After breaking through the barrier, Jiang Ping rested briefly and intended to consume the few remaining Dao Elixir. However, at this point, he felt physically and mentally exhausted and could no longer eat.
"The obstacles to breaking through this time are more obvious than before."
Jiang Ping muttered to himself, as if he understood the difficulties others faced, realizing that time was needed to overcome drug resistance.
Moreover, it takes a long time; it may be more than a year before medication can be taken again, or even two years.
The Turtle Shell remained silent after hearing this. Two years is a long time?
It did not open its mouth; compared to the drug resistance of the passes, Jiang Ping's biggest shortage was still resources.
Now that he is Mid-Rank Monarch, many Dao Elixir have little effect on him, so he needs the top-tier supplements.
However, these kinds of Dao Elixir are all grown in fields of Grade A or higher, and they have a long maturation period. The next harvest of Grade-A Medicinal Field will be many years away.
"Aren't there Special Mystic Realm? It's said that even ancestral medicines can be found inside."
Jiang Ping said.
The Initial Land is the last remaining treasure of the Xuanhuang World. It not only possesses a large amount of resources that are effective for Dao Monarch, but also mythical treasures that can help Dao Ancestor cultivate.
People like Xie Lingxu of the Dao Alliance and Zhao Linkong of the Ziwei Sacred Land are stockpiling these kinds of medicines so that they can continue to rapidly improve their abilities after breaking through to the Dao Monarch Realm.
The Turtle Shell said, "Let's not think about these things for now. The nearest Special Mystic Realm won't open for several years."
"By the way, Ancestral Artifact is supposed to see you soon, so be prepared."
In fact, the Xuanhuang Ancestral Artifact had planned to make its appearance more than a month ago, but Jiang Ping suddenly had an epiphany at that time, which is why it has been delayed until now.
Jiang Ping remained calm and nodded slightly.
He naturally understood that the beings of that level were seeing him for the purpose of "Reverse Effect into Cause"—if Fate Child could master this chapter, the possibility of the Ancestral Realm would be much higher.
Suddenly, Jiang Ping seemed to remember something and smiled. He began to look forward to this meeting.
Soon after he emerged from seclusion, his seven friends, who had been eagerly awaiting his arrival, rushed over upon hearing the news.
"Is everything going smoothly?"
Fang Xin couldn't help but ask.
The Chaos Body is extraordinary, and breaking through it is by no means easy. She was quite worried that something might go wrong with it.
Tang Sheng laughed and said, "My brother's skill is evident from the first move; how could anything go wrong?"
Jiang Ping looked at Fang Xin and Xiao Ran in front of him and said:
"Don't worry about me. It's you lot who should be breaking through to the Dao Monarch realm."
Although he could dominate the Initial Land, it wouldn't be right if his subordinates were too incompetent.
Moreover, he will be residing in the core area from now on, and will be unable to interfere in matters on the periphery.
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I will soon break through the Supreme Barrier."
Yun Shuang said.
She was already close to breaking through, but after taking the Innate Grand Medicine during this period, her breakthrough was much faster, and she is expected to reach the Dao Monarch Realm within a few months.
"We'll be there soon too."
Li Li also said.
She followed Jiang Ping and obtained several Potential Secret Medicine many Monarch coveted but could not acquire. Her innate talent was almost at a monstrous level, and her cultivation progressed much faster.
Tang Sheng exclaimed excitedly, "If I visit the Grade-A Medicinal Field two more times, I'll be a monster-level prodigy!"
This was something he never dared to dream of before; following Jiang Ping, he could truly ascend to heaven.
Jiang Ping nodded without saying anything more, then looked at Jiang Yourong.
Of the eight people present, only he was the Monarch.
Jiang Yourong had a flawless face, delicate skin, and bright, sparkling eyes. She pursed her red lips and said softly:
"I have broken through the barrier and established myself at the second level of the Monarch."
Upon hearing this, the other companions' expressions changed slightly. This goddess of fate was breaking through at an impressive speed, and her aptitude might be approaching that of Ren Ran and Xie Wen.
Daozhen's beautiful eyes sparkled, revealing a hint of seriousness.
Jiang Ping remained calm. Few people walk the path of destiny, and few compete for such resources. Below him, this person had obtained the most Dao Elixir, so his breakthrough was to be expected.
He said, "Keep up the good work. From now on, you'll be in charge of the peripheral matters."
Afterwards, the eight men discussed philosophy over wine, drinking heartily until dawn.
The following morning, before my friend had even left, people had already arrived at the core area.
"Brother Jiang... accommodations have been prepared for you over there."
The visitor was none other than Long Zhan, the older brother of Long Ye, the son of Fate Child.
He had met Jiang Ping when he inspected the core medicinal fields in the past. He was very cautious at the time, which is why he escaped danger twice.
Although he hadn't been physically beaten, he was still shaken by Jiang Ping's "brutality," and his former arrogance vanished when he spoke. Even when facing Fang Xin Xiao Ran, whose strength was weaker, he remained humble.
He didn't dare to meet the gaze of the True Saint Tang Sheng.
Tang Sheng said, "I remember that even the core residences are divided into different grades. Which grade does my brother Jiang's residence belong to?"
"First Class."
Long Zhan was trembling with fear, not daring to offend the junior repairman, and obediently answered.
Soon after, Jiang Ping was led by Long Zhan to the core area.
As for Azure Peace Peak on the outer perimeter, it was given to Jiang Yourong, the strongest among them, to reside in.
Boom!
The clouds and fog in the core area burst open, causing a Celestial Phenomenon upheaval.
This was a terrifying sight caused by the crossing of Mid-Rank Monarch. Although Jiang Ping tried his best to suppress it, he merged with heaven and earth, commanded all things, and every word and action could affect the general trend of heaven and earth.
Most of the Monarch living here were startled and couldn't help but look up.
Some people cast scrutinizing glances, seemingly wanting to confirm whether Jiang Ping had truly established himself at the intermediate level.
"Undoubtedly, he's reached that level too!"
Zhou Huang looked at the various scenes that suddenly appeared in the distance, her expression somewhat complicated.
She revered the Fate Child, breaking record after record, and established herself as Mid-Rank Dao Monarch at the age of less than a hundred.
Who would have thought that the Chaos Body, Dao Path is considered the most difficult, could achieve this level of accomplishment, even though she was not much older than her? The extent of her extraordinary abilities is unimaginable.
Is there anyone in this world who can keep him in check?
Ling Qinghe murmured.
Xie Lingxu originally revered the emperors of the mortal realm, gave her hope, but Jiang Ping rose to power at an incredible speed, transforming himself into Mid-Rank Monarch.
"Jiang Ping!"
Lin Zhizhen called out excitedly, and beside her, the Heavenly Maiden Zhong Shenxiu smiled and waved to Jiang Ping.
Jiang Ping nodded in acknowledgment and was about to walk over when suddenly he turned around and saw three suns appearing on the horizon.
No, to be more precise, they were a pair of blinding eyes, flowing with countless strands of divine light, extremely hot and terrifying.
"Xie Lingxu..."
Fate Child Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow. Without a doubt, the two people before him were the most terrifying in this era: one was the Chaos Dao Monarch, and the other was the first monarch of later generations.
With a deafening roar, a colossal hand pierced through the dome, its Dao Light surging like a vast, boiling sea, instantly engulfing those eyes.
Jiang Ping stared at him. "I dislike others acting so superior."
Everyone: "..."
The core area was in an uproar. Were the two strongest opponents going to clash in this way?
Ultimately, this did not happen. Xie Lingxu lowered his gaze, and Jiang Ping also stopped in time.
He's moving to a new house today, and he doesn't want to see blood for the time being.
However, this scene still left many people stunned and somewhat shocked.
"Damn... powerful."
"He said he'd do it, and he did it without a word."
"Damn it, stay far away from him in the future. Never make an enemy of him, or you might not even get a chance to speak."
Many of the Fate Child sternly warned their subordinates not to offend this one.
See you tomorrow, Xiao Geng.
