Chapter 29
C29 – The Entire Human Race Felt Disappointed
“Is Jiang Que etching the Cloud Stepping Spell and the Method Circulating Scroll onto the stone wall?”
“Indeed he is!”
“Oh my goodness! We are incredibly fortunate today!”
“Almighty Mr. Jiang must have heard my prayers, and on a whim, he decided to grant my wish.”
The billions of viewers in the live broadcast were overjoyed.
Major news websites immediately featured this story as their top headline.
The news spread like wildfire, and humanity plunged into a state of jubilation.
Cheers erupted in nearly every nook and cranny of the life planets throughout the Milky Way.
The gloom that had lingered for days seemed to vanish overnight.
Joy was written on everyone’s face.
The stock market, which had been in decline for over a month, saw a sharp uptick in all sectors except for the automotive industry.
Undoubtedly, this was fantastic news for all of humanity.
Although people were more eager to learn the improved Chaos Spell, the Cloud Stepping Spell was a close second.
But since Jiang Que had unexpectedly shared the Cloud Stepping Spell, it stood to reason that he might one day release the improved Chaos Spell.
After over a month of gloom and irritation, hope had finally dawned.
However, this sense of elation was short-lived.
Soon, people began to notice discrepancies.
“Wait a minute! Why does the Method Circulating Scroll that Jiang Que inscribed look different from the one scanned by the scanner?”
“It appears to be much simpler. Originally, Spirit Power had to travel through six meridians and fifteen acupoints from the Qi Sea to the legs. Now, it only passes through five meridians and nine acupoints.”
“This must be a refined Method Circulating Scroll. After all, Jiang Que dedicated another hour to studying the Cloud Stepping Spell upon returning to the tribe.”
“But the data from the Cultivation Method Research Institutes suggests that the more acupoints the Spirit Power traverses, the more potent the cultivation method becomes.”
“If Jiang Que intended to refine the Cloud Stepping Spell, why would he decrease the number of acupoints for Spirit Power? That would only weaken the spell’s effectiveness.”
“Is it possible that Jiang Que wasn’t enhancing the Cloud Stepping Spell during that hour, but rather researching a diminished version?”
“It’s highly likely. Considering that once mastered, the Cloud Stepping Spell can enable a person to move as fast as the speed of sound, it’s improbable that he would release the full version of the spell to the public.”
The live broadcast audience was thrown into a state of panic.
Their earlier hopes were now matched by their current disappointment.
Upon realizing that they were being presented with only a weakened version of the Cloud Stepping Spell, their spirits plummeted.
As the news spread, the entire human race, which had been in a state of celebration, was suddenly shrouded in gloom.
Their pessimism was palpable.
The stock market, which had just begun to recover, took another nosedive.
Their mood soured even further after this setback.
In the heart of the valley, the Flame Mountain Tribe’s people were overjoyed.
Yet, with Jiang Que in their presence, no one dared to cheer out loud.
Watching Jiang Que inscribe and sketch on the stone wall, it was clear to the tribespeople that he was about to impart a new cultivation method to them.
Unaware that they were to learn a weakened version of the Cloud Stepping Spell, they felt no disappointment—only thick excitement.
”This cultivation method is known as the Cloud Stepping Spell. It enhances the practitioner’s speed.”
Over the past couple of months, the Flame Mountain Tribe’s clansmen had not only practiced their cultivation daily but had also been learning to read and write.
Though not highly educated, they could grasp most of what Jiang Que had written on the stone wall regarding the weakened Cloud Stepping Spell.
Jiang Que no longer needed to wait for the tribespeople to commit the cultivation method to memory before beginning his instruction.
“First and foremost, you must learn to freely control your Spirit Power to reach any acupoint indicated on the Method Circulating Scroll. Achieving this will require extensive practice.”
Jiang Que wasted no time, diving straight into his lesson. He elucidated the intricacies of the cultivation method and the various precautions to observe while practicing it to the Flame Mountain Tribe’s people.
The clansmen listened with rapt attention.
Even the children appeared to have moments of sudden insight.
What they truly grasped, however, was known only to them.
Back in the live broadcast, the audience was left dumbfounded.
No one felt like listening to Jiang Que’s teachings.
Although the weakened version of the Cloud Stepping Spell was valuable, the viewers, weighed down by their despondency, couldn’t concentrate.
Negative emotions engulfed them.
After more than an hour, Jiang Que had finished explaining the weakened version of the Cloud Stepping Spell to everyone.
He spent over half an hour answering their questions. The more gifted clansmen had already fully grasped the simplified version of the Cloud Stepping Spell and responded to Jiang Que’s inquiries with ease.
”Those who have broken through to Spirit Release Stage Level 1, stay. Those who haven’t can return,” Jiang Que announced, clapping his hands for emphasis. “Once you’re back, focus on your cultivation. Make time to practice the Flying Blade Spell and the Cloud Stepping Spell!”
The clansmen bowed respectfully and departed, echoing a collective “Yes!”
In a moment, only about twenty clansmen remained before Jiang Que. These individuals were the prodigies who had achieved Spirit Release Stage Level 1 in the last two months. Pann Qiu was the quickest among them, having reached this milestone a month prior, while the slowest had only done so two days ago.
Jiang Que had resolved to impart the refined Chaos Spell to them. Contrary to the live audience’s speculation, he had no intention of limiting the cultivation levels of his clansmen to maintain his dominance. His concern was not that the clansmen’s average strength would become too formidable, but rather that it would improve too slowly.
The mightier the Flame Mountain Tribe’s clansmen grew, the more they could expand his territory, enhance his sphere of influence, and boost his talent bonus, enabling him to advance further in developing superior cultivation methods.
He had previously withheld the cultivation method because the enhanced Chaos Spell was incredibly complex. With just a few individuals at Spirit Release Stage Level 1, if they failed to grasp the Chaos Spell on the first attempt, he would have to take time to explain it once more. However, with a group of twenty to thirty learning together, they could discuss and help each other, leveraging their collective knowledge.
Another consideration was safety. Over the past two months, he had been engrossed in researching and crafting the Cloud Stepping Spell, causing his own cultivation level to plateau.
If Jiang Que were to share the enhanced version of the Chaos Spell, it would result in clansmen like Pann Qiu becoming more powerful than him. Despite being revered by the clansmen as a deity, his nature prevented him from placing complete trust in anyone but himself. For the sake of his own security, and because the overall enhancement of the clansmen’s strength was negligible, he refrained from disseminating the improved Chaos Spell.
Having successfully developed the Cloud Stepping Spell, Jiang Que could now dedicate himself to mastering it, thereby eliminating any previous reservations. He glanced at Pann Qiu and the others before picking up a stone and heading to the original location where he had inscribed the Chaos Spell. He etched the spell into the stone once more.
Pann Qiu and her fellow clansmen looked on, utterly bewildered. Similarly, the viewers in the live stream were equally perplexed. They were blissfully unaware of the monumental surprise that was about to unfold before them—a surprise potent enough to send them into a frenzy.
