"Eternal, the fourteenth-tier of Martial Dao … what is Eternal?"
On the eve of ascension.
Jiang He was sitting cross-legged beneath the Old Tea Tree of Enlightenment, asking his heart.
And yet …
"What is Eternal?"
"When I created the Martial Scripture before, I couldn't make it up until the thirteenth-tier, and this fourteenth-tier was just a name … whatever, I'll just ascend!"
"It's a martial arts realm that I created myself. Do you think I'll go berserk?"
With a single thought …
A crisp System Notification jingled in his head.
[Consume ten trillion Farm Points to improve your martial cultivation up to the fourteenth-tier?]
"Yes!"
[Ding!]
[-10 trillion Farm Points.]
As the System Notification jingled in his head, Jiang He sensed the changes in his body.
First was his Martial Yuan Spirit.
His Martial Yuan Shen suddenly flew out of his body and floated in the air. A golden aura appeared on the Martial Yuan Shen and filled the air. In a short moment, the Martial Yuan Shen was dyed gold.
Then, it was Jiang He's physical body.
His bones, tendons, and flesh were glowing with a golden hue as well.
Soon, the golden hue covered his entire body.
At the same time, Jiang He's aura expanded by a notch as the golden hue spread … before calming down.
Soon, the golden hue faded.
His Martial Yuan Spirit returned.
Jiang He opened his eyes, a blank look on his face.
What the heck?
It was over … just like that?
"No way … the fourteenth-tier corresponds to Demi-Saint. At the very least, there should be some phenomenon accompanying my ascension, shouldn't there not? Even if there isn't, shouldn't I clearly feel my combat ability improving? "
Jiang He felt out his own body.
Then, he turned on his System Panel to confirm —
[Cultivation: Immortal Path — full-fledged Grand Luo; Martial Dao — fourteenth-tier (Eternal) pinnacle]
"That's not wrong … but why do I feel like my ability didn't improve much?"
Jiang He scowled and was at a loss for words. "Could the Eternal tier I created be a fake tier? I even lost ten trillion Farm Points for it … and I was about to go to Star Traveler Card to seduce the Demi-Saints of the Gods and Demons … my ability didn't improve much at all, so what's the point of seducing them … hold on … "
He cursed in his heart.
Still, Jiang He suddenly remembered the golden radiance that engulfed his Martial Yuan Spirit and every inch of his body when he ascended. He promptly focused and searched for that golden radiance inside his body.
After reaching the fourteenth level of martial arts, the "Grotto-Heaven" of martial arts had already transformed into an inner world.
As Jiang He's spirit sank inside, he found that a massive world had unknowingly spawned inside his body. However, it was a chaotic world without any celestial system or celestial system as he imagined, not to mention that there was no light or the passing of time.
Not to mention the 'golden light'.
Jiang He collected his thoughts, a thoughtful look appearing on his face.
He summoned his Martial Path Primordial Spirit, but the golden light on it had already dissipated.
He angrily slammed his fist on the stone table in front of him.
Bang!
The stone table exploded.
"Wait …"
Still, Jiang He exclaimed in surprise, "What was that just now?"
He clenched his fist again and exerted strength, with faint golden radiance appearing over it.
Jiang He could feel that his fist had become even more powerful with the blessing of the golden radiance … rising to his feet, he charged his Yuan Qi at full power, and golden radiance flickered all over his body in an instant. Even his hair was dyed golden.
"…"
Why does this look a little like a Super Saiyan???
Of course.
It was merely a resemblance.
With Jiang He's current ability, killing a Super Saiyan with a single punch would not be a problem.
Feeling out his own strength, Jiang He could clearly feel that his strength had increased over a dozen times in the instant the golden radiance covered his entire body.
"Before this, my martial strength could match a full-fledged Grand Luo. My strength did not increase that much after ascending, and was at most equal to an average Demi-Saint … but with the blessing of the golden radiance, I could kill an average Demi-Saint with a single punch!"
Only then did Jiang He show a smile.
After studying it for a long time, he realized that the golden radiance had various other miraculous effects aside from increasing his strength exponentially.
For example, when the golden radiance buffed his body, his defense would reach a frightening level … and most acquired soul treasures would not be able to hurt him at all.
Even if he was hurt, he would recover rapidly under the effect of the golden radiance.
Jiang He tried to control the golden radiance, and it took him three days and three nights before he could control it as he wished.
He then raised his hand, and a strand of golden radiance flew out of his fingertip.
There was a special charm within it, as if it was eternally indestructible.
"Eternal?"
"Golden radiance?"
"I shall name this golden radiance Eternity Substance."
With that epiphany, Jiang He withdrew the strand of Eternity Substance into his body. In that split second, the chaotic world in his body had opened up a small world under the effect of the strand of golden radiance.
The world was extremely small and dark, but Jiang He was spacing out as he stared at the darkness.
"This feeling …"
"Stars?"
"No!"
"It's called stars only when there are stars!"
"This darkness is bleak and lonely, like a universe without stars."
Jiang He was surprised.
Could the fourteenth-tier of martial arts really open up a starry sky in one's body?
But how much golden radiance would it take to open up that boundless chaos?
Moreover, there were no stars after it was opened … could he have to transplant some stars inside?
With that thought in mind, Jiang He plucked the medicinal pellets that had ripened for three days in his farm, and barked at Dumbo who was lying down beside him, "What are you lying there for? Keep planting! "
There were not many medicinal pellets left.
Since he had been cultivating over the last few days, he had stopped planting medicinal pellets.
Now, Jiang He was ready to spend the night farming.
Just as he expected, farming through the night was very efficient, and he would plant one round in over three hours on average … each round would plant hundreds of thousands of medicinal pellets, and in just one and a half days, every medicinal pellet was planted.
"Dumbo, did you reap the immortal rice?"
"A hundred and fifty thousand catties?"
"That's more or less enough. You guys plant immortal dao at home while I meet the Jade Emperor. Tomorrow, I'll take you away from the celestial court and travel the stars."
Jiang He sought out the Jade Emperor and asked for a star map.
The star map clearly recorded the various planetary systems of the celestial battlefield, as well as many worlds beyond it.
The Jade Emperor quickly tried to dissuade Jiang He when he learned that he was about to leave the celestial court.
"You mustn't, Jiang He!"
"I've received word that the Gods and Demons have come to an agreement, and have mobilized a total of thirty-six Demi-Saints to kill you!"
"It's fine."
"What could thirty-six Demi-Saints do to me?"
Jiang He ignored the dissuasion and kept half of the medicinal pellets he planted, giving the rest to the Jade Emperor.
After planting, most medicinal pellets would turn into a hundred, which was why even half was fifty times more than before.
The next morning, the Jade Emperor's virtuous clone, Golden Armor, came to see him off.
He saw Jiang He out of the Southern Sky Gate and offered him a fist-palm salute, saying, "Take care, Brother Jiang He."
Jiang He returned the salute and turned into a flash, disappearing over the horizon with his cat and dog.
