Chapter 101: Harvested 10,000 Years of Mana, Ready to Break the Limits!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Though it had only been three years since these spiritual herbs were planted on his farm, the cave improved their growth by 100 folds, causing all of these herbs to look as if they had been growing for 300 years instead.

Top-grade spiritual herbs had a minimum maturity time of 100 years, and quite an amount had fully matured.

Jiang Ming harvested 10 Heavenly Hearts Orchids with a swift sleight of hand and stored and sealed them into a jade box to prevent any loss of its medicinal effects. Top-grade spiritual herbs were very precious, and even the sect could only produce a small amount of them.

As he continued harvesting different types of spiritual herbs, Jiang Ming could not stop smiling in euphoria, for he could continuously hear the system’s announcements about his harvest and the rewards he was awarded for them.

“Ding: Congratulations, master, on obtaining 10 portions of the top-grade spiritual herb, Heavenly Hearts Orchid. You are rewarded 1,000 years of cultivation and 1x Special Ability Bead!”

“Ding: Congratulations, master, on obtaining 7 portions of the top-grade spiritual herb, White Jaded Ginseng, You are rewarded 700 years of cultivation and a pair of top-grade Dao Vessels, the White Jaded Sparring Gloves.”

“Ding: Congratulations, master, on obtaining 32 portions of the top-grade spiritual herb, Thousand Festivals Grass. You are rewarded 3,200 years of cultivation and a set of top-grade Dao Vessels, a Combat Mannequin!”

“Ding: Congratulations, master, on obtaining 50 portions of the top-grade spiritual herb, Azure Ocean Emerald Sky Begonia Flower. You are rewarded 5,000 years of cultivation and a Pseudo Immortal Sword, the Soaring Feather Sword.”

Obtaining 100 years of cultivation for just one top-grade spiritual plant came as a surprise to Jiang Ming. It was already mind-blowing that he was rewarded with up to 9,900 years’ worth of cultivation and four other rare items, including a Pseudo Immortal Sword!

Though, it was a shame that all of the top-grade spiritual herbs were completely harvested.

“If the rewards from top-grade spiritual herbs were already so magnanimous, wait till my supreme-grade herbs or even the king-grade herbs mature completely!” Jiang Ming gasped in astonishment as he looked forward to his harvest.

Looking at the remaining spiritual herbs left, he could not help but feel a little dismayed.

Initially, Jiang Ming thought that he just had to provide enough spiritual essence for the spiritual herbs to grow. But reality hit hard on him when he found out the herbs’ seeds started to break through their membranes. They needed not only ample spiritual essence but also a special environment in order

for them to bud.

An example would be that Aurora Herb a stone’s throw away from him. That herb seed could only bud in an extremely cold environment.

Soon after these seeds started budding, Jiang Ming continued to monitor and discovered that none of the buds continued growing. Some of them even had signs of withering!

He was horrified and quickly asked around in the Supreme Chat Room to seek advice, only to realize that he had more work to do.

Jiang Ming started getting busy trying to prepare a suitable environment for the herbs and prepare a huge formation at the same time.

As if that was not enough, what ticked him off was when pests started appearing out of nowhere and started to endanger his herbs.

My goodness! How could there be pests if he had already sealed off the area!?

Jiang Ming summed it up to the herbs themselves. Maybe the heavens were jealous of the herbs, where the higher the herb’s grade, the more misfortune it would have to face. He had no choice but to check up on them every two to three days, but it was fortunate his harvest was abundant.

After collecting himself, Jiang Ming went up to the roof to relax. As he held onto the railings in the balcony, he set his gaze upon the vast mountains and rivers afar, enjoying the serenity.

Interestingly, Jiang Ming discovered that he was able to see numerous Dao fluctuations and Sambodha signs all across the mountains up to the skies. He could even vividly sense the orders of the world turning in sync.

As he lay onto the rattan chair, he naturally turned over to the side and paused for a while, shaking his head as he smiled upon realizing Zi Linglong wasn’t by her side.

“ve become so used to being with her. She left, and now I suddenly feel uneasy,” muttered Jiang Ming.

The next time Zi Linglong left the mountains, he would venture the world with her, climbing mountains and crossing rivers, enjoying the wonders of the world.

He took out the small bead he got as one of the rewards and gasped. “The Special Ability Bead can grant a person one special ability!”

Upon closer inspection, he was shocked to find out that if he imprinted a special ability into the bead, it would evoke the special ability once activated. There was a limit to the bead that it could only work with a special ability that did not surpass the human realm. It was still a good Dao Vessel,

nonetheless.

The White Jaded Sparring Gloves and the Soaring Feather Sword seemed to fit him perfectly, though he did not expect to get his hand on a Combat Mannequin type of Dao Vessel.

The Combat Mannequin’s exterior was as tough as a top-grade Dao Vessel, and it even had a simple ming of its own. Once fully merged with the mannequin, it could serve as a tool to protect himself.

A Combat Mannequin could even rival Extreme Path experts; defeating it would be difficult indeed.

Jiang Ming kept away the Combat Mannequin and flipped open the Human Path Record to check on Zi Linglong.

Reading her status, he discovered that Zi Linglong had arrived early to the God of Thunder’s Immortal Treasure’s gate and was patiently waiting for it to open. She got to know quite a handful of people; among them were Xi Yao, the Holy Daughter of the Riyue Sect, and even Lin Han, the Holy Son of the

Qingyun Sect.

“Lin Han!” Jiang Ming grinned as he had already sentenced him to death.

He then took a peek at his Master’s status and learned that this old man was sitting on top of Jiaoyang Peak, enjoying the Enlightening Tea with First Seat Yin Yue.

Jiang Ming looked toward the direction of Jiaoyang Peak and focused his consciousness through the void into the distance. He sensed that First Seat Yin Yue had already reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Realm and was not far from breaking through. On the other hand, Gu Hai, who had been

cultivating the Fire Dao Seed, had reached its pinnacle as well and could ascend into the Nascent Soul Realm anytime soon.

‘Twonder. When will this old man marry over First Seat Yin Yue? thought Jiang Ming.

He started imagining First Seat Yin Yue’s marriage where many of the Senior Sisters came over from Jiaoyang Peak, turning the mundane Chuyang Peak into a festival with so many pretty ladies.

“That doesn’t seem bad at all,’ thought Jiang Ming, scratching his lower chin.

He then looked over at First Seat Yue Cheng. This person was complex indeed. He was looking forward toward the Yinmo Sect to finally take over the Jiuyang Sect swiftly, saving him from all the anxious, sleepless nights.

Yet, at the same time, he was worried that the Yinmo Sect might end up like the Bishui Sect, where an unknown peerless expert obliterated them.

His heart, on the other hand, felt a sense of guilt, for he had been in the Jiuyang Sect for a long time, and he had already begun to grow fond of the place.

Pondering for a bit, Jiang Ming flipped over to check on Luo Heng, and his eyes lit up. He quickly returned to his underground cave and took out the Supreme Order. He then disappeared into the Supreme Pagoda in a stream of light.

He emerged on the third floor and checked his status.

Name: Jiang Ming

Cultivation Base: Level 5

Points Accumulated: 3 Points

Honor: 5 stages record, 18 levels record, 992 units of special abilities

‘When Jiang Ming saw the meager 3 points that he had left, he could not do much. He had a lot of accumulated points initially. After buying some stuff and cultivating at the Heavenly Monument and Dao Monument, he practically used up all the points he had accumulated thus far.

He turned over and saw Luo Heng, who had successfully set foot onto the 10th level of the Heavenly Ladder. Although he looked pale as he swayed around on stage drenched in a cold sweat, Luo Heng was finally able to steady himself.

“I’ve done it! Haha! It was a success! There’s really a special permission given for it!” Luo Heng laughed so loud that even tears of joy could be seen streaming down his face. Determined, he bit his lips and braced onward, lifting his feet to take the next step onto the 11th level. However, his body simply

quivered and disappeared from the 10th level, and reappeared at the bottom of the ladder. He failed to take on the 11th level!

“Brother Luo, congratulations to you!” said Jiang Ming as he paced through the air, clenching his fist in respect.

Luo Heng paused briefly before turning over with the biggest smile and yelling out, “Brother Jiang!”. He then quickly took a deep bow at Jiang Ming, thanking him. “Thanks a lot, Brother Jiang! If it weren’t for your guidance, I would’ve never been able to go up to the 11th level!”

“You owned it because of your strong physique,” answered Jiang Ming. “Quickly accept the special permission. Ye Qingxian has already entered the group.”

“Yeah, I knew that,” said Luo Heng as he pointed at the Stone Monument. High above on the Stone Monument, Ye Qingxian’s name could be seen engraved on the column, and it wasn’t the 1oth level but the 11th level instead. She was truly a formidable lady.

“We three joining the Supreme Chat Room from the same level in such a small time frame will surely be the talk among others.” Jiang Ming smiled. “Join the group now, and you’ll be surprised.”

“Sure!” Luo Heng nodded as he also couldn’t wait anymore.

After joining the Supreme Chat Room and receiving warm welcomes from the group members, they introduced themselves among each other and got to know what level of cultivation they were at and where they originated from.

Luo Heng was shocked, but what made him even flabbergasted was that Jiang Ming was the group admin. Moreover, he discovered that he could even trade among worlds in this group.

It took a while before Luo Heng finally came back to his senses, and the way he looked at Jiang Ming was no longer the same.

“Any thoughts?” asked Jiang Ming leisurely as he lifted his glass of wine.

“My comprehension of the Dao was enlightening!” exclaimed Luo Heng. “Who would’ve thought that above the geniuses, there’s the existence of the Supreme Chat Room? The group members here are the best of the best from numerous different worlds! And moreover, you are the group admin, rising to

the real pinnacle!”

“Tm now only at Level 5. Who knows what’s going to happen in the future?” said Jiang Ming as he waved it off and smiled cheekily at Luo Heng, “I have some spiritual herbs. Do you need any?”

“Of course,” Luo Hang answered swiftly without any hesitation.

Jiang Ming took out all the spiritual herbs that he had harvested with a simple wave and arranged them in order, each with their description written.

“These are all good stuff!” exclaimed Luo Heng as he rubbed his hands together. “What do you want to trade them for?”

“Energy crystals,” answered Jiang Ming immediately.

“Great! These here are origin crystals. They are formed from the crystallization of the Original Laws of the universe where I’m from. They are akin to the immortal crystal of the Immortal World. Would 10 pieces be enough?” said Luo Heng as he handed over the 10 origin crystals.

“That’s enough, Brother Luo. Thank you!”

“Haha, I should be the one thanking you,” replied Luo Heng.

“Well then. I’ll gladly take them,” said Jiang Ming, exhaling a breath of relief.

To him, the spiritual herbs might be precious, but their value was incomparable with these 10 origin crystals.

Luo Heng wanted to show that he meant well, and Jiang Ming gladly accepted the favor.

“Brother Jiang, you came here to continue to challenge the battle stage and climb up the Heavenly Ladder, right?” asked Luo Heng.

Jiang Ming nodded, replying, “Of course. But I’m worried you might be appalled.”

“Haha! I’ll wait and see if you can continue breaking the limits. You will help me set an even higher goal. I’m used to your surprises already. The more you surprise me, the stronger my will becomes.” Luo Heng laughed as he looked forward to seeing what Jiang Ming could achieve.

“Tl need to meditate for a bit before trying to challenge the Heaven Battle Stage and climb up the Heavenly Ladder,” said Jiang Ming. He then sat cross-legged there and refined an origin crystal, promoting the Chaos Dao Seed’s growth and filling up his consciousness with mana to the brim.

Time went by steadily, but Luo Heng was not in a rush. He occasionally took out his tablet to watch some short video clips or admire some pretty ladies. If not, he would try challenging at the Heaven Battle Stage or further sharpen his will at the Heavenly Ladder.

The routine continued daily until one day, Jiang Ming suddenly stood up.

“Brother Jiang, are you ready?” asked Luo Heng.

“Yes, I’m ready. I’ve mastered Level § now, the pinnacle of Level 5,” replied Jiang Ming, feeling energized.

“That’s great! What would it be? The Heaven Battle Stage or the Heavenly Ladder?” asked Luo Heng.

“The Heaven Battle Stage,” answered Jiang Ming as he walked toward the doorway of the battle stage.

‘When he looked up and gazed above, the space around him started trembling slightly as waves of empowering combat aura could be felt radiating off him.

Luo Heng, who was following him to the Heaven Battle Stage, couldn’t help but fall back 10 meters away before he could stand his ground against the tremendous aura Jiang Ming emitted.

“My God! You’re that crazy strong? I can’t even stand my ground against your battle aura! Are we really in the same cultivation realm!?’ thought Luo Heng in great disbelief.

The whole thing really took a toll on him as he started to question himself..
