Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Beside the babbling brook, the boy held tightly onto his wooden sword, staring intently at the white-haired man who was flying towards him on a sword.

"Your potential is good. Do you want to come with me?" The white-haired man said.

Although he was young, how could he not see the magnificent scenery of the Qingming wind? He was about to agree, but then he heard a stubborn voice next to him, "Take me with you!"

The owner of the voice was his playmate, and also the defeated underling who had just fought with him.

The boy knew his companion's stubbornness well. For example, in today's "sword fight," he had already lost count of how many times they had fought. But this companion was so stubborn that he would only stop when he won back what he had lost.

The boy thought, we can go cultivate together.

He couldn't remember many details, but he still remembered the white-haired man's eyes. They were as clear as a stream, and as lofty as the sky.

The white-haired man looked at them with those eyes, looking at the two childhood friends who had always been together, and a smile appeared on his lips, the meaning of which was unclear.

"I only take one disciple." The white-haired man said.

What should he do? The boy thought at the time.

But he only had time to think for a moment, and the next moment, he was pushed into the brook.

Bang!

The sound of splashing water.

His friend, the friend who had played with him naked, and the friend who was still just a child, pushed him into the water without hesitation!

Through the rippling waves, he saw his "friend's" expressionless face, as well as the white-haired man's calm eyes.

Then, a frosty white sword light rose into the sky.

His little buddy and the white-haired man were wrapped in that gorgeous and dazzling sword light, like a sudden thunderbolt on a clear day, coming and going suddenly.

Like the legend of countless immortals asking for the way, passing by the sad and mediocre mortals.

Leaving behind the unforgettable, unbelievable, countless times of waking up from a midnight dream!

...

Jiang Wang opened his eyes, the pitch-black night enveloping everything around him, including himself. The dormitory was particularly quiet, with Ling He and Du Yehu's long breathing, with a special rhythm.

Jiang Wang knew that they were practicing the basic breathing technique. Although it was a simple basic technique, only inner disciples could learn it. It was the foundational technique that the Zhuangguo Daoist Academy had built over a hundred years.

There was not much suspense for the inner courtyard candidates of the Fenglin City Daoist Academy. Ling He, Du Yehu, and Zhao Rucheng had all become new inner disciples, and their names were recorded in the Daoist priest's jade book kept in the ancestral hall.

However, before their Dao veins were revealed, they could not be considered as officially ordained Daoist priests.The Open Meridian Pill is hard to come by, even for the Fenglin City Daoist Academy, which is supported by the state, it is impossible to give every disciple a free distribution. As the most outstanding group of outer disciples selected to enter the inner sect, they generally have to endure at least a year of time and accumulate enough credit to qualify for obtaining the Open Meridian Pill.

Only the outer door contribution ranking first each year can exchange for an Open Meridian Pill with contribution points. This is a special incentive for the outer disciples of the academy. Therefore, since Jiang Wang appeared in this group, no one else could replicate his path.

Even so, Jiang Wang had to fight to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for the Open Meridian Pill. And now, there is no other Western Mountain Bandit available for elimination within a hundred miles of Fenglin City.

After joining the outer sect of the academy and working hard to cultivate, he defeated countless competitors to enter the inner sect. After entering the inner sect, he continued to work hard to cultivate while accumulating task contributions, and finally received the Open Meridian Pill, stepping into the realm of transcendence. This is the normal path for cultivators in Zhuangguo and can be considered a visible and easy path.

Compared to those who have innate Dao veins and directly enter the inner sect to start cultivating Dao methods, these young people who take the outer sect promotion route do indeed waste too much time.

The path of cultivation is slow, step by step. This is why Jiang Wang risked his life to complete tasks when he was in the outer sect, and it is also the reason why Fang Pengju couldn't control his greed. No one wants to wait for so many years!

So Jiang Wang understands Fang Pengju's desire, but cannot forgive his methods.

As extraordinary warriors like them, whether it is Ling He or Du Yehu, who would want to achieve transcendence less than Fang Pengju? But they didn't do such despicable things.

Jiang Wang's father once said a sentence: a person is determined by his choices. Jiang Wang deeply agrees with this.

And he himself is also in a difficult choice.

As we all know, there are ten realms of cultivation, with the ninth realm being the beginning of transcendence and the first realm being the highest. The sign of achieving the ninth realm is the rotation of the Dao, and the Dao element is self-generated.

Cultivators have gone through a long and difficult-to-count history, and there is a very detailed and in-depth study of this first step towards transcendence.

The spine is regarded as the human body's dragon, and the Dao veins are hidden within the spine. After the Dao veins appear, the cultivator can feedback the Qi and blood power to the Dao veins, thereby generating the Dao element. The Dao element is the foundation of all Dao methods and the basis of transcendence.

Taking Jiang Wang's Earthworm Meridian as an example, every time he mobilizes the "Earthworm," he needs to mobilize a considerable amount of Qi and blood power, penetrate the entire spine dragon, and then generate a Dao element. As a cultivator of this level, Jiang Wang can do the meridian cultivation practice at most twice a day, accumulating two Dao elements. It's not that he is not working hard, but his body does not allow it. The consumption of Qi and blood is too great, and it is completely not worth it.

After accumulating the Dao element, the next step is to control the Dao element with the corresponding array points listed in the Foundation Formation Diagram. When the formation is completed, the Dao rotation is born.As a practitioner who has opened his meridians, the Dao Academy in Fenglin City naturally taught him the Foundation Formation. It is the commonly used Guiyuan Formation in Zhuangguo, which has a total of eighty-one formation points. That is to say, under the condition that the Foundation Formation is listed without any mistakes, he needs at least forty-one days, nearly a month and a half, to truly become a ninth-grade cultivator. (Jiang Wang had already exhausted the two Dao Yuan he had accumulated before in the battle.)

Before this, Jiang Wang had nothing to worry about, but now that he has unexpectedly entered the Tai Xu Illusory Realm and inherited Zuo Guanglie's "Dong Zhen Xu Fudi," unlocking the corresponding Sword Platform and Lecture Platform, he has new troubles.

Yesterday, after he obtained the Guiyuan Formation, in order to test the effectiveness of the Lecture Platform, he invested all 1850 points of merit into the deduction of the Foundation Formation. In the end, he obtained the extremely complicated Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation. The entire Foundation Formation has 365 formation points!

Not to mention the difficulty of listing the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation, even if he can perfectly replicate the Foundation Formation, it would take at least half a year to generate the first Dao Rotation.

After that, to advance from ninth grade to eighth grade, he needs to establish three Dao Rotations, and to advance from eighth grade to seventh grade, he needs to establish nine Dao Rotations.

Calculated in this way, the time is too long!

Undoubtedly, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation is stronger than the Guiyuan Formation, but the long time required for its foundation is where Jiang Wang hesitates. He needs to quickly improve his cultivation level in order to catch up with those cultivators who have naturally manifested their Dao Meridians, but time waits for no one.

However, after waking up from his dream tonight, he has made a choice.

Jiang Wang closed his eyes, urged the only Dao Yuan generated by yesterday's breakthrough in his meridians, and slowly moved it in his spine. In the blurry perception world of manipulating Dao Yuan, this is an infinite and boundless space.

Because the Great Dragon resides here, it is also called the Spine Sea.

But in the transmission of practitioners, it has a louder name—Tongtian Palace!

Passing through the Tongtian Palace and opening the door of heaven and earth is the transformation from a beginner cultivator to an intermediate cultivator.

In the boundless Tongtian Palace, a Dao Yuan is as small as a speck of dust. But it is not swayed by the waves, but instead firmly and stubbornly carries out Jiang Wang's will. Moving and moving, it finally hovers in the ideal position.

That is the position of the Sun Star in the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation.

When this Dao Yuan hovers, Jiang Wang seems to see the eyes of that white-haired cultivator when he was young.

He will never forget when he was pushed into the water.

Those eyes seemed to say to him—

"The path of cultivation is a struggle."
