Jiang He and Wang Hou chatted for around an hour when Wang Hou's body suddenly stirred. He quickly said, "Let's talk next time, Jiang He. I'll keep an eye on outer space through the Star Map."
"Alright. Take care, Minister Wang."
Jiang He had a weird look on his face as he studied Wang Hou from head to toe before seeing him off.
Whoosh!
Wang Hou took to the skies and left.
Damn it!
It was only after Wang Hou left that Jiang He cursed and complained, "I keep getting the feeling that Wang Hou is trying to piss me off on purpose. He knows that I can't enjoy the pleasures of cultivation, which is why he's acting like this in front of me?"
From the looks of it, Wang Hou was about to gain another epiphany that could not be suppressed, which was why he was in a hurry to leave.
Returning home, Jiang He brewed himself a cup of Old Tea of Enlightenment and sipped on it, finally entering a state of epiphany after finishing it.
The Daoist Rhyme around his body surged and lightning flashed. Even the skies above had a strange phenomenon. Despite it being a sunny day, the lightning flashed for more than two hours. The citizens of Lingzhou City were amazed by the sight, although they did not feel shocked or anything of the sort.
After all, they had seen too many of those.
Every other day or two, Jiang He would create unusual phenomena or thunderclouds at home, and his eyes were getting tired just watching it.
Over two hours later, Jiang He slowly opened his eyes, a look of delight showing in his eyes. "My Thunder Dao enlightenment is almost complete, and my Thunder Dao Form and divine mind have also reached full mastery …"
In that very moment, Jiang He had an epiphany.
With his current state, he could ascend as an immortal at any time.
Taking out a Thunder Dao Fruit with a turn of his hand, Jiang He was about to consume it to condense his Heavenly Immortal Dao and complete the final metamorphosis when Hu Mei came to him the moment he took a bite, asking, "Master, are you done with your epiphany?"
"Is something the matter?"
Crunch.
Jiang He took another bite of the Thunder Dao Fruit, and the fruit that had materialized into energy erupted in his mouth before tunneling into his abdomen, spreading throughout his limbs and bones.
Now that his Thunder Dao Form was formed, not only did he not feel any discomfort from the energy, it was instead 'fresh' and 'fragrant'. Hu Mei then said, "Jin Sidao requests an audience."
"Oh? Jin Sidao is here? "
"He has been here for a while, but I had him wait outside since you were meditating."
"Alright, let him in."
Soon, Jin Sidao entered the mansion.
At the moment, Jiang He was sitting on the couch eating a Thunder Dao Fruit.
"Lord Jiang He!"
"Sit."
Gesturing for Jin Sidao to sit, Jiang He took another bite of the Thunder Dao Fruit and smiled. "I've just spoken to Minister Wang. The Taixu Sect and the Jiuhua Sect have begun to spread their teachings in the country too, so it wouldn't affect the Ten Thousand Swords Sect much, would it?"
"It doesn't matter."
Jin Sidao smiled. "That's actually a good thing. The Ten Thousand Swords Sect doesn't have much depth, just as the Hua Nation has too many people. Our sect alone could hardly provide much resources, and Minister Wang has already made an exception to allow us to recruit three hundred disciples. Those old fogies of the Taixu Sect and the Jiuhua Sect are so envious that their eyes are red."
The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries.
The Thunder Dao Fruit in Jiang He's hand was almost finished.
Seeing that Jin Sidao was rambling and stuttering without getting to the point, Jiang He promptly came to a realization and took out a demi-immortal flying sword, saying, "Brother Jin, you've helped me collect the compensation for mental damage from the eight factions … eh?"
Even so, Jiang He's body shuddered before he could finish. Dao presence unfurled around him as he growled, "We'll talk later. I'm about to ascend."
Whoosh!
In a flash, he shot up to the horizon.
Jin Sidao's eyes tightened. He could guess what Jiang He meant by 'ascending', but he was still a little doubtful and muttered, "Ascending? What ascending? Could Lord Jiang He have cultivated some ultimate move? "
Hu Mei shook her head, saying, "It's not a breakthrough in Dao or godly technique, but Master's ascension."
Ascension?
Didn't that mean …
Jiang He was about to become immortal?
Jin Sidao's entire body shuddered. Stepping out of his mansion, he stood outside and looked up at the skies to find that thunderbolts were erupting around Jiang He's body. Even Jiang He himself had turned into a thunderbolt, and all the Spirit Qi in the world was stirring and surging towards Jiang He.
At first, Jiang He had only affected the Spirit Qi within dozens of miles, but it gradually expanded to the point that all the Spirit Qi within a hundred miles, up to a thousand miles, and even thousands of miles, were rapidly surging towards Jiang He's location.
In that very moment, every living being within five thousand miles was startled.
Wang Hou, who had just returned to Jingdu City and had yet to gain enlightenment shuddered and was taken aback. His irrepressible enlightenment vanished without a trace, and he observed Earth through the Star Map to find that the Spirit Qi within five thousand miles around Lingzhou City had turned into a cyclone, with Jiang He's house at its center.
"What is that brat doing?"
Wang Hou scowled.
Such a huge stir?
Was he about to become immortal?
What the hell …
Just an hour ago, he had claimed that he was a newbie who had cultivated for less than four months, and now, he was about to become immortal in the blink of an eye … how were others supposed to live?
"Still, it's great that Jiang He is becoming immortal. When the immortals return, we would have a certain say … still, why is the brat causing such a huge stir when he becomes immortal? It's because the Spirit Qi in the world is so dense now. In the past, all of Earth's Spirit Qi would have been drained dry. "
Wang Hou turned and flew towards Lingzhou City again.
That was when immortal radiance shone from Jiang He's body.
The first Immortal Dao slowly materialized.
In that split second, his body that had already been materialized from thunderbolts actually showed signs of turning into Immortal Yuan Strength. His mystic energy and divine mind were rapidly metamorphosing.
Heavenly Immortals were immortal in the first place.
Even if their physical body was destroyed, they could be reborn from a single drop of blood …
Of course, the prerequisite was that their psyche was not destroyed.
For example, when a hundred Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenades were used on Mars, Mars was gone. The violent thunderbolts exploded, and the psyche and physical bodies of the Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals were gone, and naturally could not be reborn.
Right now, Jiang He was in a mystifying state.
There was no telling how much time had passed. It could have been an instant, or it could have been days …
Oom!
Jiang He's figure shuddered, and his body shone with immortal radiance as an immortal might unfurled.
In his body, the first Immortal Dao had been formed, and his divine mind had successfully converted into immortal will, just as his abundant mystic energy was converted into Immortal Yuan Strength. As Jiang He charged the eighth fold of Three Thousand Calamities, the converted Immortal Yuan Strength began to change into the Sword Immortal Immortal Strength that was unique to sword immortals.
His mind sank into his body, and he saw that within his Dantian, there was a thick Heavenly Immortal Law that flickered with lightning running through his entire Dantian. Moreover, there was another Heavenly Immortal Law condensed beside this Heavenly Immortal Law.
"I'll keep eating the Thunder Dao Fruits!"
"I'll try to reach Heavenly Immortal-intermediate, or even advanced!"
With a thought, Jiang He took out all the remaining Thunder Dao Fruits with a wave of his hand and began to eat them.
At the same time, superior-grade spirit stones appeared around him. There were over hundreds of thousands of them, and they crumbled at the same time, turning into pure Spirit Qi that surged into his body.
The elites of various sects nearby who were attracted by the commotion caused by Jiang He's ascension …
They were stunned!
At the same time.
Around fifteen hundred kilometers away from Lingzhou City, a grotto-heaven that spanned thousands of kilometers was faintly discernible in the air, and a frightening immortal will was reaching out from within …
