Chapter 407 - 235: Five Elements World
Their practice didn’t follow the traditional dual cultivation method; instead, they combined their souls and roamed the corresponding rule ocean, making the comprehension process relatively simpler.
Ran Xin’s Spirit Path, which emphasizes comprehension, is particularly helpful.
Luo Qingchen’s Path of the Soul could also follow this method.
Not to mention martial arts.
Luo Qingchen was a bit conflicted.
Ran Xin laughed immediately and agreed on the spot. Jiang Ming then took her directly into his heart realm.
Besides the real-world buildings within, the realm was vast, boundless, and eerily silent. They could see the layers of spiritual barriers set up by Principal Dongfang.
After arriving here, Ran Xin didn’t hesitate to jump into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck, and coquettishly asked, “Are you planning to take Qingchen?”
“Don’t be absurd. I just want to enhance your strength, so you will have a better chance of survival in the upcoming wars,” Jiang Ming corrected seriously.
“Enough already.” Ran Xin scoffed, “You men, the more serious you look, the more twisted you are inside. I heard that when men from Blue Star entered the secret realms, they couldn’t help but create harems, and some even enjoyed collecting beautiful women. Brother Jiang, how many times have you done this?”
“If I had a harem, would I have my current cultivation level?” Jiang Ming’s expression grew more solemn. “I’m a decent, honest person. Stop making things up.”
“I’m not saying you have to be one and only,” Ran Xin said with eyes filled with emotion, starting to snuggle with him. “Let’s have a battle of the spirits. If I’m happy, I’ll persuade Qingchen to join us and let you enjoy the beauty of two women at your side.”
“That’s… absolutely impossible!” Jiang Ming’s tone changed rapidly.
Ran Xin looked at him intently.
Jiang Ming smirked, and his heart power spread out, constructing a palace for them to begin enjoying the wonderful journey of heart convergence.
With heart convergence, they comprehended the Spirit Path.
This cultivation method was both delightful and unparalleled in effectiveness.
However, when they merged their hearts into the heart realm, they encountered resistance that tried to separate their minds. It made Jiang Ming realize the difficulties of this seemingly shortcut.
Firstly, combining minds was something even Dao companions might not be able to achieve, as it would mean entrusting one’s life to the other party.
As time went on, the resistance they faced increased, and they might even be subjected to backlash.
Ran Xin agreed without hesitation, both because she knew Jiang Ming well and because she understood how terrifying he was and that he wouldn’t harm her.
Living up to her reputation as a peerless genius, her talent was astonishing. In a short period, she comprehended the tenth realm of the Spirit Path and ignited her Heart Light.
“Is this the Heart Lamp Realm?” Ran Xin was astounded. “Once the heart lamp is ignited, the spirit won’t fall. Even if the soul is destroyed, one can still survive. One can even integrate the heart lamp into the heart realm and turn it into a sentient being within.”
After realizing the various mysteries upon breaking through, she immersed herself in them. However, Jiang Ming interrupted her digestion process, “Next, I’ll help you advance your martial arts to the tenth realm.”
“Great!” Ran Xin was even more delighted.
Her path revolved around the Way of the World, specializing in defense.
This time, they returned to the villa.
Ignoring the nearby Luo Qingchen who watched them hug together, they combined their spirits, entered the void, and roamed within the world rules.
“They’re already together?” Luo Qingchen was astonished and frowned, her mouth twitching.
Her heart felt even more conflicted.
Looking at Jiang Ming, who had his eyes closed, she absentmindedly stared at him. She suddenly clenched her legs, her cheeks blushing.
Not long after, she felt Ran Xin’s aura grow exponentially, and various changes began to appear around her.
It was like a martial arts domain or pocket world projection, yet Luo Qingchen knew that it was the evolution of World Concepts and gradually forming Lock Chains.
Rule chains.
“Rules are the hardest to comprehend, let alone World Rules.” Luo Qingchen couldn’t help but marvel. “In the academy, I know a genius who shocked many people when he initially comprehended the World Concepts. He has always been walking the Way of the World, never wavering. Yet, he has been stuck at the ninth realm peak for eighty-one years and has yet to understand the World Rules. But she…”
This was simply too fast.
Faster than comprehension could keep up.
“He’s not normal,” Luo Qingchen said thoughtfully. “I have the Immortal Spirit Body, which is said to be stronger than the Innate Path Body, Holy Body, Dominator Body, and others according to ancient records. He is just a mortal body, but he makes me feel a sense of despair, as if I can’t even catch up with Chen Bei and Fang Qinghan.”
After a long time, Ran Xin opened her eyes, her face filled with joy. She didn’t start chastising Jiang Ming about Luo Qingchen being present and planted a kiss on him.
This made Luo Qingchen roll her eyes.
Ran Xin giggled, “Qingchen, have you made your decision?”
“I…,” Luo Qingchenblushed.
“I understand,” Ran Xin stood up and hummed, “For the great cause of our Blue Star Human Race, I’ll let you have this one.”
She left the villa directly.
Luo Qingchen’s face grew even redder, and she lowered her head.
Jiang Ming looked at her, feeling conflicted himself since they were classmates. But after making up his mind, he sternly said, “Luo, let’s do it!”
“Okay,” Luo Qingchen’s voice was very low.
Once she made her decision, she no longer hesitated, directly releasing her divine consciousness to connect with Jiang Ming.
The contact between their souls was much more remarkable than their physical bodies.’
A few days later.
Luo Qingchen left, and her aura had grown even more terrifying. The faint light surrounding her body gave off a feeling that she was about to ascend.
She had indeed undergone a transformation.
Jiang Ming found Principal Dongfang. The latter asked strangely, “You want to try your powers against a twelfth realm clansman?”
“Mmhin!” Jiang Ming nodded.
This was his plan.
After all, he knew little about the abilities of those in the twelfth realm. Since the Blue Star Human Race had them too, he decided to test himself before heading to Sky Martial City.
He wanted to see the difference in power and how much of a gap it was.
Then he would focus on making up for the gap.
Also, he had a deeper goal.
“You’re only at the tenth realm, but you want to compete with someone at the twelfth realm. That’s just too…” Principal Dongfang shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Let’s go! I’ll test your abilities in my secret room first. If the gap is not too big, you’d better not look for them. Otherwise, it will be easy to get discouraged.”
“Is the twelfth realm really that powerful?” Jiang Ming asked.
“It’s not just powerful; it’s despair-inducing,” Dongfang replied. “I’m at the eleventh realm in martial Dao and the Path of the Soul. In the Warzone of Ten Thousand Tribes, few can compare to me within the same realm. Yet, in the face of a twelfth realm existence, I’m like an ant. Everyone below the twelfth realm is just a mortal.”
Jiang Ming was taken aback.
Principal Dongfang’s secret room was a vast space and huge enough for their duel without startling the outside world or attracting attention.
The two stood about a hundred meters apart from each other.
For them, this distance was incredibly close, and they could kill with a snap of their fingers.
Hum…
Without any visible movement from Principal Dongfang, a one-party world projection appeared above his head, with the Five Elements rotating within.
Jiang Ming saw forests, seas of fire, mountains of gold, oceans, and earth, as the energies of the Five Elements constantly circulated, creating all sorts of marvelous images and countless peerless formations.
” Five Elements World!”
He immediately made a judgment.
