Chapter 758
Return
After entering the Eternal Tower.
Jiang Shu completely emptied himself, immersing himself in understanding and mastering the Dao of Time.
Compared to the turbulent Demon Realm, the Eternal Tower is absolutely safe.
Moreover, his condition at this time was extremely bad.
The timeless Daoist energy emanating from him seemed to want his life at all times!
Just as Jiang Shu was concentrating on his cultivation, the surrounding Eternal Tower seemed to be stirred, and a vast Dao of Time surged forth.
"Ok?"
Jiang Shu frowned slightly, immediately sensing that something was wrong, but quickly relaxed.
In a sense, the Eternal Tower is a perfect creation that combines space and time, containing a vast amount of time-related principles.
At this moment, even if Jiang Shu's attack was the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor's last stand, in the end, it was only a trace.
It cannot compare to the vast and boundless Dao of Time within the Eternal Tower.
Jiang Shu manipulated his hand seals, circulated his own cultivation technique, continuously comprehended the power of time, and, with the help of the natural feedback from the Eternal Tower, challenged the residual Daoist essence within his body.
Without a doubt, this is an extremely painful process!
At this moment, Jiang Shu was like a fish struggling against the impact in the vast ocean of time, and the residual Dao of Time on his body was like water scales, constantly being washed away by the torrent of Dao of Time.
Time flowed continuously within the tower, and countless days and seasons passed.
Only when all the time-related Dao auras on Jiang Shu's body were completely removed did he slowly open his eyes.
The moment it opened its eyes, it seemed as if the power of time flowed deep within them, but in the end it turned into a calm, pitch-black darkness, as if it contained all things.
"It's done."
Jiang Shu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and relaxed for a moment.
Only then did Jiang Shu regain his peak condition.
Relaxing slightly, Jiang Shu strolled on the eighth floor of the Eternal Tower, recalling his experience of stepping into the vast demon realm, and his lips pursed slightly.
"He disrupted the advancement of the Burning Heaven Ancestor to the Dao Lord, participated in the war between the Heavenly Court and the Demon Realm, and even caught the tail end of the battle at the last moment, causing several Demon Lords to suffer a great defeat."
Thinking of this, Jiang Shu took several deep breaths. At this moment, his realm had almost reached the top level of the Cangmang Great Domain and the Demon Domain.
He could even fight against some of the supreme leaders of the eight major sects.
He kept calculating what he had gained from this time travel.
Undoubtedly, it's incredibly abundant!
He not only obtained a clone of Golden Horn, but also went through a great battle and advanced from the ordinary early stage of the Chaos Realm to the middle stage of the Chaos Realm!
It should be understood that for such a small advancement, countless demon lords and Dao lords may be stuck at this level, unable to advance even half a step.
Moreover, Jiang Shu had also grasped a rudimentary understanding of the Dao of Time, and was able to manipulate it to some extent.
In addition, Jiang Shu received the inheritance of the Bashe Demon Lord.
Although Bashe had ulterior motives and was using him as a pawn, Jiang Shu had carefully studied the inheritance and had no doubt that it was complete and without any errors.
Besides these, Jiang Shu also received various other benefits, such as the remains of the Tongtian Jianmu, Ruomu, and Fusang Ancient Tree...
This trip was very fruitful!
Not only are the treasures they inherit almost all top-tier, but their strength has also increased dramatically.
He has laid a solid foundation. If these treasures can be exchanged for corresponding resources, they would probably be enough for him to slowly cultivate to the Manifestation Realm.
"What kind of expressions will those old friends have when they know that my strength has grown to this extent?"
Jiang Shu chuckled softly.
As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold and risky, and the saying is certainly true.
He endured so many dangers in the vast and desolate realms and the demon realm to obtain his current power.
"In that case, let's leave the pass."
Jiang Shu stabilized his aura; the Great Dao of Time was extremely difficult to comprehend.
It's not to say that sitting idly will necessarily yield results.
Many times, one can sit in meditation for a hundred years to gain enlightenment.
Perhaps none of these can compare to the feeling gained from a single encounter with a peer.
A thousand years of sitting in meditation cannot compare to a single word of guidance from a sage.
With one step, Jiang Shu left the Eternal Tower.
This time, Jiang Shu's spatial manipulation techniques were even more proficient, and he left the base in just one step.
And then, they appeared in a desolate cosmic sky.
"Sigh, the starry sky is so much better, unlike the void which is so troublesome."
Jiang Shu slowly shook his head, recalled his home coordinates, and then took a step, returning to Tianqu Star once again.
Just like when he left last time, nothing major happened on this life-bearing planet. Various star shuttles of different shapes and sizes flowed by.
Various information flows and energy fluctuations were also flashing frequently. At this moment, even without any technological means at hand, Jiang Shu could distinguish them through his mental consciousness.
Concealing his own aura, Jiang Shu glanced around and then locked onto the aura he was looking for.
"Everything is normal now."
The Jiuyu Chamber of Commerce was much the same as when he last left, and it seemed to have become even more prosperous. After a short while, Jiang Shu noticed that on a flying boat, a figure dressed in green robes was discussing something with a group of people.
"Next, our Jiuyu Chamber of Commerce will continue to strengthen cooperation with the War Alliance."
"Tianqu Star is now an important base for us. We need to strengthen our connections with the inner and outer perimeter of the Realm of Formless."
“In a few days, you will be coming with me to the War Alliance. We must get this matter settled first.”
……
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Jiang Shu looked up and saw a short-haired woman in a green robe with a cold and beautiful face, eyes that were narrowed like snakes, exuding a sinister yet alluring aura.
"Hey, it's really well-run."
Jiang Shu smiled slightly, took a step, and appeared beside his follower.
"Why don't you speak?"
Yu Tianming frowned slightly as he looked at his attendants and said, "The important matter comes next. How can I assign tasks to you when you're all like this?"
She was about to reprimand these guys when she suddenly lost focus just as he was about to speak.
At this moment, one of her subordinates looked increasingly strange.
Yu Tianming was slightly taken aback and subconsciously turned her head, even though she sensed that there was nothing behind her.
But the next moment, Yu Tianming turned his gaze to the side, and a handsome face with a slight smile came into his eyes.
Jiang Shu!
The beauty's snake-like pupils suddenly contracted, as if they were about to shrink to the size of pinpoints, and she spoke with surprise:
"Your Highness, you have emerged from seclusion!"
She let out a joyful cheer, her demeanor changing so drastically that it was as if she had transformed from a femme fatale into a young girl.
"It went fairly smoothly." Jiang Shu crossed his arms, nodded slightly, and had a smile in his eyes.
Undoubtedly, he had gone through a much longer period of time, but naturally he wouldn't tell the woman in front of him.
"I just heard you were going to the War Alliance. Is there something you need? I know that place well."
"Nothing, Your Highness."
Yu Tianming shook his head repeatedly and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing more than some business dealings, it's nothing serious."
"That's good."
Jiang Shu nodded slightly, his eyes narrowing as he spoke, "However, I do need to go there soon. If I have nothing else to do in a few days, I'll go with you."
"it is good."
Yu Tianming nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.
"By the way, where are they?"
Jiang Shu smiled and asked.
"Lord Luo is currently handling some matters in the Star Ruins Realm and is expected to return in a few days."
"As for Zhan Feng and Zhan Yun, they are currently in seclusion and seem to be trying to break through to a higher realm."
"As for the others..."
Yu Tianming started rambling on, completely unlike his usual self. Jiang Shu listened attentively, nodding and smiling from time to time.
Sure enough, nothing too serious went wrong.
Thinking of Venerable Luo, Jiang Shu raised his hand and grabbed a jade tablet, which was none other than the Xuanbi Talisman that Venerable Luo had given him last time.
This item can withstand a full-force attack from a mid-stage Venerable, so it's quite a treasure, it's just a pity...
Jiang Shu's lips twitched slightly.
When he returned to the vast domain this time, his opponents were not only the Burning Heaven Ancestor, but also Ao Qing, and he even walked on the edge of the battlefield of Dao Lords and Demon Lords who were equivalent to Saints.
In that kind of battlefield, the Xuanbi Talisman was no different from a thin piece of paper.
Let alone those opponents, even Jiang Shu himself in his current state could probably crush such a Xuanbi talisman with ease.
"Truly, life is unpredictable."
Jiang Shu smiled and shook his head, then looked at Yu Tianming beside him and said, "This thing was given to me by Venerable Luo last time, so I'll give it to you now."
"I?"
Yu Tianming immediately showed a hint of surprise, but then shook his head hesitantly and said, "Your Highness, you usually come here to adventure, while I only handle some matters in the merchant guild. This item is more important to you."
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Shu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "This thing is no longer of much use to me."
"Not very useful..." Yu Tianming murmured to himself, his eyes suddenly lighting up.
She had personally witnessed Venerable Luo give this item to Jiang Shu, and knew that it could withstand a full-force attack from a Venerable in the mid-stage.
This item is not even of much use to His Highness?
Thinking of this, Yu Tianming took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little incredulous.
His Highness has only recently been promoted to the Venerable Realm.
However, Yu Tianming still chose to believe, and took the jade pendant from Jiang Shu with a slightly flushed face.
"Take it."
Jiang Shu nodded slightly and said, "I was going out of seclusion to catch up with some old friends, but since there aren't any old friends here right now, I'll take you to the War Alliance now."
"Now?"
Yu Tianming was slightly taken aback, then nodded and immediately gave instructions to his subordinates.
His subordinates nodded repeatedly, saying nothing more.
Jiang Shu raised his hand and patted Yu Tianming on the shoulder, immediately teleporting into the void.
At this moment, with the blessing of the Tongtian Jianmu, his spatial realm is no less than that of the peak of the Venerable realm. Crossing the starry sky and mastering coordinates is naturally a piece of cake.
Space shifted continuously, and Jiang Shu sped away into the distance with incredible speed.
As Yu Tianming was swept across the sea of stars, her beautiful eyes brightened, and her snake-like pupils widened slightly, revealing a hint of longing and anticipation.
"If I were to become a Venerable One, would I possess such charisma?"
The battle alliance arrived quickly, and Jiang Shu revealed his identity, gaining entry with ease.
As soon as he entered, he was about to greet the senior members when he suddenly turned his head to look into the distance and sensed a trace of the Great Dao of Space.
The next moment, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He turned to look at Yu Tianming beside him and said with a smile, "Interesting. I didn't expect to see such a good show so soon after I got back."
"A good show?"
Yu Tianming was slightly taken aback, and then she saw Jiang Shu take a step forward, a force gently resting on her body, and then, under the watchful eyes of his subordinates, the two of them disappeared instantly.
……
Deep within the Nine Universe Chamber of Commerce, Zhan Feng sat cross-legged, surrounded by a vast and boundless aura. The surging aura of the Great Dao of Space spread out, radiating a dazzling silver light!
Every acupoint and pore of his body was opening up with all its might, like giant beasts greedily absorbing the power around them.
At this moment, he is going all out to break through to the next major realm—the Venerable One!
"Jiang Shu surpassed me and reached that level, so how can I stand still?"
Prior to this, Zhan Feng and Zhan Yun had been accumulating their own strength, ready to break through that obstacle in one fell swoop.
After Jiang Shu's last breakthrough, he continued to cultivate diligently, and even fought a great battle with many powerful figures, accumulating a lot of strength.
After a great battle, he had an epiphany and began to try to break through to the Venerable Realm.
At this moment, countless runes lit up one after another. Zhan Feng's unique cultivation path was imprinted on his body like runes, displaying ferocious yet mysterious symbols.
However, this also brought great pain, since imprinting the Dao onto the physical body and simultaneously opening up one's own chaotic space is not a simple matter.
Countless Dao patterns flashed by, densely packed, carrying a vast spatial power as they settled and collapsed inwards, all returning to Zhan Feng's body.
In the next instant, a vast and powerful aura emanated from his body, steady and immense, flowing continuously with every gesture and movement of his feet.
"It's done!"
At that very moment, Zhan Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of joy appearing in them.
His aura has completely broken through, reaching the Venerable realm!
Constant dripping wears away a stone; great things are achieved through gradual accumulation!
All the experience he had accumulated before finally erupted at this moment!
"The Venerable Realm has finally been reached!"
The next moment, Zhan Feng let out a long roar, full of heroic spirit, and then a smile appeared on his lips, "Hey, I wonder how that kid is doing in his seclusion. I really want to spar with him."
At this moment, Zhan Feng didn't think of his enemies or his sister, but of Jiang Shu!
"Alright, it's time to come out of seclusion and announce this news to my fellow Daoists."
Zhan Feng was overjoyed and strode out of the secluded room, preparing to report the matter.
Suddenly, however, the hairs on his body stood on end as he sensed an extreme threat, as if a colossal beast from the heavens was staring at him. (End of Chapter)
