The sun finally set in the west, and the entire world entered the night with a sigh.
The small Earth Dragon in the Tongtian Palace finally finished its long journey and spat out a round and full Dao Energy.
The sunrise and sunset were the best times of the day for cultivation. The sun was warm but not strong. It was warm but not harmful. Especially for beginner cultivators, it could protect their Dao meridians very well. There was no lack of examples in the past where the True Fire of the Sun ignited the fire in their hearts and destroyed their meridians.
This was the so-called purple aura in the morning and red clouds in the evening.
Even Jiang Wang, who had practiced martial arts since he was young, felt that his Qi and blood power had been squeezed to a critical point. If it went any lower, his vitality would be damaged. The Earth Dragon in the Tongtian Palace also looked a little dispirited.
Of course, at this critical point, his body would not feel weak. The Dao Energy that was nurtured in the Heavenly Palace was like a small heart, pumping power all the time.
All of this made Jiang Wang deeply understand the teachings he had received in class. From the Qi and blood power to the birth of Dao Energy, this was a kind of sublimation of power. It was the prerequisite for people to become extraordinary.
It was said that real martial arts cultivators did not cultivate Dao Energy. Instead, they purely refined their physique and blood. That was another way.
In the current world, there were feudal lords, sects, and hundreds of schools of thought. The Great Dao was endless. It could be said that it was a golden age for cultivation. Of course, for Jiang Wang, who was in the Zhuang Country, he had no other choice.
Jiang Wang carefully controlled his Dao Energy to move in the Tongtian Palace to fill in the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation that he had long memorized. This process was not easy. The reason was that a person's mental strength was similar to Qi and blood power. There was a limit to it at a certain stage.
For cultivators like Jiang Wang who had just stepped on the path of transcendence, moving his Dao Energy twice a day was the limit. Any more and it would cause his mental strength to be dispirited. In serious cases, it might even damage his mind.
Jiang Wang knew that the foundation-laying formation he had chosen would take a long time, so he did not dare to waste time. It was as if he was walking on thin ice. As long as there was a slight mistake, he would have to start over.
However, he did not give himself time to start over.
There were only two chances to set up the array formation every day, and he couldn't miss it even once! Even though the Heavenly Cycle Star Array Diagram was much more complicated and difficult than the Origin-Returning Array Diagram.
If someone were to cultivate at the same time as Jiang Wang, and he chose to lay the foundation of the Guiyuan Array Diagram, he would definitely be much faster than Jiang Wang on the basis of a perfect array of array points.
Jiang Wang didn't know if he had made the right choice, but since he had made the choice, there was no turning back. He could only move forward and do his best.
Fortunately, he did a good job. When the last round of meridian breaking cultivation ended, there were already dozens of Dao Energy balls floating in the Heavenly Connecting Palace. They were full, like ripe rice in the autumn paddy field, and they emitted the smell of a bumper harvest. All of these would be his resources to reach the heavens.
However, for Jiang Wang, he still had one more important matter to attend to.
At this time, the dormitory was empty. Ling He and Du Yehu were both out on missions. Having already entered the inner sect, they naturally desired the Meridian Unlocking Pill even more.
Jiang Wang's heart sank as he entered the Great Illusionary Realm.
Today was the 15th of July, the challenge day of the month. If nothing went wrong, he would be challenged by the owner of the Green Jade Altar today. He would smoothly be demoted.
It was still a familiar scene, the great starry sky.
Jiang Wang sat cross-legged and silently looked at the shadow of the sundial, waiting for the moment of the challenge.
He wanted to see the strength of a true powerhouse in this world. Even though he had "heard" of such an intense battle in the Anatta Temple, he had never seen it with his own eyes. When Dong A attacked that time, the opponent had no power to resist.
Sitting cross-legged in this starry sky, he felt that his heart had also become empty.
When humans looked up at the starry sky for the first time, history began to charge forward. Compared to the vast galaxy, everything in the human world was insignificant and illusory.
After an unknown period of time, five words appeared on the shadow of the sundial — the challenger forfeited.
Jiang Wang felt relieved, but he also felt an inexplicable sense of regret.
He had preserved the merit of the True Cave Ruins' blessed land this month, but that might only be because of the powerful deterrence of the previous owner of the blessed land. That fiery figure named Zuo Guanglie!
Those who entered the Great Illusionary Realm would usually conceal their identity in the real world. Apart from themselves, nobody knew what kind of reputation they had in the Great Illusionary Realm. Therefore, very few people knew that the owner of the True Cave Ruins in the Great Illusionary Realm was Zuo Guanglie of the Tianjiao of the Chu Dynasty in the real world. Now, no one would know about it. Even if someone had made an accurate guess based on his battle style, it would all be overturned now.
This was because normally, when a person in the real world died, their identity in the Great Illusionary Realm would also disappear. However, Zuo Guanglie had forcefully activated the power of Zhurong's true body, almost burning through space and time. Due to the entanglement of a powerful obsession, all sorts of reasons were mixed together, resulting in an accident. As a result, the Great Illusionary Realm could not retrieve the virtual key in time and was branded by Jiang Wang. He also inherited everything that Zuo Guanglie had in the Great Illusionary Realm.
Blessed Land 23, True Cave Ruins! This month's merit was 1850 points.
…
"Dao Development Stage," Jiang Wang said in his heart.
A bamboo table appeared in front of him out of thin air, but it did not seem out of place. It was as natural as crops growing from the ground, even if the process was ignored.
There was nothing else on the bamboo table except for an open jade book, which was currently blank.
Jiang Wang had experienced this before. He only needed to visualize the technique he wanted to deduce and put in the corresponding merit, and the final technique would appear on the jade book. The previous foundation-laying formation, the Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation, was obtained by deducing the Origin Restoration Formation.
Now, the foundation-laying formation had yet to be completed, and the Dao vortex had yet to be formed. Naturally, it was unrealistic to deduce Dao techniques. Even Jiang Wang himself could only simulate Dao techniques in his heart. He had never really practiced Dao techniques. After all, in the early stages of cultivation, Dao Energy was too precious.
However, it could not be said that he could leave the merit points for the future. One must know that in the path of cultivation, one would fall behind if one did not advance. Tomorrow or an accident, one did not know which would come first. Therefore, it was right to strengthen oneself as much as possible at every stage.
Jiang Wang thought about it and chose a fierce sword technique among the few sword techniques he was most proficient in to deduce.
The merit points he chose to consume were 1850 points!
The atmosphere of the entire Zhuang Country emphasized Dao techniques and lightness martial arts. However, Jiang Wang did not have a choice at this stage. Without establishing a foundation, he did not dare to use any stronger Dao techniques.
Since he had chosen to strengthen his sword technique, he would do his best and spare no effort.
Many words appeared on the jade book on the bamboo table. It was an ordinary sword technique that Jiang Wang had learned from the outer sect of Maplewood City's Dao Academy. Other than being fierce, there was nothing special about it. However, at this moment, the number of merit points on the Solar Diviner's phantom image was constantly decreasing. The words on the jade book on the bamboo table also began to change rapidly.
Jiang Wang looked at it with rapt attention. The words seemed to transform into human figures that were dancing with their swords. The more they danced, the faster they became. In the end, they seemed to be mixed together.
Jiang Wang could not help but squint his eyes. He actually had the illusion that he was being stabbed by a sharp blade!
When he blinked and looked again, the words on the jade book had already quieted down. What appeared in front of him was a mysterious sword technique that he had never seen or even imagined before!
When he was in the outer sect, Jiang Wang was recognized as the best swordsman. However, at this moment, as he flipped through this sword technique, he suddenly felt that what he had practiced in the past was only suitable for farming!
The number of merit points on the Solar Diviner's phantom image had already decreased to zero. However, Jiang Wang let out a sigh of satisfaction.
Everything was worth it!
