Chapter 744 Punished by the Will of the Great Dao
Jiang Wang quickly composed himself, pretending to be timid. He stood up, bowed, and said respectfully, "This junior, Tu Xiaonai, greets the two masters."
Greetings, esteemed masters.
Xuanzang smiled gently, put his hands together, and said with a touch of compassion, "Benefactor, there is no need for such formalities. This humble monk is Xuanzang. This is my Dharma protector, Master Huiming."
"Seeing you cultivating here alone, I presume you've come to the Great Dao Secret Realm to absorb the power of the Great Dao's origin and enhance your cultivation?"
"That's right, Master."
Jiang Wang nodded, lowered his head, and pretended to be timid. His tone was respectful. "This junior is dull-witted and has low cultivation. I can only cultivate quietly here. I hope to improve my cultivation as soon as possible and live up to this opportunity to enter the Great Dao Secret Realm."
Master Huiming looked Jiang Wang up and down, his eyes scrutinizing him, his tone steady: "Which realm do you come from, benefactor? Why are you cultivating here alone? Most other cultivators travel in groups, looking out for each other. If you encounter danger alone, you may not be able to protect yourself."
Jiang Wang's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Replying to Master, I come from the Auspicious Chaos Realm. Because of my dull aptitude and low cultivation, no cultivator is willing to travel with me. Therefore, I can only cultivate here alone."
I know that being alone in danger would leave me vulnerable, so I have always been extremely cautious, never daring to be reckless or venture into dangerous areas.
Xuanzang's face showed a hint of pity, and his tone was filled with compassion: "Amitabha, benefactor, there is no need to feel inferior. Being dull-witted is not something that cannot be changed. As long as you devote yourself to cultivation and do good, one day you will be able to improve your cultivation and become a powerful figure."
"If you don't mind, why not cultivate together with this humble monk and Master Huiming? We can look after each other, and if you encounter any danger, Master Huiming and I can lend a hand."
Jiang Wang was startled and quickly shook his head, his tone tinged with urgency: "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I appreciate it."
However, I am of dull talent and have low cultivation level. If I were to cultivate with you two masters, I would probably be a burden. Moreover, I am used to cultivating alone, so I will not disturb you two.
He didn't want to cultivate with Xuanzang and Huiming. If he stayed with them, he would have to pretend all the time, be careful, and be afraid of revealing his flaws. Moreover, Xuanzang was compassionate but pedantic. Staying with him would only cause trouble. It would be more comfortable to cultivate alone.
Master Huiming frowned, his tone tinged with displeasure: "Benefactor, my master is acting out of kindness and wants to help you. Why are you refusing? Do you not trust my master, or do you have some other ulterior motive?"
Jiang Wang panicked and quickly bowed, his tone filled with respect and pleading: "Master, please calm down! Master, please calm down! It's not that I don't trust you two masters, nor do I have any other intentions. It's just that I'm really used to cultivating alone. Moreover, I'm dull-witted and have low cultivation, which will indeed be a burden to you two masters. Please, masters, don't blame me."
Xuanzang waved his hand, his face still bearing a gentle smile, his tone carrying a hint of compassion: "Huiming, do not be rude."
Since you are used to cultivating alone, we don't need to force you.
Rest assured, benefactor, this humble monk and Master Huiming are cultivating on this bluestone platform and will not disturb you.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
Jiang Wang quickly bowed and said with gratitude, "This junior will remember. If I encounter any danger, I will call out the names of the two masters and ask for their help."
“Amitabha, benefactor, there is no need for such formalities.”
Xuanzang clasped his hands together, his tone filled with compassion, "Please continue your cultivation, benefactor. This humble monk and Master Huiming have also begun our cultivation."
"Yes, junior obeys."
Jiang Wang nodded, closed his eyes again, and pretended to continue absorbing the power of the Great Dao's origin, but in his heart he thought, "Xuanzang, Huiming, you'd better not provoke me. Otherwise, even if you are Buddhist cultivators, I will not show any mercy."
【Host, you've done very well.】
The system's voice sounded at the right time: "You performed very well just now, without revealing any flaws. Xuanzang and Huiming did not suspect your identity."
However, you should also be careful. Huiming's cultivation level is, after all, at the mid-stage of the Hunyuan realm, and he is extremely loyal to Xuanzang. If you accidentally reveal a weakness or harm Xuanzang, he will definitely fight you with all his might, and then it will be very difficult for you to escape.
"I know, I'll be careful."
Jiang Wang silently thought to himself, "Right now, I'm just pretending to cultivate. In reality, I will accelerate the absorption of the power of the Great Dao's origin, striving to break through to the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm as soon as possible, and upgrade the Hidden Head and Revealed Tail skill to the Origin level. Once the skill is upgraded, even if Huiming makes a move, I am confident that I can escape unscathed."
The host is absolutely right.
The system said, "The host can appropriately increase the absorption speed. As long as it does not exceed one's own refining limit, it will not attract the attention of the Great Dao's will, or Xuanzang and Huiming."
Moreover, the host has already absorbed and refined a thousand strands of the Great Dao's origin power, and the refining speed has also increased. Appropriately accelerating the absorption speed will not cause any disorder in the primordial power within the body.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Jiang Wang silently recited in his heart, and then accelerated the speed at which he absorbed the power of the Great Dao Origin. Every time he absorbed a wisp, he immediately circulated his cultivation technique to refine it and integrate it into his own Primordial Power. At the same time, he constantly activated the Concealing Head and Revealing Tail skill to hide his aura and prevent Xuanzang, Huiming, or other cultivators from discovering anything unusual.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Wang slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with excitement. He could clearly feel that the Primordial Chaos Power within his body had become extremely dense, and he was only one step away from the mid-stage of Primordial Chaos. Moreover, he had already absorbed and refined 1,500 strands of the Great Dao Origin Power, and he was getting closer and closer to upgrading the Hidden Head and Revealed Tail skill.
"System, I feel like I'm about to break through to the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm!"
Jiang Wang silently recited in his heart, his tone tinged with excitement, "As long as I absorb and refine a few hundred more strands of the power of the Great Dao's origin, I can break through. At that time, my cultivation will rise to the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, and my strength will also reach a higher level." [The host is right.]
The system said, "The host's current Primordial Chaos Power has reached a critical point. As long as you absorb and refine another five hundred strands of the Great Dao Origin Power, you can break through to the mid-stage of Primordial Chaos."
Furthermore, absorbing and refining these five hundred strands of the Great Dao's essence will greatly help the host upgrade the Concealing Head and Revealing Tail skill. The host should continue to work hard and strive to break through as soon as possible.
"it is good!"
Jiang Wang silently recited this in his heart, then closed his eyes again and accelerated the absorption of the power of the Great Dao's origin. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to break through to the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos as soon as possible and upgrade the Hidden Head and Revealed Tail skill to the Origin level.
Just as Jiang Wang was fully absorbing the power of the Great Dao's origin and preparing to break through to the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, a cold male voice suddenly rang in his ear, carrying a hint of malice: "Kid, you seem quite comfortable cultivating here all by yourself."
Jiang Wang's heart tightened, and he instantly stopped absorbing the power of the Great Dao Origin. He opened his eyes abruptly and looked in the direction of the sound. Not far away, he saw a man wearing a black robe. The man had a sinister face and cold eyes. He exuded a strong Netherworld power and was at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm. Without even thinking, he knew that this man was the Black Impermanence of the Netherworld that the system had mentioned.
Jiang Wang quickly composed himself, pretending to be timid. He stood up, bowed, and said with a hint of respect and nervousness, "This junior, Tu Xiaonai, greets senior."
"Senior, what brings you to this junior?"
Black Impermanence sized up Jiang Wang, his eyes filled with disdain and malice. He stepped forward, his Netherworld power growing even stronger, and his tone turned icy: "Little Tu? A cultivator from the Auspicious Chaos Realm? Only at the early stage of the Primordial Chaos Realm? Hmph, what a piece of trash. With such cultivation, you dare to enter the Great Dao Secret Realm? You're simply wasting your spot."
Jiang Wang lowered his head, pretending to be ashamed, and said with a hint of grievance, "Senior is right. I am indeed a waste. I am dull-witted and have low cultivation. The reason I was able to enter the Great Dao Secret Realm is entirely due to good luck and I passed the test by chance."
"I know I am unworthy to enter the Great Dao Secret Realm, so I have been cultivating here quietly, daring not to be presumptuous in the slightest, nor to provoke anyone. I beg you, senior, to show mercy and spare me this time."
"Let you go?"
Black Impermanence sneered, his tone laced with malice, "In this Great Dao Secret Realm, the strong prey on the weak. Since you are a piece of trash, you are not worthy of absorbing the power of the Great Dao's origin here, nor are you worthy of having a spot to enter the Great Dao Secret Realm."
"I think you'd better hand over all the treasures you possess, as well as the power of the Great Dao's origin that you've absorbed. Perhaps then I can spare your life. Otherwise, I'll cripple your cultivation and annihilate you, body and soul!"
Jiang Wang sneered inwardly, but on the surface he still pretended to be terrified, his tone pleading: "Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life! I have no treasures on me, nor have I absorbed much power of the Great Dao Origin. Please, senior, have mercy and let me go this time. I will leave the Great Dao Secret Realm now and never come back!"
"No treasures? Didn't absorb much of the power of the Great Dao's origin?"
Black Impermanence's eyes turned cold, and his tone was tinged with anger. "Do you think I'd believe your nonsense? Even the weakest cultivators who can enter the Great Dao Secret Realm will possess several treasures. Besides, you've been cultivating here for so long, how could you not have absorbed much of the Great Dao's origin power? I think you're just deliberately refusing to hand it over, wanting to die!"
As he spoke, Hei Wuchang raised his right hand, a dense wisp of Netherworld power gathering at his fingertips, and slapped it towards Jiang Wang's chest, his tone icy: "Since you refuse to hand it over, then I will personally take action, cripple your cultivation, and search your entire body. I refuse to believe that I cannot find the treasure and the power of the Great Dao's origin!"
Jiang Wang's heart tightened, knowing that he could no longer pretend. If he continued to act cowardly, he might really be struck in the chest by the Black Impermanence and have his cultivation ruined.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and quietly circulated the Primordial Chaos Power within his body. At the same time, he activated the Concealing Head and Revealing Tail skill, hiding his cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, preparing to launch a counterattack.
Just then, a gentle male voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of compassion: "Amitabha, Black Impermanence, please have mercy!"
Xuanzang and Huiming quickly stepped down from the bluestone platform and stood in front of Jiang Wang. Xuanzang clasped his hands together, a gentle smile on his face, and a hint of compassion in his voice: "Black Impermanence, this benefactor is dull-witted and has low cultivation. He has no ill intentions and no treasures. Please be merciful and let him go this time."
Black Impermanence paused, withdrew his right hand, his eyes filled with displeasure, and his tone was icy: "Xuanzang, Huiming, this is between me and this brat, it has nothing to do with you. You'd better not meddle, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Master Huiming took a step forward, his Buddhist power intensifying, his eyes sharpening, and his tone steady: "Black Impermanence, my master is compassionate and cannot bear to see you harm the innocent. If you insist on harming this benefactor, then we will have no choice but to intervene."
"Intervene to stop them?"
Black Impermanence sneered, his tone laced with disdain, "Huiming, do you think you, a mere mid-stage Hunyuan cultivator, can stop me? I advise you to be sensible and get out of my way, or I'll take care of you all!"
“Amitabha, Black Impermanence, do not act rashly.”
Xuanzang waved his hand, his face still bearing a gentle smile, his tone carrying a hint of compassion, "In the Great Dao Secret Realm, the will of the Great Dao is omnipresent. If we fight here, it will surely attract the attention of the will of the Great Dao. At that time, we will all be punished, and it will be a loss for us."
"Please, benefactor, let go of your obsession and stop making things difficult for this person. Wouldn't it be better if we could cultivate together in peace and improve our own cultivation?"
Black Impermanence frowned, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
He also knew that the will of the Great Dao was omnipresent in the Great Dao Secret Realm, and if they fought here, it would definitely attract the attention of the will of the Great Dao, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, Huiming's cultivation level is the same as his, both being at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm. If they were to actually fight, he might not necessarily gain the upper hand; instead, they would both be severely injured and punished by the will of the Great Dao.
A moment later, Black Impermanence snorted coldly, his tone tinged with resentment: "Hmph, for Xuanzang's sake, I'll let this brat go this time."
However, kid, you just wait and see. If I ever see you again, I'll cripple your cultivation and annihilate you, body and soul! (End of Chapter)
