Aspiring to the Immortal Path

Chapter 848: Limitless

Tang Jie began to spend every day using the Soul-Stirring Hand to temper Xu Miaoran's Divine Soul, after which he then used the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace to temper the body.

While the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace was Tang Jie's first try at forging a tool, the formations it contained were exquisite and granted it many functions. It could be used for both forging tools and tempering cultivators.

The Soul-Stirring Hand increased Xu Miaoran's chances of reaching Violet Palace, while the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace increased her survivability. While she couldn't wield the immense strength of a body cultivator, it could greatly boost her life force.

After all, entering Violet Palace didn't mean that Xu Miaoran could boldly stride through the Vast Wilderness Continent. Even someone as strong as the Guanshan City Lord had been beaten black and blue by Tang Jie. Any random county-level sect would have a Violet Palace expert, so Xu Miaoran needed to increase both her cultivation level and her combat power.

While she was already one of the Eight Ocean Rakshasas, in Tang Jie's eyes, she was still rather weak.

The Myriad Yin Yang Furnace, by refining the bones and body, was a perfect means of improving one's combat power. For Xu Miaoran's sake, Tang Jie didn't mind spending all his savings.

Ten years quickly passed.

Tang Jie spent all ten years nurturing Xu Miaoran's soul and tempering her body. And after all this preparation, Xu Miaoran was finally ready to make the charge at Violet Palace.

On this day, Xu Miaoran found a quiet place and quietly prepared for her ascension.

Tang Jie had ascended to Violet Palace surrounded by countless people and had even drawn attacks from Godhead and Beast Refining. In comparison, Xu Miaoran's attempt was much simpler.

They didn't even tell anyone else. For Xu Miaoran, Tang Jie being at her side was enough.

Before the attempt, Tang Jie grabbed her hand, gazing at her, reluctant to let go.

After a long time, he finally said, "You have to be careful."

Tang Jie put all of his love and concern into these few words. Not even for his own attempt had he been so nervous.

Xu Miaoran saw how nervous Tang Jie was and sweetly smiled.

She cherished such concern from her love.

She lightly clenched Tang Jie's hand and then walked off into the mountains, gradually disappearing from his sight.

Tang Jie quietly waited outside the mountains, breathing in and out to calm his mind.

After some time, a whistle came from the mountains.

It was a pleasant sound that was suffused with an immense power.

With a start, Tang Jie looked up and saw Xu Miaoran walking out.

She walked step by step, but each step somehow covered a vast distance, and it was only five steps before she was right in front of Tang Jie, happily gazing at him.

Tang Jie hugged her and excitedly said, "Miaoran, you did it!"

Although he had always believed that Xu Miaoran would succeed, it was only now that Tang Jie could shake off his hidden worries.

Xu Miaoran reaching Violet Palace undoubtedly solved a big problem for Tang Jie. In the past, he had been unwilling to bring Xu Miaoran on his adventures because she hadn't been strong enough, and he was worried that something would happen to her. Besides that, Horizon Ocean Pavilion needed her to stay here.

But now that she had crossed that threshold and grown much stronger, she could finally join Tang Jie in his adventures, dealing with their problems together.

"That's not all," Xu Miaoran replied with a smile. She suddenly took a step forward and thrust a finger at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie took it in stride, casually thrusting a finger to block it.

But this finger was more mysterious than he had expected. To his shock, even though this finger was right in front of him, no matter how he tried to block it, he simply couldn't. Xu Miaoran's attack seemed to be on another plane of existence that he had no means of dealing with.

Still smiling, Xu Miaoran continued to thrust her finger forward, but not too quickly. She seemingly wanted to test Tang Jie.

Howling, Tang Jie retreated and thrust out his palm eighteen times. Through thoughtcasting, he created numerous barriers around himself.

But all of these were no obstacle to Xu Miaoran's finger. That slender finger passed through everything and lightly tapped him on the forehead.

It was warm and smooth, yet it sent a chill through Tang Jie's heart.

"You lost!" Xu Miaoran smugly laughed.

His mind went over what had happened just now, and he blurted out, "This is… the Dao of Space!"

Horizon Ocean Pavilion truly lived up to its reputation as the sect most skilled in Space. The Jewel Immortal Sovereign had entered the Dao of Space, and Xu Miaoran had used her ascension to the Violet Palace Realm to comprehend the Dao of Space.

But what she had comprehended from Space was different from the Jewel Immortal Sovereign. The Gale of Dancing Void was a domineering Dao Art that created countless spatial blades to slice apart all things.

Xu Miaoran's Dao of Space was more about using Space itself, controlling distance.

For this reason, her attacks could ignore all spatial distance and lock onto her target.

To put it simply, her attacks were guaranteed to hit.

But a guaranteed hit didn't mean a guaranteed kill.

In using her attacks through the Dao of Space, Xu Miaoran was also limited by the Dao of Space, and she couldn't use any powerful Divine Connections through it. Moreover, she had only comprehended the Dao, so while she could make her finger elusive and impossible to avoid, a secret art like the Karmic Cycle Finger wouldn't be as easy.

Even so, after understanding what Xu Miaoran had done, Tang Jie was still excited, coming up with all sorts of ideas.

He asked Xu Miaoran, "If that's the case, can you use this technique on treasures and other items?"

Xu Miaoran replied, "Of course, but like with Divine Connections, the more powerful they are, the more it takes. I've only barely comprehended this Dao, so I can't use this ability on any treasures that are too powerful."

Tang Jie smiled. "That's enough. Miaoran, if you develop this Dao Will even more, it has infinite potential."

Xu Miaoran was startled. "Husband, did you think of some way to use this ability?"

"A lot. For example, Heavenbane Lightning Pearls don't have much spiritual power, so you can send them over, creating a decent killing move. Of course, Heavenbane Lightning Pearls are rather weak compared to Violet Palace experts, but we can use quantity to make up for it. In addition, Mustard Seed Bags also don't have much spiritual power. Miaoran, you can silently send things over, so presumably, you can also silently take them back, right? In battle, you can just reach out, and then… haha."

Xu Miaoran was dumbfounded.

She had chosen the ability to ignore spatial distance primarily because she wanted to keep up with Tang Jie. The goal here wasn't in attacking, but in escaping so that she wouldn't hold Tang Jie back in battle, after which she could consider her options. This was what she had really been thinking.

But Tang Jie had managed to come up with all sorts of ideas on how to use this ability, and it seemed like they covered offense, defense, and retreat. The only thing lacking was that they were rather lowly…

Extremely lowly!

Xu Miaoran was dizzied by all the potential Tang Jie saw in her only comprehending the Dao of Space.

Anyone else might have already started scolding him out of shame and anger.

But Xu Miaoran was a fiend woman, and there was nothing she feared. Moreover, all that mattered to her was that her man liked it.

Thus, after that initial moment of shock, she clapped her hands and laughed. "Great idea! In the future, when you fight with someone, I'll go and steal their Mustard Seed Bags."

She suddenly grabbed at Tang Jie's Mustard Seed Bag.

Tang Jie hastily retreated, but Xu Miaoran's hand followed him like his shadow, and he couldn't shake it off. Just when it seemed like his Mustard Seed Bag would be taken, he suddenly slapped it, upon which the Mustard Seed Bag began to radiate spiritual power, and Xu Miaoran's hand bounced off it.

Xu Miaoran yelped and drew back her hand. "You rascal!"

Tang Jie knew Xu Miaoran's ability, so he naturally understood how to counter it. While the Mustard Seed Bag itself didn't have much spiritual power, it contained numerous treasures. Thus, slightly opening it and allowing the power to flow out would prevent Xu Miaoran from taking it.

Tang Jie laughed. "Alright, then I won't use this method. Try again."

Xu Miaoran reached out again, and this time, rather than trying to evade, Tang Jie thrust out a finger.

Xu Miaoran didn't dare to clash with him directly and could only draw back her hand.

She had failed again.

Tang Jie said with a smile, "There are no invincible methods in the world, only invincible people. The Dao of Space is far from enough. There are plenty of ways to counter your ability. We'll do some testing today and see how to deal with them."

He began to practice with Xu Miaoran.

They ended up practicing for the entire day, husband and wife thoroughly researching this ability. Tang Jie gave it the name of "Limitless", for it could ignore all boundaries and limits.

With Limitless, Tang Jie began to prepare items like Heavenbane Lightning Pearls for Xu Miaoran to use. This obviously meant going to the Heavenly Extinction Sect, which was basically tasked with making Heavenbane Lightning Pearls for Tang Jie for the next twenty years.

Heavenbane Lightning Pearls used the Domain Astral Winds as a base material, which limited their annual production. But gathering the Astral Winds was a minor matter for Tang Jie, and he provided the Astral Winds in large quantities. As a result, it was manpower and not material that became the limiting factor, and a constant stream of Heavenbane Lightning Pearls began to make its way to Tang Jie.

After reaching Violet Palace, Tang Jie thought that he would never have a use for these pearls again. But now, he was crazily collecting them, and he was gathering hundreds of times more than ever before.

In addition, Tang Jie also paid a visit to the Seven Absolutions Sect, having them design some special treasures that were low in spiritual power for her to use.

Time went by quickly in the midst of all this preparation, and twenty years passed in the blink of an eye. The opening of the Court of Myriad Domains was nigh.

On this day, everyone gathered their things and stepped into the teleportation formation, heading off to a whole new world.
