521 Transcending Beyond the Chaos
This remark of Jiang Ming caught both Xi Yao and Linglong by surprise.
Xi Yao was a simple-minded person after all. She was fond of Jiang Ming. Even though she had been trying to cut off her feelings for him, she wasn’t able to completely do so. She simply couldn’t control herself from liking Jiang Ming.
Even though Xi Yao left Chuyang Peak, she was only wandering around Tianyuan Realm or Tianyuan Sea. Did this even count as leaving? Maybe it was the feeling of reluctance? Or maybe it was too hard for her to sever her feelings.
Even Jiang Ming himself found it difficult to say whether he had good feelings for Xi Yao. Looking back then, there might have been some ambiguity of feelings among the two.
It was just that Xi Yao back then was a Holy Daughter and found it difficult to put down her pride; over at Jiang Ming’s side, he had his junior sister clinging around his side every day. Although Linglong revealed that she didn’t mind about Xi Yao, how could Jiang Ming not?
But now? Jiang Ming was asking Xi Yao to make him her Master.
“Senior Brother, what are you playing at here?” even Linglong was confused.
If Jiang Ming was to keep Xi Yao by his side with such a status, wouldn’t it be wrong? Master and disciple? It seemed that her Senior Brother really knew how to enjoy life.
“This matter is of utmost importance!” Jiang Ming had a stern look on his face as he looked at Xi Yao and asked, “Are you willing?”
“Disciple pays respect to the Master!” When she saw Jiang Ming’s solemn look, she understood that making him her master was very important to this man that she had been longing for. It was just that she couldn’t help the tears rolling in her eyes.
As she clenched her teeth, she knelt down and bowed to pay Jiang Ming the respect. Maybe this was for the best. From now on, she could stay here with authority and fairness.
“Alright! You are now my tenth disciple!” Jiang Ming nodded his head and let out a slight sigh of relief. With a big wave of his arm, he lifted Xi Yao up and said with a pleasant smile, “Due to certain reasons, I must take in ten disciples and also nurture all of them into the Saint Realm. The fact that you are my disciple is but a name. You can still call me Brother Jiang.”
“Master!” Xi Yao pursed her lips. “I’m the disciple and you’re the master. Our status has been established and cannot be changed anymore.”
“Hehe! Brother Jiang. You’re finished!” Linglong’s eyes were flashing as she suppressed the other ideas popping into her mind. She smiled and continued saying, “Seems you’re going to fail from getting ahold of such beauty now.”
Xi Yao immediately blushed as she hurriedly lowered her head.
As for Jiang Ming? He was rendered speechless.
He grabbed with his hand mid-air and transferred the other disciples of him over to space in front of him. They were Fengyun Wuji, Dugu Potian, Shi Hao, Ye Fan, Qin Yu, Han Li, Zhang Yuanqing, Zhou Mingrui, Shu Yu and also Xi Yao. There were exactly ten of them.
“We pay our respect to the Master.” All of them bowed and saluted with great respect.
To them, Jiang Ming was an existence comparable to that of a Creator. This was because all of them knew that the original Tianyuan Realm was nothing more than a planar world in one corner of the universe. It was brought over to the Infinite Realm Battlefield by their master and later grew into the level of a Sacred Land in a very short period of time.
Now, they had even reached the Chaos Primordial Land.
Several of these disciples had experienced all these changes that felt as though it was all a dream.
Jiang Ming nodded his head, raised his hand and swept through the void. A slit in the void suddenly appeared right next to him, followed by a rapid change of evolution into an individual chiliocosm. Within the chiliocosm, time and luminance flowed throughout and the aura of creation were boundless.
He casually pointed his fingers and endowed boundless fortunes and heaven-defying opportunities into the world before finally saying, “In this small world, I’ve left the Heavenly Heart of Great Dao Fruit, the Golden Lotus of Enlightenment and the Dao Enlightening Platform. There are also the Long River of Innate Vital Essence as well as the Xuanhuang Origin Essence Long River within, both condensing the three thousand Laws of the Saint Dao, directly materializing itself.”
“I’ve also refined various Chaos leveled supreme treasures as well as treasures that would lead your soul towards transformation. For example, there are Ginseng Fruit Tree, Enlightenment Fruit Tree, Star Stream Fruit Tree, Yellow Plums and many others.”
“Within this chiliocosm also, I’ve reversed time by ten million folds.”
“Your next task is to enter the chiliocosm and fully strive to enlighten the Laws of Saint Dao.”
“I hope that you will all advance into the Saint Realm as soon as possible.”
“After reaching the Saint Realm, it will still not be too late for all of you to forge a supreme foundation.”
“Can you understand my intention?”
Jiang Ming stated his intent of opening up this world.
“Master’s intent is for us to strive with all we’ve got and sanctify the path of Dao in the shortest possible time.” Fengyun Wuji bowed and replied.
“Indeed!” Jiang Ming nodded. With a wave of his hand, he sent all of them into the world before saying, “Commit to your cultivation well. This will be the greatest fortune that you’ve all attained so far. If you grasp this opportunity well, you can completely forge yourself with the potential of advancing into Lord Saint Realm and there will even be hope of attaining the Chaos Realm in the future.”
Jiang Ming’s words resounded in the hearts of the many disciples. This remark of his was not fake at all.
Jiang Ming had beheaded two Dao Patriarchs, killed dozens of Great Dao Primal Heavenly Demonic Beasts and even obtained the power of creation that was even far beyond the imagination of a Dao Patriarch.
His means were even more unimaginable. Just take a few rare treasures for example. He could just casually coalesce them with a swift wave of his hand.
“Thank you, Master!” All ten of Jiang Ming’s disciples greeted respectfully within the new world. They were all filled with boundless excitement.
Back in the outside world, Linglong was smiling as she said, “Senior Brother, it seems you’ve put down quite a lot this time around! Just looking at them made the feeling of greed within me boil, wanting to take them all for myself.”
“A single instance of release of mine is already comparable to this boundless creation.” Jiang Ming smiled and continued, “When this great tribulation passes, I’ll give you a blessing of creation in the billions every day.”
“Hehe! You’re the one who said it, Senior Brother! I’ll be draining you dry.” Linglong licked her red and tender lips as her eyes gleamed with luminance. “A session a day and I’ll surely skyrocket into the Chaos Realm.”
Jiang Ming rolled his eyes in response.
As he turned his gaze over and looked at the small world that he had just created, it had already formed a small fist-sized ball suspended in front of him. Its outer layer was shrouded by the power of time.
Alas! A snap of a finger and boundless years would’ve passed by within.
It was a sped up time of one to a million. Based on the calculation of time in the ancient world, a day in the outside world would’ve been 20,000 years within.
With the blessing of creation that he had left behind, coupled with the boundless potential of his ten disciples, it would take less than an hour, or rather even half a tea time before all of them would end up successfully sanctifying the path of Dao.
“Girl, I’m afraid it’ll be quite some time upon this departure of mine. I’ll be leaving this place to you!” Jiang Ming turned around and hugged Linglong in his arms. “Don’t you worry!”
“Senior Brother, I’ll take care of the rest!” Linglong tightly hugged Jiang Ming.
This was the first time she had seen such solemnity from her senior brother.
“You mean the world to me and you are my everything.” Linglong said with a murmuring voice, “I’ll wait for your return. No! I’ll start preparing a meal right now. I’ll prepare all of the delicacies that I’ve seen or heard of for you to taste them!”
“Alright! Wait for me to come back for dinner!”
Jiang Ming left with a big smile on his face. He left an avatar of himself to stand guard in order to avoid any accidents.
Outside of the late Dao Patriarch’s Dao Domain, there were a few experts who had already sensed something was wrong. This was especially for several of the Dao Patriarch as they felt great fear when they gaze into the inside.
“Dao Patriarch of Soul!” Upon noticing Jiang Ming’s arrival, Dao Patriarch of Thunder immediately came over to him and clasped his hands to greet him. “This Dao Domain was suddenly enveloped by an inexplicable power. Even the several of us were unable to see through the situation inside. Were you able to?”
“There’s something in there that’s giving me a great sense of terror.” Dao Patriarch of Darkness also came over. “This is the Dao Domain of the late Dao Patriarch of Great Earth. Even if he was still alive, it would’ve been impossible for him to arrange this kind of barrier.”
“There are great terrors inside.” Jiang Ming nodded gravely. “I came here this time just to settle this matter.”
Jiang Ming briefly explained the story regarding the Heavenly Demonic Beasts.
“What? The invasion of the Great Dao Primal Heavenly Demonic Beast? They’ve already destroyed many Seas of Chaos? They’ve even opened up a Chaos Passage to descend into our Sea of Chaos and are currently expanding the passage?” Dao Patriarch of Thunder was extremely shocked by the news.
Dao Patriarch of Thunder felt that the news was even more incredible. How could a whole Sea of Chaos be destroyed just like that? As for this Heavenly Demonic Beast? He had never even heard of it.
“Does such a terrifying existence really exist?” Dao Patriarch of Darkness was also numb from horror. “How could there be no records of them? How could we have not heard of them?”
“The universe is vast and there are many Seas of Chaos as well.” Jiang Ming laughed abruptly. “You can all think of the Heavenly Demonic Beast as the calamity of the many Seas of Chaos. If we manage to transition through it, the Sea of Chaos will continue its long-life cycle, whereas the beings above the Saint Realms could continue wandering through the world. If we are unable to overcome this, then this is the end of the cycle of life.”
“Tribulation?” Dao Patriarch of Thunder let out a sigh. “Even the great chiliocosms experience the cycle of life. Seas of Chaos would naturally have it as well. It’s just that with the Sea of Chaos having such a long-life span, it even made it difficult for us Dao Patriarchs to realize this. Dao Patriarch of Soul, are you sure that there are higher realms above the Chaos?”
“There are existences that transcends above the Chaos among these Heavenly Demonic Beasts. I don’t know if such an existence would be able to descend into the Sea of Chaos. If they can, then this would be a truly Tribulation of despair.” Upon finishing the sentence, Jiang Ming paced forth into the sky and directly entered the Dao Domain. “Gentlemen, I’ll be leaving the outside to you all!”
Dao Patriarch of Thunder and the likes had an instant change in their expression.
