Ten years later!
Ten years was neither long nor short for Jiang Ming. Fortunately, he had gotten his first taste of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
As it turned out, his self-created Great Freedom Dao Scripture had been the first to break through, ultimately bringing him into this realm. That really was an unexpected delight.
The instant Jiang Ming broke through to Daluo Golden Immortal, more scenes surfaced in his memories. Some showed him becoming Wutian Buddha, while others were fragments from a far more distant past. Rahu had been one of the ten highest-ranked demon gods in Chaos.
"O Great Dao above, today I, Rahu, shall transform this broken body of mine into the Demon Realm. From this day forth, when the Dao waxes, demons shall wane; when the Dao wanes, demons shall wax."
Jiang Ming opened his eyes, Dao resonance flowing throughout his body. This breakthrough had taken a full hundred years.
The main reason was that his Inner Heaven and Earth had been transforming into a Great Thousand World. His physical body had also been growing, transforming toward the body of a Quasi-Saint-in other words, a body comparable to the Sacrificial Dao level.
And so, without meaning to, he had slept for a hundred years.
A hundred years had passed. Outside, the scenery remained, but the people had long since changed.
One thing was certain, though: the things Jiang Ming had done earlier had not been in vain.
To resist the Western Teachings, the Monkey King, Son Goku, had gone to Heaven to become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Meanwhile, Jiang Ming had somehow ended up becoming Marshal Tianpeng.
Every day, Monkey slept and cultivated in the Great Sage Equal to Heaven's Residence, ignoring everything else.
It was all for the sake of avoiding the tribulation.
