"How could that be? I'm going to Zhenyung Island; I'll be back in a day."
Jiang Ping explained that Jiang Hao's problem had not been fully resolved, and he would not simply leave.
"Zhenyung Island?"
Chen Qingyan's embroidered eyebrows furrowed even deeper.
What's on Zhenyung Island?
Heavenly Maiden.
"Yes, I'll go check on Zhong Shenxiu and see if he's returned."
Jiang Ping couldn't forget the Human Emperor Scripture and wanted to obtain it right now.
Afterwards, he set off on his journey and soon arrived at the Zhong Clan, where he met Xiao Nan Liang.
"You've come at the right time; someone left you a letter."
Nanliang simply took out a stack of letters, looking rather helpless.
Jiang Pingping was elusive and difficult to find, so everyone sent the letter directly to the Zhong Clan.
Jiang Ping glanced at it and saw that they were all written by various Daoist Dao Seed, who wanted to invite him for a drink.
He certainly didn't have the time for that; he burned it after reading it.
However, there are also a few pieces of news that deserve attention.
"I am about to go into seclusion. I will soon reach the Peak and then venture into the Brilliant Land. I will be setting off for the South Heaven Departmental Prefecture. Brother Jiang, if you are interested, you may come and find me."
This is a letter sent by Ye Qingyun, dated more than half a year ago.
Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow; that was a good idea.
He continued reading and discovered that Ji Wushuang had also written him a letter a month ago.
Ji Wushuang had a similar idea; she found a secluded place to cultivate in seclusion, preparing to go to the South Heaven Departmental Prefecture after reaching the Peak.
Like Ye Qingyun, this person also had the assistance of a True Saint, which greatly increased his speed in breaking through the barrier.
The difference is that its tone is quite arrogant:
"Brother Jiang, the Body Scripture is extremely rare, as it is crucial to achieving Great Perfection. I will surely obtain it upon my journey. If you wish to practice the Body Scripture, you may come with me."
Clearly, from Ji Wushuang's perspective, he would reach the Peak before Jiang Ping, which is why she was willing to take him to Seeking the Law.
Jiang Ping shrugged, burned the letter, and then wrote two more letters, which he sent to each of them.
After finishing his business, he asked about the purpose of his trip:
Where's your sister?
"He hasn't returned yet. I heard he's become an elder in some Supreme Dao System and is leading a group of geniuses on training."
Nanliang answered truthfully.
Even though I am Near-Dao Reincarnation, I am still extremely short of resources today.
"Um."
Jiang Ping nodded; it was within his expectations.
"Oh, right."
He spoke again, asking, "Is there any news regarding the matter I asked the nobleman to inquire about?"
"That's about it."
Nanliang nodded solemnly and replied:
"If nothing unexpected happens, the one who tried to kill you during that Forbidden Land Nine Heavens was none other than Gai Tianyang of the Tianlang Sea Area!"
The one who attacked and killed Jiang Pingping back then Unrivaled Dao Seed traveled to the Spirit Wander Realm, Ninth Heaven and whose foundation was Earth Water Fire Wind. It would be quite easy to find such a person.
"The Tianlang Sea Area."
Jiang Ping frowned deeply. This region was vast, inhabited by True Saints, and not just one, making it a glorious place in the world.
He asked, "Does that man surnamed Gai have any connection with the two True Saints of this region?"
Nanliang nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, I have met them all and have close ties with the heroes of the two great True Saint Clan."
Gai Tianyang was a peerless genius, and naturally he was appreciated by the true sage.
This person was also extremely ambitious. Since the Nine Heavens, he had been preparing to undergo the True Saint Tribulation. He had also gone to the Brilliant Land to search for the Supreme Body Scripture, and it is said that he had mastered it.
Next, he sought to gather the four Dao Fruits of [Earth Water Fire Wind] to refine the Dao Gold.
Before Jiang Ping was assassinated, it was said that this person was just one fruit short of the Fire Dao Fruit.
It's obvious that the one who made the move that time was most likely Gai Tianyang.
"You dare not make a move against Ji Wushuang? Are you taking advantage of my lack of backing?"
Jiang Ping's eyes flashed with Killing intent.
If he hadn't been cautious enough to draw attention to himself by Past Body, he might have truly faced a deadly attack.
"Brother Pingping!"
Nanliang said earnestly, "This matter requires careful consideration."
Putting aside Gai Tianyang's unparalleled Combat strength, he also has good relationships with the two True Saints. If such a being were to be exposed, all of this might come to naught.
"Jiang knows what he's doing."
Jiang Ping said nothing more, but instead took out a treasure box. "You've worked hard these past few days, nobles."
Asking someone for a favor always comes with its own reward. He opened the treasure box, and inside were several glistening leaves, tinged with the light of the fire.
Shenxiu's younger brother gladly accepted it. Such resources were very precious, especially to his sister, who had asked someone to help her back then, but in the end, she didn't even get a single leaf back.
Jiang Ping returned to Lingchuan Island in the afternoon.
Upon learning of the killer's power and connections, he felt little urgency and continued his quiet, ascetic practice.
The following year, he made a significant breakthrough, realizing the Karmic Wonderful Method, and achieving the Thirty percent of Divine Intent in the Years Sword Art.
Sulfuric acid!
A faint blue light emanated from Jiang Ping's fingertip, containing the Dao Rhythm principles of Samsara, Causality, Void, the Five Elements, and lightning.
Thump!
This Dao Light was terrifying. As the Qi Mechanism gradually expanded and the arc of light spread, everything around it instantly distorted and was torn apart by the terrifying force.
Jiang Ping was horrified by this; this law was too terrifying, far more so than the Samsara Authority.
Is it truly the Sword of Time?
Sometimes he wondered if the power of time could truly achieve a harmonious balance with everything in the world.
"Perhaps the Years Method is this terrifying. The Heavenly Maiden once said that Samsara have been several Yin Yang Dao Lords in history, but only one Time Dao Monarch."
Jiang Ping murmured to himself. After a moment, he felt somewhat exhausted, and the blue flames began to crack.
"The progress of the Years Sword Art is ultimately too slow. To achieve complete mastery, it's difficult to maintain the current level."
Jiang Ping sighed inwardly.
With the dramatic increase in various methods, the Years Sword Art struggles to keep up, finding it too difficult to bear everything.
After that, he went into asceticism.
However, in that year, his son recovered and was able to begin practicing Martial Dao.
Ten-year-old Jiang Hao is like a little adult, very dashing.
He said, "Father, I've recovered. Mother said you're going on a long trip."
Jiang Ping patted his son's head and smiled:
"No rush, Dad can stay with you for a while longer."
Although he has already Primordial Spirit Sees Dao Years Sword, his two years of arduous cultivation have not yet reached the required standard.
"Father, Ji Wushuang has reached the Peak!"
The eldest daughter Jiang Yirou, suddenly appeared and excitedly told her the news.
Two years have passed, and her strength has changed dramatically. She has taken two doses of the Miraculous Fate-Changing Medicine that Jiang Ping brought back, and has recently become Life Martial Saint.
However, his personality remains the same; he still enjoys holding meetings with geniuses and pays special attention to the Dao Seed Circle, often offering his opinions.
"Father, even Ji Wushuang has broken through the barrier. When will you announce it to the world?"
Jiang Yirou was filled with anticipation.
The outside world is saying that Ji Wushuang has surpassed Jiang Pingping, and that Jiang Pingping will need some time to reach the Peak, as she has already been overtaken.
She wanted to argue that her own father had reached the Peak two years ago, not letting the Heavenly Maiden monopolize the spotlight.
Jiang Ping didn't care; instead, he looked at his eldest daughter with curiosity.
"I've heard you're getting quite close to a genius. When will you bring him to meet Father so he can see our Jiang family's future son-in-law before he goes on his long journey?"
"Rumor!"
Jiang Yirou immediately denied it; she hadn't even had enough fun yet, how could she be thinking about getting married?
"Is that so?"
Jiang Ping's interest immediately waned, and he then left the room.
He went to the Zhong Clan again, and unsurprisingly, Ye Qingyun and Ji Wushuang both sent letters, urging him to show himself quickly, as both of them had reached the Peak.
Jiang Ping sent another letter. "Wait a while."
Because he hasn't broken through the barrier yet.
At this point, Jiang Ping was not in a hurry to set off. He had a premonition that he would soon be able to overcome the Eight-Nine Tribulation!
Time flies, another year has passed.
