This was the fire of attainment Jiang Wang had forged with his own body as the furnace.
The thirteen fiends of the seven emotions and six desires burned into a supreme true Dharma that belonged to him alone—
What could represent the mortal world better than flames of such ultimate feeling and desire?
Jiang Wang knew full well that in a battle of Transcendence, all he could do was beat the drums from the sidelines. But if the drums were beaten well, sometimes a single strike could settle the final note!
He had come swiftly.
For the mortal world and the Heavenly Sea represented the human path and the Celestial Path—the only two things he could affect in this struggle on the level of Transcendence.
His greatest gift was always doing the very best he could with whatever lay within his power.
And that was the benefit of traveling alongside Chongxuan Zun—
Whatever battle intent you harbored, whatever decision you wished to make, this man could offer the most perfect cooperation. No communication was needed at all.
Dou Zhao's martial talent was no less than Chongxuan Zun's, but joining hands with him simply did not feel the same. Chongxuan Zun could always make the most appropriate choice; if one measure of strength would suffice, he would never use two. Dou Zhao, however, was more self-centered most of the time... He wanted to be the one to strike the final note, even when he was not the best fit for it!
The instant Jiang Wang moved, Chongxuan Zun moved as well. By the time Jiang Wang charged out of Purple Bamboo Grove, Chongxuan Zun had already carved out a path.
