ‘With this, I have nothing to fear!’
After he calmed down, he recalled he had to kill Mu Shuiyun as fast as he could so he rushed toward Hai Province.
