The giant mountain erupted with boundless Chaos Aura, like a mountain torrent bursting its banks, irrigating the endless mountain range.
Fortunately, this area was shrouded by a great formation, making it difficult even for Mid-Rank Dao Monarch to detect.
However, the Turtle Shell suddenly frowned. It looked into the distance and sensed many gazes coming from the depths of the Initial Land.
With a loud bang.
The patterns on the A-Upper shell glowed, and the dense Runes, like Heavenly Light spilling out, formed an impenetrable wall of laws.
The old tortoise glanced at the depths of the Initial Land with utter disdain.
Jiang Ping was completely unaware of all this; he was currently immersed in improving his Dao practice, and his body was becoming increasingly hot.
Several days passed, and he had taken various precious medicines in succession, nearly exhausting the harvest from the Grade B medicinal fields.
Rumble!
At this moment, Jiang Ping's body trembled violently, and his breath was accompanied by the surging of Heavenly Dao rhymes, as if the heavens themselves were rising and falling.
Around him, the Tai Dao Map spun rapidly, and the Yin and Yang and Yang energies moved in all directions, as if Heaven Opening.
Then, the scene of Heaven Opening and Earth Creation dissipated, transforming into thick, eerie flames that scorched through the Void...
The laws of Causality, and Samsara, unfolded in Dharma Image, until finally, a Heavenly Sword appeared in the sky.
The True Spirit transformed into a sword, displaying the power of Thunder and flowing with astonishing Thunder Fire.
This is the True Spirit Scripture that Jiang Ping has been cultivating recently. It has reached an extremely deep level and can threaten Dao Monarch.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly. He had taken nine kinds of Great Dao Rare Treasures in succession, and the number of Dao Elixir he had taken had already exceeded ten, but apart from his body being a little hot, there were no other symptoms.
"Chaos Body really consume a lot of resources."
Jiang Ping sighed and had no choice but to take out the Dao Elixir again.
It was a jade bottle containing a Soul Spring Water the size of a lake.
Without hesitation, he drank the soul water in one gulp.
In an instant, Jiang Ping felt his body burst with vitality and his mind became completely absorbed.
This was nourishment to elevate his soul consciousness, something he had never tasted before. He was filled with joy, his very flesh and blood seemed to rejoice.
Jiang Ping was as if he were drunk, his cheeks flushed, his eyes glazed over, experiencing an unprecedented bliss.
As his True Spirit continued to rise and transform, his form and spirit expanded over a wide area, and the Chaos Light gradually surged and became violent.
"I'm finally about to clear the level!"
The Turtle Shell revealed its anticipation.
This young man was unlike any other genius he had ever met. His potential seemed as Abyss, and he devoured all kinds of precious medicines like munching on radishes, without any restriction.
"Um?"
Before long, Jiang Ping frowned again.
He was almost at the Third Level of the Monarch, at a crucial moment in his breakthrough, but the progress had slowed down, as if he was running out of steam.
"I still need to take drugs."
Jiang Ping looked pained; aside from the Body Medicine, he only had two kinds of Great Dao Rare Treasures left.
But he dared not delay, and immediately took out another jade bottle, which contained the Life-Death Water.
A bone- Cold Pool hangs in mid-air, its Life-Death scenery adorning Azure Peace Peak.
Jiang Ping stood up, his Dharma Image Heaven Opening. He opened his blood-red maw and quickly drank the Water of Life-Death.
The Dao grain reacted instantly within his body, and countless rays of light flowed across his entire body, like sharp swords piercing the sky.
With a loud boom, the Chaos Aura surged, creating a hazy scene where all things revolved, and Time and Space were fixed in one place.
A purer ray of primordial divine light formed, tearing the dome apart and causing the protective array to explode with tremendous force.
The Turtle Shell's emotions were fluctuating, and its Causality domain was in chaos, on the verge of collapse.
It exclaimed in amazement; this young man was almost catching up with it in such a short time.
Of course, its severe Incompleteness and lack of combat prowess do not mean that Jiang Ping can contend with all High-Rank Dao Monarch at this moment.
Without a doubt, Jiang Ping has completed his breakthrough and officially established himself at the Third Level of the Dao Monarch realm.
"Eh~"
After passing the test, Jiang Ping was the first to let out a soft exclamation.
An unprecedented sense of fatigue suddenly surfaced.
"The passes are truly formidable; I find it difficult to advance continuously!"
Jiang Ping said in a deep voice.
The Turtle Shell, on the contrary, thought it was a good thing. If one could truly accumulate precious medicines indefinitely, then one would not be human.
"The Mystery of Time hasn't improved!"
Jiang Ping suddenly frowned.
A wisp of divine light emanated from his fingertips, incompatible with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and its appearance instantly influenced Time and Space.
This wisp of mystery is very mysterious and cannot be devoured or contained by the Chaos Dao Body. Now, even as his realm increases, it has not been strengthened.
Jiang Ping immediately sat cross-legged, trying to recreate the miraculous scene of breaking through the highest point that day, but after a long time, he opened his eyes with regret, having gained nothing.
He was puzzled and sought advice from the knowledgeable Turtle Shell. The tortoise shell was immediately shocked, having never heard of such a wondrous sight before, witnessing the demise of the Xuanhuang.
The Turtle Shell sighed softly, "The foundation of Xuanhuang is not as profound as you imagined. Perhaps this is a characteristic of the <Time Sword Scripture>, it has reached its limit."
This disappointed Jiang Ping somewhat, as it meant he had lost a major trump card.
The next moment, the Turtle Shell changed the subject and said:
"Or perhaps, when you reach the highest level, you are struck by luck and grasp the essence of a certain field, which may be the foundation of the deepest realm."
"The Dao Ancestor?"
After a moment's thought, the Turtle Shell said, "It doesn't seem like it."
"The beginning of eternity?"
That's unrealistic.
The Turtle Shell refuted this claim, stating that grasping a Starfire of eternity at the Dao Monarch Realm was utterly absurd.
"It could also be a manifestation of your future becoming Supreme Dao Ancestor, complementing the principle of 'Reverse Effect into Cause.'"
The Turtle Shell continued.
Ultimately, in terms of the philosophy of the "Time Sword Scripture," he was far inferior to the creator before him and could not provide him with any answers.
However, he felt a surge of excitement, seeing a possibility in Jiang Ping.
The possibility of being called the Peerless among the Dao Ancestor.
Jiang Ping looked down at the wondrous light emanating from his fingertips, then finally blew it out, no longer seeking further investigation.
A moment later, he was suddenly overjoyed and took out the last of his precious medicines.
"I feel my fatigue disappear."
The Turtle Shell was severely injured; how could it have recovered so quickly?
It breathed a slight sigh of relief soon after, because Jiang Ping could no longer digest the precious medicine after just a few bites, and felt noticeably tired.
"It seems that even I have my limits eventually; I need to rest for a few days."
Jiang Ping sighed.
Turtle Shell: "..."
Even those Fate Child in the Initial Land of life, when faced with such a situation, would need months to years to endure it.
Does this young man think he can improve again after taking a couple of days off?
Several days later, Jiang Ping completely consumed the last of the Great Dao Rare Treasures.
The Turtle Shell was no longer alarmed and fully accepted the fact that Jiang Ping was indeed different from others, and might be the true savior hidden in the Xuanhuang.
How long until the next time the herb field opens?
Jiang Ping sent a message to Yun Shuang.
The Turtle Shell said, "You're not thinking of trying again to break through the Fourth Level, are you?"
"Why not? The Xuanhuang is gradually decaying, and there are pressing issues on all fronts. We should strive to make rapid progress and share the burdens of the world."
Jiang Ping spoke boldly, but the Turtle Shell remained silent in rebuttal.
Soon, Jiang Ping learned that two medicinal fields would be opened in two months, but they were only the lowest-level Class C medicinal fields, with few rare treasures, and one person could not participate in the competition for two medicinal fields at the same time.
This left him with a slight sense of regret.
Jiang Ping didn't sit idle; while waiting for the resources to be released, his focus was on the <Human Emperor Scripture>.
This scripture is eternal and cannot be ignored.
He used the Blood Tree, which even the descendants of the Candle Dragon coveted, to train his physique, and the eighth refinement was already underway.
However, body tempering requires a slow and steady approach; it cannot be rushed.
Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The time for Resource competition has come again.
Both medicinal herb fields were open at the same time. When Jiang Ping stepped into one of them, he clearly noticed that half of the geniuses around the round table were gone.
Clearly, the last time he personally led the team to compete, he was so powerful that no Monarch with talent and background dared to compete with him again.
Most of those here are relatively weak and lack connections.
Although Lei Fang was acquainted with Jiang Ping, he considered that there were no friends when it came to interests, so he did not come here.
"That arrogant and domineering Yu Shen is also in another medicinal herb field."
Li Li gazed into the distance and saw the Years Female Monarch Yu Xi in person, her heroic bearing and domineering over all the other talents present.
"Yu Changqing hasn't broken through yet, so they naturally don't dare to go head-to-head with Brother Jiang."
Tang Sheng.
"It's said that things are at a crucial moment, in the next few days."
Fang Xin's expression was grave.
Jiang Ping seriously injured Yu Shen, and as Yu Shen's cousin, Yu Changqing would inevitably show his support when they meet again.
There will definitely be a tough battle to be fought then.
"Yes, roughly when the Grade-A Medicinal Fields open up a year from now."
Compared to the current Grade C medicinal field, the previous Grade B medicinal field...
The resources in that Grade-A Medicinal Field were truly a blessing; for example, the Time- Dao Elixir that Jiang Ping needed was also growing there.
If you're lucky, those medicinal fields might even give birth to wondrous chaotic treasures.
Jiang Ping pondered whether the resources from a Grade-A Medicinal Field would allow him to try his luck again.
"Let's begin."
Just then, the person in charge from the core area interrupted his thoughts.
The Round Table Council has reopened.
With fewer competitors this time, and the Chaos Dao Monarch's personal presence once again, everything went smoothly without any friction.
Jiang Ping calmly harvested the resources, pocketing a total of eight kinds of Dao medicines, two of which were body-enhancing medicines.
After returning to Azure Peace Peak, he continued to take the medicine, and his strength increased rapidly once again.
However, the intermediate level is extraordinary.
This realm is extremely profound and requires a high level of potential.
Some geniuses may achieve Dao Monarch status early on, but then their progress slows down, and they may never be able to enter the intermediate level in their lifetime.
However, such geniuses do not exist in the Initial Land; the potential of a peerless prodigy is almost guaranteed to reach the intermediate level.
For Jiang Ping, there would be no major difficulties. Dao Self was in charge of guiding the way forward. If Flawed, it would be that he could not always keep his resources plentiful.
Three days later, he stopped.
There was no other reason than that the Dao Elixir had been exhausted.
Moreover, given the current situation, the resources required to go from the Third Level to the Fourth Level are enormous.
Jiang Ping consumed six kinds of Dao Elixir, totaling nine Great Dao Rare Treasures, yet his progress only increased by 20%.
Be content; your improvement has been fast enough.
The Turtle Shell sighed.
It was originally afraid that this person would encounter Bottleneck and have to rely on time to hone their skills, making it difficult to catch up with those Fate Child in terms of realm.
Now he is worried that this person is taking too much medicine, which could easily lead to instability in their health.
As the saying goes, every medicine has its side effects; even rare Dao Elixir can have adverse effects.
Jiang Ping laughed and said, "Senior, have you forgotten what kind of physique I have?"
"The Chaos Body is two sides of the same coin; it devours everything. What others see as toxicity and adverse effects, I see as resources for advancement."
The Turtle Shell ultimately did not open again.
Only then did it realize that it had always considered itself a senior, but along the way it had rarely given this person any crucial guidance, nor was it able to offer any guidance at all.
Jiang Ping leaned back and stretched.
The next time the Dao Elixir matures and blooms, it will be a year from now. During this time, I can only cultivate diligently on my own.
"It's alright. Everyone says that there will be drug resistance at the pass after the upgrade, so let's slow down and endure it for a bit."
The Turtle Shell remained silent. If Fate Child heard these words, he would probably be furious and want to hit someone.
Does anyone say that?
Which genius in the world hasn't encountered a period of delayed breakthrough? They can only patiently endure it.
This is the only one who needs it; what he lacks isn't time to digest the information, but rather the resources for rapid improvement.
However, just as Jiang Ping was preparing to cultivate diligently on his own, his Communication Artifact started flashing incessantly, with multiple people calling him simultaneously.
Not long after, Yun Shuang, Tang Sheng, and others appeared at Azure Peace Peak.
They only said one thing, their tone slightly grave and worried:
"Yu Changqing... it's broken!"
At the same time.
The outer perimeter and the core of the Initial Land were almost driven to madness, all stunned by this explosive news.
Although everyone was prepared for Yu Changqing's breakthrough, they were still surprised when the day finally came.
"Dao Monarch at the second level... this person's strength is probably comparable to a true High-Rank Dao Monarch!!"
Ren Ran's breathing was somewhat heavy.
Once upon a time, she reigned supreme in the Ziwei Sacred Land, her brilliance unmatched in the mortal world. However, upon arriving at Initial Land, she was suppressed by various Fate Child, and in the same realm, two heaven- Chaos Dao Monarch simultaneously emerged.
As Female Monarch Samsara through countless lifetimes, she was invincible in certain eras, but now she can only watch as others stir up trouble.
Zhou Huang Xu Yuan appeared here.
They are all Fate Child, rarely concerned with the battles among the geniuses on the outside, but every time they appear, it is because of the Chaos Dao Monarch, either Jiang Ping or Yu Changqing, who is currently shaking the Initial Land.
When will my junior brother break through?
Xie Wen looked at the two Fate Child and asked respectfully.
Yu Changqing's breakthrough has indeed become a major threat, but the various factions are not without countermeasures.
Zhao Linkong, Fate Child Tathagata the Ziwei Sacred Land, was born to fulfill a calamity and was already Supreme Experts the sixth level of the Dao Monarch Lord realm. He had been in seclusion for more than half a year, aiming directly at the realm of the Monarch.
Xu Yuan said, "I'm still in seclusion, everything is going smoothly, and I'll probably break through soon."
"How long is 'soon'?"
Ren Ran couldn't help but ask.
She didn't have high hopes for the Grade-A Medicinal Fields a year later, but there were some Special Mystic Realms she had to fight for.
That secret realm was extraordinary; it contained a rare and precious Heavenly Medicine called "Heaven-Earth Spirit Root." If she could consume it, her potential and talent could rival that of Yu Xi.
Even picking a few other Daoist treasures would be enough to help her break through the second level of the Monarch.
Zhou Huang suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, before the Special Mystic Realm opens, Brother Lingkong will definitely be treated as the king of the mortal realm."
Azure Peace Peak.
Jiang Ping sipped the wonderful tea brewed by Daozhen Fairy and praised her excellent skills.
Daozhen remained silent, his expression filled with worry.
The other six also looked serious, clearly worried about Yu Changqing's breakthrough.
Compared to the relatively quiet Azure Peace Peak, Yu Mountain can be described as bustling.
Many outstanding talents came to visit, awaiting Yu Changqing's breakthrough.
Some came to make connections, while others wanted to join Yu Mountain's ranks directly.
The prodigy Yu Shen high in the main seat, taking in the fawning of the Monarch below. A slight smile played on his lips, and he felt a sense of pleasure.
"It would be truly satisfying if those seven men under Jiang Ping could rebel."
He suddenly had this idea and really wanted to see Jiang Ping's painful expression after being betrayed, so he immediately ordered someone to make it happen.
Next, Yu Shen took out a booklet containing information on the mature Dao Elixir from the Grade A Medicine Garden.
"Hmm, not bad. It actually contains a fragment of spiritual root, and its medicinal properties are even more potent than the three Potential Secret Medicines combined. It's very suitable for this young master."
"This is the Time Divine Flower; I will personally pick it and deliver it to Sister Xi when the time comes."
"Ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk, this is a rare item, even rare in Special Mystic Realms. Although I don't cultivate my body, I can collect it. Hmm, it's a rare commodity, and it can also be used to exchange for resources."
