Jiao Ming Domain.
Near the Realm Passage lay a minor world called the Magic Stone Minor Realm.
That day, within this world, a human slave dressed in rags, plain in appearance, ordinary in status, with neither love nor hatred, nor any karmic entanglements, suddenly had a flicker of intelligence appear in his numb eyes before it swiftly vanished.
Within his spiritual soul, a special kind of soul power began to emerge, carrying the aura of the great sun and electromagnetism.
"Magic Stone Minor Realm..."
Jiang Ding murmured.
This human slave was named Zhu Zi. He had no surname and possessed Qi Refining Level Seven cultivation. He was already dead.
He had not been poisoned, nor had a steward secretly harmed him out of jealousy, nor had he offended some noble young lady. He had simply died suddenly, ordinarily.
A slave cultivated quick-success techniques that ravaged his potential and toiled in the mines every day without time to recuperate. It was perfectly normal for him to die suddenly. There was nothing strange about it. Such was the lowliness of his life.
Likewise, there was nothing strange about him not dying and continuing to live for a while longer.
Everything was utterly ordinary, without anything that could arouse suspicion.
Jiang Ding maintained Zhu Zi's dying yet not-dead spiritual soul. His own body and spiritual soul concealed themselves within Zhu Zi's body through the Shadow Demon Abyss secret technique, the Soul Concealment and Spirit Communication Technique.
At this time, the nine Dao Children had already descended upon the Jiao Ming Domain without a sound.
Jiang Ding did not know where the other Dao Children were or where they had gone. He was not interested, nor would he allow anyone else to know where he was. Thus, he came to this remote little city.
