"If you want me to fight an Imperial Lord of the Immortal Dao, at least let me become a True Disciple of a Sect-tier Dharma Lineage. He enjoys the reverence of all beneath heaven in White Jade Capital, while I work myself to death in the Merit Oversight Court."
A quarter past the beginning of Mao Hour the next day, barely at first light, Jiang Yi was already up. Draped in the Black Shadow Robe, he stood beside the Cavern and began suppressing the Bing Fire Qi spilling out.
No wonder the Inner Peaks disciples dreaded even hearing the words "Merit Oversight Court."
They considered taking a post there tantamount to severing their Dao Path, with no chance of ever turning things around.
Yesterday, after Cat Master revealed the Nourishment Dao Embryo Nurturing and Essence-Hiding Art, Jiang Yi had used Supplicating the Heavenly Book to analyze its key points, easily gaining entry-level mastery and condensing the rudimentary form of a Dao Embryo.
Even though the Bing Fire Qi had grown fiercer because the Imperial Lord of the Immortal Dao was touring the heavens aboard the sun, he had still devoured and refined every last trace.
Yet only a few hours later, another blazing pillar of Flame Light surged skyward from the Cavern, staining the first fish-belly white of the horizon crimson.
Clearly, suppressing the Fire Cavern and Water Grotto was indeed an endless, grueling toil that wore a person down.
"This demonic cavern is rooted deep within the Dharma Lineage. Who knows how many disciples have been thrown in as expendable materials over the past century?"
Jiang Yi released his rudimentary Dao Embryo. His body, coated in a faint jade sheen, rumbled. The boiling Qi and Blood erupting from his flesh alone surged like a mighty river, fierce and unstoppable.
