Back on Chuyang Peak, Jiang Ming lay down as he contemplated his upcoming plans. He had only just returned from the Hong Clan in the Chaos Primordial Land.

While he was there, he and Hong Lei had a discussion about Dao, which allowed him to have a more systematic and complete understanding of the Chaos Realm. He now had ample understanding of the Chaos Primordial Land as well.

There were eight Chaos Experts who were widely known in the Chaos Primordial Land, but there were three others who weren’t made known. If Jiang Ming was to be counted as well, there were a total of twelve Chaos Experts.

Hong Lei said that this was a great thing. After all, with more peerless experts around, the safety of the Chaos Primordial Land would be more secure.

“Alas, the Sea of Chaos. Even Hong Lei didn’t know their exact number.” Jiang Ming lamented.

Although he had long known that there were many Sea of Chaos, the fact that Hong Lei didn’t know how many there were, was very strange. After all, Hong Lei was an ancient peerless existence. Overlooking the entire Sea of Chaos, there would probably be no secrets that could be hidden from him.

Yet, even Hong Lei didn’t know the exact number of Sea of Chaos. He only knew nine of them.

‘Being of the Chaos Realm is still not safe.’ Jiang Ming continued to ponder to himself.

Hong Lei had told him that there used to be Chaos Experts, who were killed in the past. Although it was somewhat unbelievable, it really happened before.

‘It’s still safer for me to keep a low profile.’ Jiang Ming had originally intended to go forth into the Chaos Primordial Land but had to put this thought aside for the time being.

After the discussion of Dao with Hong Lei, Jiang Ming went over to the library of Hong Clan. It was when he reached the library that Jiang Ming finally knew the term “sea of books”. The library was an incomparably huge pavilion, but the interior of it was even bigger.

The first level was already a chiliocosm itself. The books were counted in the trillions. Even for a person like him, Jiang Ming couldn’t even see every one of the books in a single glance.

The collection contained all kinds of knowledge and information of infinite realms and the Civilization Dao. It was definitely a huge treasure to Hong Yi, who was taking on the path of Civilization Dao.

The second level was also a chiliocosm, which contained countless secret methods and powerful cultivation techniques.

The third level however, had only millions of books, where each book had transformed itself into a star. This was a collection of various special techniques and abilities of the Chaos Primordial Land from the ancient times up till the present. Each book would create a huge uproar if it was to be made public.

It was just as Hong Lei’s remarks, for experts who had reached a stage such as themselves, the cultivation techniques and special abilities were all of not much use to them. What was useful was the comprehension of the Chaos Laws.

Jiang Ming browsed through all of the books before finally heading back.

‘This trip was a huge harvest to me!’ Jiang Ming couldn’t help but lament to himself.

Right then, a large part of his subconscious mind was deciphering the knowledge that he had gained and rapidly turning them into his own accumulation. They were processed as his wisdom, his wealth and further on, into sustenance to him.

At the same time, Jiang Ming was also deducing the next evolution towards his inner world. Whilst he was doing so, he suddenly turned his gaze over in the direction of the heavenly ladder.

There was a young man that had ascended onto the pinnacle there.

“Interesting!”

As Jiang Ming focused his gaze, he backtracked that young man and checked through his past before sighing emotionally.

This person was named Fengyun Wuji. He wasn’t of the Jiuyang Peak but rather an ordinary disciple under the jurisdiction of the sect. He followed the cultivation techniques and worked his way up one step at a time.

After the youth had stepped into the Immortal realm, he entered the forty-nine spatial world and wandered through them. He faced countless dangers, but also obtained various great fortunes. He grew at a solid pace one step at a time before his soul finally advanced into the Saint Realm. Even his comprehension capability was amazing.

Jiang Ming reached out and grabbed hold of him. With that Fengyun Wuji was brought over to him.

Fengyun Wuji was stunned at first. However, when he saw Jiang Ming who was laying on the rattan chair, he was in a slight trance before revealing a look of excitement. He immediately kneeled down to pay homage. “Saint Lord, greetings to you!”

“Stand up!” Jiang Ming let the youth stand back up as he looked at him up and down. He couldn’t help but nod. “Not bad. You’re of the ordinary background, yet you are able to surpass the others of your realm. Your will has advanced into the Saint Realm,and your soul has transformed. You’re just like me back then, going through evolution one step at a time. This is what a true genius should be.”

“Fengyun Wuji, are you willing to become my disciple?”

Jiang Ming sat himself up.

“It’s my honor!” Fengyun Wuji was even more excited as he hurriedly knelt down. “Greetings, Master!”

“Haha! Good! You are now my eldest disciple.” Jiang Ming was quite happy himself. “Although you haven’t been through much, you have wandered through various dangerous places. Your will is firm and your cultivation realm is still somewhat acceptable, so there will no longer be the need to test you. As for your cultivation techniques…”

After slightly pondering, Jiang Ming pointed his finger and a black dot appeared right in front of them. It then turned into a streak of luminance, expanding abruptly to a mere one meter radius of size.

On the inside however, a rapid evolution was taking place.

The Chaos was opened up as elements of earth, fire, wind and water gushed through. The elements rinsed through the area, clearing the turbidity before turning the place into a world itself. Swiftly after, books began to materialize one after another within the world.

In just a blink of an eye, there were already trillions and trillions of books within. They were divided into the different categories, namely the mortals, Immortals, Saints and the likes.

“The books here include most of the knowledge of the entire Sea of Chaos, as well as countless special abilities, cultivation techniques and many more. For your cultivation, you can make your own decision. My advice would be for you to read more and accumulate more.”

As Jiang Ming said so, he waved his hand and a ball of light fell onto the back of the mountain, creating a pagoda. On top of it, the signage of “Library” appeared.

“I’ve evoked a special ability which allows a person to keep himself in the ethereal state at all times. This will help with absorbing knowledge and information.”

“It also reversed and altered time to the ratio of one to ten thousand. This will be the norm.”

“Moreover, I will create another armory and put various Saint Weapons in it. Following that, you can personally choose three weapons from within for your own protection.”

As Jiang Ming waved his hand again, an armory appeared right next to the library, where he placed various Saint Weapons in it.

Fengyun Wuji, who was watching all of this unfolding before him, was in great shock. He also understood that the great Dao had opened a path for him.

“You are my eldest disciple after all, so these are still insufficient.” Jiang Ming pondered and continued, “Now we aren’t lacking in cultivation techniques and Dao vessels, and I wouldn’t need to be worried about your tempering as well. In that case, I’ll bestow you with a supreme constitution.”

As Jiang Ming raised his palm, he patted down on top of Fengyun Wuji’s head.

Boom… With a deafening explosion, Fengyun Wuji’s physique exploded abruptly, turning into a sky full of blood mist. However, his soul remained intact and complete, without the slightest change.

Jiang Ming took out a crystal, probed a streak of green luminance into the blood mist and proceeded to evoke a special ability to restructure his physical body.

A few moments later, a grand new body of Fengyun Wuji appeared.

Jiang Ming didn’t stop there. He raised his hand, pressed onto Fengyun Wuji to merge his soul into Fengyun Wuji and evoked the supreme special ability to fit Fengyun Wuji’s soul and physique perfectly.

“How do you feel?” Jiang Ming stopped, looked at his eldest disciple and asked.

“Powerful! It’s too powerful!” Fengyun Wuji sensed the changes towards his body and revealed a look of surprise on his face. “Although my cultivation realm remains the same, yet I feel that my foundation has been improved more than a thousand folds. My Qi and blood are boiling through like the sea of stars. Master, what kind of physique is this? This is beyond imagination! It’s too incredible!”

“This is the Chaos Daoist Body.” Jiang Ming smiled as he said, “Even when ranked within the Chaos Primordial Land, this physique is still the best of them all. Only your master with such supreme cultivation and also in possession of such a rare treasure of creation that made it possible to create such a physique for you. Wuji, you are my eldest disciple, so you must not be weak from now on. You are required to uphold your master’s pride high.”

“I will not let you down, master!” Fengyun Wuji knelt down yet again.

Jiang Ming merely waved his hand and continued, “From now on, you are allowed to wander anywhere here with the exception of my residence. Now go over to Jiuyang’s main hall to register yourself. Following that, do pay respect to your grand master, the sect leader and the other First Seats. Don’t forget your manners. You may go now.”

“Yes, master!” Fengyun Wuji retreated.

Jiang Ming stretched his back. Now that he had one disciple, would the remaining nine even be far away? Definitely not!

If it were to be the normal development, Jiang Ming was afraid that it would take a very long time to go. However, with the various tests and great fortunes available, it became relatively much easier.”

‘Just wait till I take in ten disciples and lead them into the Saint Realm. Who knows what kind of rewards there will be?’ Jiang Ming was looking forward to it.

After resting for a moment, Jiang Ming entered the exclusive cultivation space within the Supreme Pagoda with just a thought.

He needed to accumulate further. After all, he had already taken in a huge amount of knowledge and his foundation was already ample.

Within the exclusive cultivation space, Jiang Ming raised his finger and pointed, creating a bed in the middle. As he lay down on the bed, he began to sort himself out, allowing his knowledge to be digested into wisdom.

Especially regarding the ideas about the evolution of the worlds, Jiang Ming comprehended them one after another. Based on the situation of the Sea of Chaos and also the evolution of the World Tree, he deduced what to do next to improve his inner world of great chiliocosm.

Time had been passing by slowly within the exclusive cultivation space. It took a whole hundred thousand years before Jiang Ming was able to truly determine how his inner world should be evolving next.

‘Now that I’m sure of it, let’s just begin! Once my inner world evolves, I’ll be able to control the 3,000 Chaos Laws inside out. By then, I may be able to try peeking into the realm above the Chaos.”

As these thoughts went through Jiang Ming’s mind, he began his cultivation once again.
