After returning to Linzi, Jiang Wang didn't go anywhere apart from the small welcoming banquet attended by Li Longchuan, Yan Fu, and Gao Zhe.
Xu Xiangqian's trip to the islands off the coast was a lot quieter.
Jiang Wang's reputation in Linzi had skyrocketed after suppressing Lei Zhanqian and winning first place in the Seven Star Hidden Realm. However, there were "insiders" who repeatedly emphasized that Jiang Wang had only gotten lucky and had relied on external forces to catch Lei Zhanqian off guard.
Needless to say, these "insiders" were all related to the Lei Clan. Lei Zhanqian wasn't willing to let his reputation become a stepping stone, especially since he was confident that his strength was above Jiang Wang's.
However, Jiang Wang didn't care about this since he had already obtained the greatest benefits. His lifespan had been replenished, and he had even obtained the Seven Star Sacred Pavilion's secret arts.
So what if Lei Zhanqian was making up stories about him? If Lei Zhanqian could make it sound like he had won, then that was his own ability. As long as they didn't come looking for trouble, Jiang Wang couldn't even be bothered to argue.
No one had the chance to come looking for trouble because Jiang Wang didn't leave the house at all. He was fully focused on reaching the peak of the Soaring Dragon Realm.
His schedule was packed. His efforts in the Isolated Islands of Heaven and Earth and exploring the Mist of Obscurity were all foundational tasks. His main focus was the competition for first place in the Great Illusionary Realm and the cultivation of the fire totem.
The void continent's totemic power was somewhat similar to the Forest Ocean Origin Realm's cultivation system, but their nature was completely different.
The Sacred Race warriors of the Forest Ocean Origin Realm mainly focused on how to store more Dragon God power in their bodies and how to use this power. The fundamental increase in strength was still due to the Dragon God's blessing.
Totemic power was also feedback from the totem origin, but the origin of the void continent warriors was pure, unconscious, and a collection of laws. They used totemic power to cleanse themselves and bring themselves closer to the origin, which in turn allowed them to withstand even more totemic power. The foundation of one's strength lay in one's own body, and the totem origin was there for them to take.
Jiang Wang wouldn't choose to become a totem spirit like Qing Huo's blazing fire. He only wanted to use the power of the totem to cultivate and explore the corresponding source of the totem. Through the Fire Totem, he was able to better understand "fire".
After all, the fire and wood elements were his primary paths of cultivation. After consuming the Skycloud Goat and undergoing the quintessence baptism in the Forest Ocean Origin World, his innate talent in the wood element had already surpassed his innate talent in the fire element. It was only because he didn't have a suitable and powerful dao art that his innate talent in the wood element wasn't that conspicuous. Now, it was time to get it back by cultivating the Fire Totem.
Back in the Wuzhi Catacombs, he had already obtained the Fire Origin Graphic Tome from the Qing Huo Division. As the representative of the Qing Huo Tribe in the Life and Death Game, the Qing Huo Tribe would fulfill his every request. Moreover, Jiang Wang did not need to know the core secrets of the Qing Huo Division, such as the strongest Killing technique of the Qing Huo Division, or how to create the Spirit of Qing Huo. The Qing Huo Division didn't feel burdened at all.
After informing Yin Guan of Chung Geng Sheng's arrangement, Jiang Wang no longer had any contact with the people from the Gateless Hell. After burning Yin Guan's long hair, he indeed had no way of contacting Yin Guan.
Even Chung Geng Sheng didn't know where the people from the Gateless Hell went after entering the city. The fact that the Gateless Hell was able to develop so well despite being wanted by so many countries in the Eastern Divine Region meant that their ability to hide their tracks was top-notch.
Fortunately, Chung Geng Sheng didn't want to know where they went. He even intentionally downplayed this matter and didn't mention it at all.
Getting involved with the Gateless Hell at a time like this was undoubtedly a foolish thing to do.
The Gateless Hell had its own plans. He was just following along and placing a piece down. Now, all he had to do was wait.
As for the matter of Linzi, Chung Geng Sheng really wasn't boasting. Jiang Wang could cultivate at ease and didn't need his help for the time being. Chung Geng Sheng dealt with Wen Lianmu's offensive very well. Moreover, Su She's complete elimination this time made the situation much simpler.
The tables had turned. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wang Yiwu was probably going to lose in the competition for business, even with Wen Lianmu's help. At present, everyone was talking about how long Wang Yiwu could last until Jung Genzun came out of seclusion.
…
He was sitting cross-legged and accumulating his meager totemic power according to the method recorded in the Fire Origin Manual. This process was very slow due to the lack of a good cultivation system on the void continent. It was probably impossible for him to reach the same level as the experts on the void continent by relying on the Fire Origin Manual.
However, Jiang Wang wasn't counting on this to begin with.
As he saw it, the fire totemic power itself was an explanation of "fire" based on the void continent's "perspective".
When a flame burned in front of one's eyes, it was already a manifestation of the laws, a concrete representation.
One could see the fire, see its color, and feel its heat, but it was very difficult to discern its essence at a glance.
The various fire attribute dao arts he usually cultivated were all derived from "fire" and made the laws of "fire" even more concrete. Deducing the origin of fire from various fire attribute dao arts was a kind of research perspective.
Studying the fire totemic power now was a different kind of perspective.
Jumping out of the original framework and investigating the origin from a different perspective was very beneficial. This was especially true for Jiang Wang, who had accumulated a deep understanding of the fire attribute to begin with. Be it the various powerful fire attribute dao arts he was proficient in or the Eight Tones Flame Sparrow he had invented himself, they were all adding to his fire foundation.
It looked like a mountain range from one side and a mountain peak from the other. The distance and height were all different, but they were all mountains.
Since he could "see" the distance and height clearly, he naturally knew the details of the "mountains" by heart.
Under such circumstances, his control of fire improved rapidly.
While cultivating, Jiang Wang also diverted a portion of his attention to wait for the matching battle in the Great Illusionary Land.
In the previous battle, he defeated the second-ranked cultivator and became the second-ranked cultivator in the Great Illusionary Land. His remaining goal was to be the first.
Time flew by as he cultivated.
With a thought, Jiang Wang put down his observation of the fire source totem power and focused his attention on the Great Illusionary Land.
[Matching battle, begin!]
It was finally here!
Ever since he was able to battle, he had been fighting hard to be the first. From the Wandering Pulse Realm to the Heavenly Ascension Realm, he had not been able to achieve his goal.
Whether he could become the first in the Soaring Dragon Realm depended on this battle.
The Sword Discourse Arena met in the Milky Way and became one.
Having long been accustomed to the vast Milky Way, Jiang Wang immediately looked at his opponent.
Standing in front of him was a familiar face. It was the young man in a luxurious robe whom he had matched with before entering the Seven Stars Pavilion's arcane realm. At that time, Jiang Wang had seized the opportunity to turn the tables.
The young man in a luxurious robe's name in the Great Illusionary Land was Ling Yue. It did not seem like his real name.
Unlike his previous arrogance, he spoke first this time.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time," he said.
Jiang Wang was somewhat surprised. "Waiting for me?"
"I've perfected long ago and can enter the inner mansion at any time. I told myself that I would only wait for you for five days. You came on the fifth day. "
Back then, he could see the arrogance and stubbornness in the young man's eyes.
He was definitely a genius. Jiang Wang had experienced the trials of the Seven Stars Pavilion's arcane realm and fought a few battles before he finally reached the perfected stage. However, this young man was one step faster.
Indeed, Jiang Wang did not expect him to be so stubborn. Just because he lost by mistake, he deliberately stayed in this realm after perfecting and waited for him for five whole days.
This was especially so when both of them knew that Jiang Wang had won that battle by luck.
For such a genius, five days was definitely a huge waste.
Jiang Wang could not help but sigh. "There's no need to be so stubborn."
The young man named Ling Yue shook his head. "I shouldn't have lost."
Jiang Wang did not know why, but he wanted to persuade him. "Winning and losing are common in battles. I've lost before. "
The young man in a luxurious robe glanced at him. "You don't understand. I shouldn't have lost. "
At this point, he seemed to feel that he had said too much.
So he spread his hands.
"Let's fight!"
