Giving Tang Wanjing Strong Aid

That day, at dusk.

Tang Wanjing carefully dressed herself up, her whole person alluringly beautiful as a demoness; anyone who saw her would be unable to stop their thoughts from wandering.

"Mm, Young Master is young. He probably has never experienced matters between men and women. In a while, I must take the initiative."

"Dressed like this... is it too revealing? Will it make Young Master dislike me?"

"No. A woman like me is exactly the kind young boys find hardest to resist."

As Tang Wanjing calculated this, she gently pushed open Jiang Feng's door.

"You're here." Jiang Feng sat cross-legged on the bed. With his divine sense released at all times, he naturally could see Tang Wanjing come in.

Tang Wanjing froze. She had already been very quiet, but she had not expected Young Master to discover her anyway.

Through his divine sense, Jiang Feng naturally saw everything clearly.

However, divine sense had one characteristic: it could see through everything.

So Jiang Feng had not noticed Tang Wanjing's clothes and makeup before this. Because whether Tang Wanjing was wearing anything or not, in his eyes it was all the same—her entire form appeared from every angle with no blind spots. Unless he deliberately paid attention to what Tang Wanjing was wearing.

Jiang Feng opened his eyes and immediately saw Tang Wanjing's bewitchingly alluring attire.

"Oh..." Jiang Feng froze. He was no inexperienced fledgling who had never seen the world. Although he was only fourteen in this life, in his previous one he had lived over thirty years as an old hand of the rivers and lakes. What sort of scene had he not seen?

"Do you usually dress like this?" Jiang Feng asked.

Tang Wanjing walked up to Jiang Feng's bed, lowered her head, and said charmingly, "In reply to Young Master, I wonder if Young Master has heard this saying: a woman adorns herself for the one who delights in her. Heehee..."

As soon as Jiang Feng heard that, he immediately understood—Tang Wanjing had completely misunderstood.

"Ahem..." Jiang Feng gave a dry cough. "You've misunderstood. I called you here not to have you serve me in bed, but because I have something for you."

Saying it directly would be awkward for the moment, but it was still better than letting the misunderstanding continue.

Tang Wanjing was also an old hand of the rivers and lakes. She only froze for a moment before dissolving the awkwardness with a light laugh and a single sentence: "It seems this subordinate was indulging in wishful thinking. However, if Young Master has need of it, this subordinate does not mind..."

Jiang Feng chuckled. "We'll talk about that later."

"I have two books here. Take them and comprehend them. They can help you raise your strength." As Jiang Feng spoke, he handed over two books.

Tang Wanjing immediately took them. She had not expected Jiang Feng to raise her strength so quickly, when she had not even done anything yet.

"Handle matters well for me. If your performance is good, I will have you break through to the Heaven Martial Realm within one year."

"What?" Tang Wanjing froze. "Within one year... break through to the Heaven Martial Realm?"

Jiang Feng nodded. "You and Ouyang Ke have steeped yourselves in the Earth Martial Realm for a long time. Your foundations are extremely solid. Breaking through to the Heaven Martial Realm only requires an opportunity, perhaps a bit of enlightenment."

"Many thanks, Young Master!" Tang Wanjing was so excited she could hardly contain herself, and immediately knelt in worship.

Although her strength stood unmatched in the Earth Martial Realm, and she was ranked on the Earth Ranking—even able to exchange a few moves with ordinary Heaven Martial Realm cultivators—

Precisely because of that, the temptation of the Heaven Martial Realm was all the greater to her.

"All right, go on. I'm going into seclusion. If there is nothing important, do not let anyone disturb me."

"Yes!" Carrying an excited mood, Tang Wanjing withdrew.

What Jiang Feng had given her was naturally the mental cultivation method tailor-made for her, as well as his improvements to and insights into Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin. With this, Tang Wanjing would possess strength no inferior to Ouyang Ke.

In other words, before long, under him, Jiang Feng, there would be two true experts standing at the peak of the Earth Ranking.

When others nurtured a force, they relied on digging up talent; but he, Jiang Feng, relied on cultivating them himself.

Even people of average aptitude could shine brilliantly in his hands!

Of course, Ouyang Ke and Tang Wanjing were already extraordinary figures to begin with. Jiang Feng was merely adding flowers to brocade for them.

And this caused Jiang Feng no loss whatsoever.

In fact, during the process of helping Ouyang Ke and Tang Wanjing improve their martial techniques and create mental cultivation methods, Jiang Feng himself had also benefited greatly.

First of all, whether it was Ouyang Ke's Unrestrained Blade or Tang Wanjing's Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, he had already comprehended their deepest profundities. The current him could execute these two martial techniques with ease.

In addition, through grasping the mysteries of the energy circulation within these martial techniques, he constantly improved the martial technique he himself had created.

All of this was of enormous benefit to the improvement of Jiang Feng's strength.

Cultivation in the Heaven Martial Realm focused mainly on the simultaneous progress of the physical body and energy.

When the Earth Martial Realm broke through to the Heaven Martial Realm, a vortex of energy would form within the dantian.

This vortex of energy was formed from energy combined with certain mysterious powers. When Jiang Feng broke through, he had perceived those mysterious powers for a moment.

That power was hidden within space, as if something had been born from nothing, concealing boundless mysteries.

However, he did not know what that power was. When he prepared to carefully perceive it, that power had hidden itself away again.

At that time, he had let it go, because he knew that if even the strength of his soul could not perceive it, that meant this power was not something he could easily grasp—or rather, not something a martial artist of his realm could grasp.

The formation of the dantian energy vortex meant that energy would be automatically generated within his body in an endless stream.

This generation did not require him to deliberately breathe and circulate to form it. Instead, the vortex itself communicated with the outside world through that inexplicable power and formed it. If he deliberately urged the vortex to rotate, then the speed at which energy formed would become extremely terrifying.

In other words, a Heaven Martial Realm martial artist's internal energy was practically endless!

As Heaven Martial Realm martial artists continued cultivating, what they needed was to increase the scale of their cyclones and the strength of their qi force.

Cultivation of the physical body was even more profound and mysterious.

Heaven Martial Realm martial artists would temper their bodies to the mortal world's utmost limit. If they took one more step beyond that limit, they would transcend the mundane and shed the mortal, leap beyond the dust of the world, reach the Transcendental Spirit Realm, and become a life-form that had truly risen above mortality.

That was true transcendence from the common world of dust and smoke!

It was the realm every Heaven Martial Realm expert dreamed of attaining!

Jiang Feng's physical cultivation in the Heaven Martial Realm was the third level of the Golden Body of the Wisdom King. Once he completed the third level of the Golden Body of the Wisdom King, it would signify that his physical body had reached the mortal world's utmost limit.

According to the records, Emperor Longxiang had spent six hundred and eighty years cultivating the third level of the Golden Body of the Wisdom King, taking nearly ten times as long as the second level. Jiang Feng calculated it for himself; if it were him, he should be able to accomplish it within two months.

"Two months to reach the peak of the Heaven Martial Realm. That's enough!"

Jiang Feng pondered inwardly.

He had taken three days to cultivate the first level of the Golden Body of the Wisdom King, turning from an ordinary person into a martial artist.

He had taken seven days to cultivate the second level of the Golden Body of the Wisdom King, crossing the Black Martial Realm and reaching the Earth Martial Realm.

He had taken thirteen days to break through from the Earth Martial Realm to the Heaven Martial Realm.

After carefully calculating it, the time he had spent on cultivation was actually less than a month!

In less than a month, he had achieved so much. To be honest, even he himself felt it was a little monstrous.

This was the benefit of cultivating the Sutra of Observing Heaven and Eternal Treasures. The strength of his soul gave him an advantage in cultivation that no one could match.

The qi force of Heaven Martial Realm martial artists was astonishingly powerful, its might even greater than ordinary weapons.

When Jiang Feng killed Bai Wanli, he had turned his qi force into a long spear and taken Bai Wanli's life directly.

Bai Wanli, who had evil arts at his side, possessed extraordinary physical strength. Even if Ouyang Ke had struck with the full force of Unrestrained Blade, he might not have been able to wound him in the slightest.

Yet the moment Jiang Feng made his move, a single strike pierced through Bai Wanli's chest. From this, one could see just how great the strength and power of Heaven Martial Realm qi force were.

Of course, the fact that Jiang Feng's qi force was so powerful was inseparably tied to his own strength.

An ordinary Heaven Martial Realm martial artist could not possibly possess such terrifying power.

Just as with the Earth Martial Realm, even with the same cultivation level, strength could still differ as vastly as heaven and earth.

It was like people being people all the same, yet some could become tycoons wealthy enough to rival nations, while others were destined only for ordinariness.

Of course, the truly strong were, after all, the rare few among the few.

Heaven Martial Realm martial artists were already scarce to begin with, and the strong among them were naturally even fewer.

On this day, the blazing sun hung high, and Zhushan Town gradually returned to peace.

An ordinary little town had stood for a time on the tip of the wind and the crest of the waves because of Jiang Feng's appearance, but in the end, it still had to return to ordinariness.

However, the appearance of a Triple-A Flying Boat made the peaceful little town boil over once more.
