"Yeah."
Jiang He admitted openly, saying, "After Yu Yuan left yesterday, I was tossing and turning in bed and couldn't sleep for the whole night. I was afraid that he would be humiliated and come after us for refusing his invitation, which is why I'm going to have a good talk with him."
"…"
Wang Hou was not too surprised.
Jiang He would really do something like that.
Even so …
What does that have to do with your ascension to Grand Luo?
Moreover, the Dao ripples around Jiang He's body were extremely powerful, and he clearly had frightening control over Dao. He was probably not a novice Grand Luo, and as for how powerful he was …
Wang Hou could not tell.
"How is it unrelated?"
Jiang He was rather surprised and exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you usually quite smart, Minister Wang? Why are you so muddle-headed now? "
"Yu Yuan is a veteran Grand Luo and the disciple of the Golden Spirit Saintess, one of the Jie Sect's Four Great Disciples. Leaving aside his techniques and combat ability, he would definitely have great treasures on him. As a newbie who had cultivated for less than a year, would I even have the right to talk to him if I don't improve my cultivation up to full-fledged Grand Luo?"
Wang Hou was speechless, and actually felt that Jiang He's words …
Made some sense.
But the problem was that Yu Yuan was a Grand Luo … was he supposed to ascend just because he wanted to?
Wang Hou's face darkened as the thought crossed his mind, and he was at a loss for words. "Jiang He, I know you've only cultivated for a short time, but you're already a Grand Luo and a legendary superior being. Could you stop calling yourself a newbie?"
It was quite awkward to hear.
Both of them joked around for a while and laughed.
Jiang He then said, "Incidentally, I have something to discuss with those immortals as well … how about we head to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect together tomorrow?"
After having lunch at Jiang He's house, Wang Hou did not return to Jingdu City. Instead, he went to the Immortal Martial Arts Academy for an inspection, before heading to Lingzhou City.
Lingzhou City was developing rapidly at the moment, with elites watching over the city and the military stationed outside. Martial arts flourishing in the Martial Arts Academy, with thousands of students enrolled. After the Second Revival of Qi, there were over twenty martial arts grandmasters born in Lingzhou City.
Meanwhile, Duan Tianhe, chief of Lingzhou City's Martial Arts Department (MAD), had weathered the Four Lesser Heavenly Retributions of the Nine Nine a few days ago and reached divine-tier in martial arts.
This was because Spirit State City's' foundation 'was too weak before. Now that the martial arts had begun to develop vigorously, it was believed that in a few years, it would usher in a blowout period, and a new batch of masters would be born.
Around Spirit State City, some of the abandoned towns and villages began to regain their vitality.
The villagers who had moved away to avoid the ferocious beasts began to gradually return.
After all, high-ranked Ferals were rare around Lingzhou City. As for low-ranked Ferals …
Nowadays, there were martial artists or superhumans in every village and town. If a normal low-tier Feral beast dared to attack a village, it would probably become a delicacy on the villagers' dining tables.
Not only Lingzhou City, but all over the country was developing like a raging fire.
In some base cities, the environment was too dangerous for the villagers to return to their villages. But considering the future … those base cities had begun to build "satellite cities" around the base cities. They had also built farms, ranches, and factories around the satellite cities.
The base city was surrounded by several satellite cities. The distance between the satellite cities was less than 30 kilometers.
It was a short distance for elites, and they could instantly rush to help if something unexpected happened.
Of course.
Those things did not have much to do with Jiang He.
Jinyintan Village …
Now, it was his alone.
The villagers who had moved away wanted to return, since there were many farms to the east of the village …
And yet, aside from Jiang He's house, everything else in Jinyintan Village was in ruins. The fertile farmlands to the east of the village were filled with craters from explosions, as well as lingering martial arts and godly will, and could not be farmed at all.
… …
"Oh … I would probably finish planting the immortal crystals I have by tomorrow …"
Nightfall.
Inside his farm.
Jiang He was harvesting immortal crystals when he thought, 'I should talk to the immortals tomorrow and buy a wave of immortal crystals. It wouldn't be too late to level up my farm after I earn more Farm Points …'
'Moreover, I've promised Wang Hou to simplify and refine martial arts …'
'I have to start creating martial arts manuals. After all, there's only one chance to plant cultivation manuals left, and I can't waste it. I have to get it done before my farm levels up.'
Jiang He felt a headache at the thought of creating martial arts manuals. Even if he believed that he was talented in creating cultivation manuals, he had no idea where to start when it came to actually implementing it.
"Creating cultivation manuals is so difficult!"
He breathed a long sigh.
Jiang He was reclining on a rattan chair beneath the Old Tea Tree of Enlightenment, drinking tea brewed with Origin Fluid and enjoying the mutated grapes that Boa peeled with her slender, lily-white hands. In such a relaxed state of mind, he whipped out a tablet, opened a webpage, and began to search.
Thoughts were flashing.
"Since I'm creating martial arts manuals, I have to study wuxia novels … Eh, this wuxia novel … Everyone Can Defeat a Nation?"
"That's a weird name. Let's take a look at the summary … Hmmm, low-martial arts?"
Jiang He shook his head. The summary had already stated that it was a low-martial arts manual, and since that was the case, there was no need to study it. Still, out of curiosity about the title, Jiang He could not help glancing at it.
And that glance …
He could not help being speechless.
Low-Martial arts? What the heck!
In the end, even an eternal deity would be blown up, and he could suppress mountains and rivers with his fists, blowing up stars. How was that low-martial arts?
"Martial God …"
"Suppressing Mountains and Rivers with Fists …"
"The Nine Cauldrons?"
"The Divine Condor Affair … why is the name of this book so weird?"
Jiang He searched through a bunch of wuxia novels for inspiration.
"The ceiling of these wuxia novels is still too low."
"Blowing up stars is already the limit, and yet any Grand Luo could play with stars like they are glass orbs … Maybe I could study fantasy and combine the two to create a profound martial art."
Xuanhuan, then there were a lot more choices.
Others notwithstanding, Jiang He had read many books, and some of the cultivation manuals were referenced by countless people, such as the Fist of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Technique of the Hell-Crushing Divine Elephant …
"The Fist of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is a fist technique, but the Technique of the Hell-Crushing Divine Elephant is a little exaggerated."
"Maybe I could come up with a cultivation system, and then expand the cultivation manuals according to it …"
At the mention of cultivation systems, Jiang He could not help remembering a famous sci-fi novel. In it, martial artists would cultivate their physique and genetic energy when they were weak, and when they became powerful, they would directly name their martial arts tiers after planetary systems, planetary systems, realms, and the Lord of the Universe.
"That might be a good thing."
It was night before he knew it.
Jiang He had a general idea of the cultivation manual now.
After dinner and harvesting another batch of immortal crystals from his farm, Jiang He went to the swimming pool to take a bath, and then went to bed with his maids.
He slept until noon the next day, and washed up before heading to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect with Wang Hou.
Right now, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was decorated with lanterns and a joyous atmosphere.
Everyone in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was paying a lot of attention to the Ascension Feast.
While it was not much that the sect had an additional Heavenly Immortal since they were merely the lowest tier in the celestial battlefield, it was a different story for Jin Sidao, who was the second immortal to ascend after the Revival of Qi.
To be precise …
Jin Sidao was the first to ascend after the Revival of Qi.
Jiang He's situation did not count.
In fact, he might very well be the last immortal on Earth to ascend. With the prosperity of Martial Dao on Earth, Mahayana-pinnacle cultivators would have a hard time drawing immortal retributions to ascend to immortality if they remained on Earth even if their cultivation reached that level.
Such people were blessed with Fortune Qi, and their future achievements would definitely not be low.
Though the concept of Fortune Qi was a mystery within a mystery, it was real in the first place, and Wang Hou was one such example.
"Minister Wang, Mister Jiang!"
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist turned into a sword flash and flew out of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, landing in front of Jiang He and Wang Hou to personally greet them. "Congratulations, Mister Jiang," he said with a smile.
Jiang He knew what he was talking about, and smiled. "A mere Grand Luo is not worth mentioning."
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist smiled bitterly and said, "There's no telling how many Golden Immortals would die from anger if word of that got out, Mister Jiang."
"I'm just telling the truth!"
Jiang He was taken aback.
Speechless, the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist did not want to dwell on the issue and said, "Gentlemen, please … the various Golden Immortals have arrived, and the Ascension Feast will officially begin once Mister Jiang and Minister Wang arrive."
The trio entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect together, and found many Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals walking around in a massive square, while many Golden Immortals were seated at the banquet tables.
The Golden Immortals promptly rose to their feet when they saw Jiang He and all spoke.
On the other hand, Jiang He waved them off, gesturing that there was no need for formalities, and followed the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist to the main seat with Wang Hou.
