After that...
The plot seemed to have suddenly returned to its proper course.
Jiang Ming had gone to the Realm Tomb and had not returned, making no appearance for over a year.
Meanwhile, Shi Hao was preparing to break through to the Void Dao Realm at the Celestial God Academy, but he was following the path of Self as the Seed.
Years earlier, he had obtained a Cosmic Embryo, a truly supreme seed unmatched throughout heaven and earth.
However, he did not intend to merge with this Cosmic Embryo. Instead, he would enter it and use himself as the seed, letting the Cosmic Embryo nurture him as though he were an Innate Deity.
It had to be said that this method of transformation resembled Jiang Ming's Great Freedom Dao Scripture.
Over these years in the mysterious Realm Tomb, Jiang Ming had been undergoing the baptism of Tribulation Punishment, even though he had not combined his method with the universe's Heavenheart Seal to truly spread it far and wide.
Nevertheless, he had still pioneered an incomparably formidable cultivation method.
These days, Jiang Ming had mainly been helping Di Yourong cultivate the Current Era Method. Times had changed, and cultivating only an ancient method was no longer enough for her.
As it happened, Jiang Ming had plenty of creative ideas when it came to the Current Era Method.
After entering the Supreme Realm, Di Yourong could not advance rapidly in the short term. However, if she achieved success in cultivating the Current Era Method, it would add another layer to her combat strength.
That day, Jiang Ming finally completed a baptism of the Great Dao.
It had taken a year and a half in total.
That was already remarkably fast. There were simply too many benefits and opportunities in the Realm Tomb.
