The north wind whistled, and the clouds scattered.
After ending his conversation with Chung Geng Sheng, Jiang Wang left the Great Illusionary Land and headed east without stopping.
Whether it was out of friendship or the fact that Zhu Biqiong had risked her life to deliver information to him, allowing him to kill Hai Zongming, he couldn't just sit by and watch Zhu Biqiong be sacrificed to the sea.
Because he understood Jiang Wang's personality, Chung Geng Sheng hesitated to tell Jiang Wang about this. He didn't just get the news today. When he found out that Jiang Wang had already returned to Linzi, he accidentally stopped Jiang Wang. That was how Jiang Wang saw through his lie.
He knew Jiang Wang's choice too well, but he also knew the difficulty of this matter.
The Fishing Sea Tower was the undisputed overlord of the entire offshore archipelago. Their voice in the offshore archipelago was even louder than the State of Qi. The terrifying master of Da Qi, the leader of the night watchmen, was ordered to retreat after taking a step out of the sea.
Fishing Sea Tower's power didn't stop there.
Zhu Biqiong had indeed broken the sect's rules and caused the death of a sect elder. No matter how innocent she was, she couldn't escape death if Fishing Sea Tower sentenced her to death!
What Chung Geng Sheng was thinking about for Jiang Wang, Jiang Wang would of course think about it too. But his choice wouldn't change.
He walked straight ahead, not changing his path because of difficulties.
On the fourth day of the fourth month, the Fishing Sea Tower held a sacrificial ceremony under the Tianya Stage. It was the beginning of the second month. There were still two months left for him to find a way to save Zhu Biqiong from a colossus like the Fishing Sea Tower.
It was difficult, but he had to do it.
Ten days.
Jiang Wang used only ten days to cross the Central Region from He State to Xingyue Plain. In the past, this was unimaginable speed.
But after mastering One Step to Clear Skies, it was relatively easy to complete.
It was evening in Xingyue Plain. The sky was low and the clouds thin.
He stopped here to recover and enter a state of cultivation.
Guan Yan had said that Xingyue Plain was one of the places in the Modern World closest to the Milky Way. This was also the only place Jiang Wang had found in the modern world that could store astral power for his totem.
The Bone Lotus Flower and the fire totem behind him had been cleverly connected by Qing Huo Qiming to form the Scorching Bone Lotus. But internally, there had always been a clear divide.
Jiang Wang stored the totem power he had obtained from practicing the Fire Origin Graphic Tome, while the bone lotus stored star power.
Of course, because it was hard to obtain astral power now, the bone lotus was often empty.
Thanks to the totem system of the void continent, Qing Huo Qiming had erased the possible influence of the "god", which was how the Fiery Bone Lotus had appeared.
Due to some inexplicable change, the Fiery Bone Lotus was able to absorb and store star energy.
Jiang Wang's lack of reverence for "gods" was largely due to his experience on the floating continent. Apart from Creator Sky, the void continent didn't believe that gods existed. The only ones who existed were origin thieves and faith thieves.
That sentence — God has "me", and if there is "me", there must be something private!
It was so loud that even the deaf could hear it.
Jiang Wang had stayed in Star Moon Plain to communicate with Master Guan Yan and accumulate astral power in preparation for his own attacks.
But for some reason, he suddenly thought of Qing Huo Qiming in this place closest to the stars.
The young shaman who had leapt into the Remote Heaven from the Wuzhi Catacombs.
Had he been dissolved by the Remote Heaven? Or had he obtained true freedom in the Remote Heaven?
Jiang Wang still remembered Qing Huo Qiming's last words before he leapt into the Remote Heaven. They were directed at him: "There seems to be a voice calling out to me. Come from the blue sky, I am no longer afraid. "
He might've never had any friends, which was why he had only confided in Jiang Wang, whom he hadn't known for long.
He was indeed no longer afraid of the Remote Heaven. He had devoted himself to it.
Qing Huo Zhushu, the shaman who had pushed the Remote Heaven to the final stage and was considered the strongest in history, had completely rejected the idea of the Remote Heaven before his death.
However, Qing Huo Qiming, who possessed the Remote Heaven totem, had still jumped into the Remote Heaven.
At the time, Jiang Wang had told Qing Huo Gao Chi that he hoped the changes caused by Qing Huo's leap into the Remote Heaven would lead to a good ending.
But after the game of life and death, he had left the void continent.
Had a good ending happened?
Perhaps it had. After all, the Qing Huo Tribe's victory in the game of life and death had allowed them to obtain the totem of royalty and rule the void continent for a hundred years.
Perhaps …
Jiang Wang watched the sky gradually darken. He suddenly felt that the night sky would look a lot like the Remote Heaven if the stars and moon were removed.
What exactly was the Remote Heaven?
Perhaps it was Zhu Biqiong's predicament that made the young man think of his friend on the void continent when he stopped.
When the sky had completely darkened, Jiang Wang collected his thoughts and began absorbing astral power.
The heavens, the earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars were always fair.
Starlight sprinkled down evenly on every inch of land and bathed everyone.
Relying on his understanding of astral power, Jiang Wang did his best to distinguish between the complicated stars and focused on absorbing astral power from Alioth.
He didn't know how to contact Guan Yan, but he hoped that he could use this method to attract Guan Yan's attention in the Forest Ocean Origin World.
Although it hadn't been long since he left Starmoon Plains, he had experienced far too much and accumulated many cultivation questions. In fact, he didn't have anyone to ask.
Experts who were on good terms with him, such as Chongxuan, Chu Liang, and Ye Lingxiao, weren't that close.
Ku Jue might not be stingy with his guidance, but he didn't want to be Ku Jue's disciple, yet he still wanted to be taught.
Guan Yan, on the other hand, was very close, even though they hadn't interacted much.
This wait lasted for three nights.
Guan Yan didn't make a sound, but the bone lotus had more or less finished accumulating astral power.
On the fourth night, Jiang Wang decided to leave at daybreak.
It was still the first half of the night, but the bone lotus was already full of astral power. He made a mental note of this time. Three and a half nights was enough to fill the bone lotus.
This meant that three and a half nights was enough to store a terrifying trump card.
Of course, it wouldn't be as powerful as the one in the Game of Life and Death.
Back in the void continent's Wuzhi Catacombs, he had obtained pure astral power from killing star beasts and filled the entire Fiery Bone Lotus. That was why he, who was in the Soaring Dragon Realm, could defeat Lei Zhanqian with a single strike.
Because totemic power was useful for cultivating the Fire Origin Diagram, Jiang Wang had only "vacated" half of the Fiery Bone Lotus. Naturally, the amount of astral power it had accumulated was only half of what it had been before. Moreover, this kind of astral power wasn't as pure as the astral power he obtained from killing star beasts, so it wasn't as powerful.
Even so, this bone lotus was filled with astral power. At the very least, it could increase the offensive power of an Inner Palace cultivator with a Divine Ability.
Or to put it in a more direct way — it should be on par with Lei Zhanqian, who had opened up two prefectures.
As for Jiang Wang himself, many people said that his victory over Lei Zhanqian in the Yue Prefecture was due to luck. Huaying Palace Master Jiang Wuyou also thought that his true strength was similar to Lei Zhanqian's. Lei Zhanqian's strength wasn't inferior, but his preparation was.
But now, Jiang Wang believed that his true strength was enough to crush Lei Zhanqian. No matter how Lei Zhanqian prepared, it was useless.
Of course, at this moment, Lei Zhanqian was no longer his target.
If he had to find an opponent of the same level in Linzi City, the one he wanted to test the most was the one who had easily withstood his True Samadhi Fire — the Eleventh Prince, Longevity Palace Master Jiang Wuqi, who was favored by Emperor Qi the most.
Of course, if Jung Genzun hadn't become an Outer Palace cultivator by the end of the year …
He also wanted to see what it meant to "steal the limelight of one's peers."
Three hundred miles of Linzi City, fish and dragons danced together.
The more Tianjiao one was, the more one envied the wind and clouds.
Thinking of those magnificent events, Jiang Wang suddenly didn't want to wait any longer.
He stayed in Xingyue Plain for three days, but there was still no news. Perhaps Guan Yan just didn't want to see him.
Then he wouldn't disturb him anymore.
Jiang Wang stood up.
But at this moment, he suddenly sensed that gentle voice —
"Young friend, are you waiting for me?"
