Fellow Travelers

After leaving the Great Void Illusion Realm, Jiang Wang had climbed to seventy-first place in the Inner Palace rankings on the Sword Discussion Platform over the past few days. It wouldn't be long before he could face Zuo Guangshu again in a ranked match.

With his current Divine Soul strength, he could explore his Inner Palace much more quickly. His Second Inner Palace had already surpassed three hundred, and he had uncovered two secret treasures there. Neither had been to his liking, so he'd let them pass without a second thought.

Another way to increase his strength in a short time was to inscribe an instant-cast Daoist Art in his Second Inner Palace.

Each Inner Palace offered just one chance to inscribe an instant-cast Daoist Art. Most experts wouldn't choose an art that too many people already knew. When making this choice, "rare" was better than "powerful."

No matter how powerful a Daoist Art was, if too many people studied it, someone might find a way to break it.

Earlier, when Jiang Wang had formed the Greater and Lesser Celestial Circuits in his Heaven-Connecting Palace, he'd inscribed Flame Flower and Five-Qi Tiger Binding, one given to him by Dong A and the other by Chongxuan Sheng. Back then, he'd had few resources. When faced with premium Daoist Arts, how could he afford to be picky?

But Jiang Wang had grown rapidly since then, becoming stronger at a steady, swift pace. Gradually, he'd earned the right to be choosy.

In addition to gaining a new source of power within the body, each time one opened an Inner Palace, one could inscribe another instant-cast Daoist Art.
