Chapter 1546 - Quintessence Entry Stage

Chapter 1546: Quintessence Entry Stage

Poison Spirit was in a bind. If Jiang Yi was really in the Demon-Buster Valley, he would definitely think of a way for the three ladies to be reunited with Jiang Yi. It was actually very easy to send them there; as long as he looked for Mo Lingqiu or Di Ming, it shouldn’t be a problem. The problem was that Jiang Yi was dead; what was the point in sending them to the Demon-Buster Valley?

The Divine Tree’s actions had made everyone think that Jiang Yi had perished. As Poison Spirit himself had gone to verify, he was very certain that Jiang Yi had indeed died. Poison Spirit had returned to Jiang Yi Prefecture to help Jiang Yi maintain this prefecture and help Jiang Yi protect his kin and loved ones.

If it wasn’t for Jiang Yi, Poison Spirit would probably still be doing the bidding of Xuanyuan Lingyan and would be hunted down like a street rat once his identity was exposed; he would not be able to live openly for the rest of his life.

Jiang Yi was Yi Piaopiao’s son while Yi Piaopiao was from the Phantom Race’s royal family. Poison Spirit had long ago regarded Jiang Yi as his Young Lord. Poison Spirit was also very comfortable with following Jiang Yi; he had even coincidentally realized the Divine Spirit Thrust, allowing his name to be known throughout the entire Earth Domain. Even Yi Tu had the intention of bringing Poison Spirit back into the Phantom Race.

Hence, Poison Spirit had decided long ago that he would be Jiang Yi’s servant for the rest of his life, protecting Jiang Yi’s legacy and his offspring until the day he grew old and died.

Yi Chan and company’s level of attainment were very low; they were like three ants to Poison Spirit. However, Poison Spirit had already regarded them as his masters. He naturally didn’t want them to suddenly hear the news about the death of their loved one. At the very least, Poison Spirit wanted them to get used to life in the Earth Domain, for them to become stronger and have the capacity to accept the news before he broke it to them.

Poison Spirit thought for a moment and suddenly came up with an idea. He said rather comfortably, “Alright, madams. I will make arrangements as soon as possible. However, your soul spirits are too weak. The Demon-Buster Army Camp is actually not in the Earth Domain; you all will have to be teleported for a very long distance. Your soul spirits would definitely not be able to withstand it and could even disintegrate. Hence, if you three wish to go and look for Young Lord, your soul spirits and level of attainment have to increase first. Rest assured that we will look for many spirit herbs for you three, such that your soul spirits and level of attainment will swiftly grow stronger.”

Xiao Hong thought for a moment, and he added hurriedly, “That’s right! My madams, your soul spirits are rather weak. It would probably take a very long time for you all to be teleported back to the Blue Eagle Mountain, much less the Demon-Buster Army camp. Please do not be anxious; we will definitely think of ways to help you three grow stronger.”

Yi Chan looked towards the Black Deity. He had been here for so long and knew more about the happenings of the Earth Domain. The Black Deity nodded to indicate that Poison Spirit and Xiao Hong were not lying to them.

“Alright, then let’s teleport back to Jiang Manor soon; we want to enter seclusion as soon as possible!”

Yi Chan ordered. They were not going to wait for three hundred years; that was too long for them. If they couldn’t see Jiang Yi for three hundred years, they might as well die.

After resting for a while, Poison Spirit and Xiao Hong brought the trio and started to teleport. After teleporting twice, Yi Chan and the other two ladies realized how weak their soul spirits were. They had only teleported twice, and they already felt dizzy and had headaches as if they were about to pass out.

Poison Spirit immediately brought them to rest within that city’s best inn. He also took out a few ordinary soul-spirit nourishing spirit herbs for the trio to consume. Just like this, they teleported and rested; it took a full half a month before they reached the Blue Eagle Mountain.

Once they reached the Blue Eagle Mountain, the trio rested for a day and then immediately entered the ten-thousand-fold secret cultivation room within the mountain. Poison Spirit and Xiao Hong also started to look for soul-spirit nourishing spirit herbs as they sent them continuously to the three ladies.

However…

Poison Spirit actually made some modifications to the plan. He sent spirit herbs that were not high-grade ones; he also told the three that their soul spirits needed to be at least peak-stage God General-equivalent before they could withstand the damage the Teleportation Formation would do to their soul spirits when teleporting to the Demon-Buster Army camp. The three would require at least ten Higher-Domain days to reach this level of attainment; at that time, Poison Spirit would then tell them the truth.

…

Jiang Yi was still in seclusion. He really didn’t know that more than ten days had passed; his consciousness was still waiting for the Lunar Beasts to attack. He naturally didn’t know that so many people had their hearts broken when they couldn’t find him; he also couldn’t know that his three beloved wives had already ascended and were in the Blue Eagle Mountain at this time.

Sitting cross-legged under the Divine Tree and with the cultivation speed here comparable to the Primitive Mystic Realm’s, it was akin to Jiang Yi having been cultivating in the Primitive Mystic Realm for thirteen days. Under such a fast cultivation speed, Jiang Yi’s heavenly powers had increased immensely. Originally, his heavenly powers had only just barely reached the God King-equivalent level. Now, after thirteen days of cultivation, his heavenly powers were now akin to that of a high-tier God King’s.

Jiang Yi actually wasn’t paying much attention to his heavenly powers’ increase. If he had, he probably would have known that a long time had passed. The reason why he was so engrossed and had seemed to have forgotten everything was because of a very important occurrence.

He had finally entered the Entry Stage of quintessence!

Holding the Divine Tree leaf in his hand, Jiang Yi’s realization speed was equivalent to that of being in the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm. Not only was his mind working much faster, but his thought process was also crystal-clear. Most importantly, after realizing for three to four days underneath the Divine Tree, Jiang Yi actually felt that he had gotten a sliver of realization. As he traced this line of thought, he slowly but surely actually realized the Entry Stage of quintessence.

For any law, nomology, quintessence, mystical ability, or secret art; the hardest part of realizing it was the Entry Stage. Without reaching the Entry Stage, one would never know what direction to head towards. After entering this Entry Stage, no matter how arduous the journey was going to be, with a direction in mind, one would definitely reach the end.

After entering this Entry Stage, Jiang Yi focused all his energy on this. He urgently wanted to fully realize this quintessence, such that he could reach the Perfection Stage. Once that happened and when his heavenly powers increased further, he would finally be a King-Ranked formidable martial artist.

Jiang Yi’s thinking was not wrong; anyone who received a treasure would want to hold onto it tightly and refine it immediately, turning it completely into his object.

However, Jiang Yi had underestimated the complexity of quintessence. If it could be said that a low-grade law had a thousand-foot long journey to reaching the Phenomenal Stage, this quintessence had at least ten thousand journeys to complete; each journey was also a hundred-thousand-feet long.

The more Jiang Yi tried to understand, deduce, and confirm this quintessence; the more he realized how complex and magical it was.

He also didn’t dare to stop, fearing that he might break off his current state of realization and that it would take much longer if he wanted to continue this later on. Hence, Jiang Yi did not even bother keeping a lookout for any impending danger that might come to him; he decided to not care about anything as he went deep into seclusion, trying to deduce this quintessence fully.

Thirteen days, fourteen days… fifteen days… sixteen days…

Jiang Yi’s heavenly powers cultivation speed was very fast; the heavenly powers within Jiang Yi’s divine core were almost more than half-full. When that happened, Jiang Yi’s heavenly powers would change color once again and his heavenly powers level of attainment would be Demon-Killing Battle God-equivalent. Once he filled up his divine core completely, his divine core would change again, and Jiang Yi would finally be King-Ranked.

With the Divine Tree’s proactive assistance, Jiang Yi cultivated with much ease. If nothing out of the ordinary happened—for example, the Divine Tree actually waking Jiang Yi up or he hit a bottleneck in his cultivation; Jiang Yi would probably keep on continuing his cultivation.

The Divine Tree behind Jiang Yi had definitely gained intelligence and was sentient. A lady’s face would form on its trunk occasionally. That face was very pretty. Every time, it would look at Jiang Yi for a short while, smile, and then disappear again.
