Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Cultivation begins with cultivating the heart.

Cultivation is the foundation of cultivation, Dao techniques are the means of protecting the Dao, but one's heart is the driving force that supports the cultivator's progress.

When the mental blockage dissipates, tonight's cultivation becomes exceptionally smooth.

Clear thoughts, clear Dao heart. The earthworm that had been winding around the Star River Path continuously for several crossings has shed its skin and revealed a lively little snake.

This also marks the evolution from the Earthworm Meridian to the Spirit Snake Meridian.

Like the changes in other True Spirits of the Dao, the amount of Dao Yuan circulated has increased from one to three.

The only difference is that the Spirit Snake True Spirit that Jiang Wang, within the Heavenly Palace, is cultivating still has a starry appearance and is even more agile.

Originally, according to the plan, the establishment of the second Dao rotation should have been on November 13th.

But now it has already reached the critical point, two days ahead of schedule. And it can be foreseen that with the blessing of the Starry Spirit Snake Meridian, this speed will further increase.

The establishment of the first Dao rotation marks the foundation, and it also represents that the Dao Yuan within the cultivator's body can now be self-generated. From the second Dao rotation onwards, the cultivator must prepare for the construction of the Small Circulating Realm.

Only when the three Dao rotations resonate with each other and become one, can the Dao Yuan truly be endless. After the Small Circulating Realm is stable, it can support the expansion of the Heavenly Palace.

Therefore, an eighth-grade cultivator is at the Circulating Realm.

Building the Small Circulating Realm is not a simple matter, it is not a matter of arbitrarily establishing three Dao rotations. If the Dao rotations themselves cannot harmonize with each other, or even conflict with each other, it can destroy the path of cultivation.

These three Dao rotations are also known as the Three Talents. The best Small Circulating Realm not only has a logical basis, but also requires a harmonious artistic conception.

According to different schools and even different individuals' temperament, the Three Talents can also be different. Like the Jiang River Sea, the Wind and Elegant Ode, the Wood and Forest, and even Gold, Silver, and Copper...

For Jiang Wang, he has already given it deep consideration.

His first Dao rotation is the Sun.

The Circulating Star Formation starts from the Sun. The world is bright when the sun rises.

Starting from the Sun rotation, there are also many powerful artistic conceptions that can be constructed, such as the Sun and Moon Year, traversing the river of time.

Jiang Wang didn't hesitate at all, the second Dao rotation was naturally the Moon. The Taiyin Star is almost related to everything he has now. Only the bright moon can reflect one's true self.

The Moon rotation and the Sun rotation, which are both condensed by the Circulating Star Formation, have no difference in appearance. They are both suspended above the Heavenly Palace.

The two groups of Star River Path rotations run parallel to each other, making the Heavenly Palace even more clear.

The coiling Starry Spirit Snake happily swims between the two groups of Dao rotations, and Dao Yuan falls like pearls. Each day, the two groups of Star River Path rotations give birth to 16 Dao Yuan. The Dao Yuan consumption of the Starry Spirit Snake is three times that of the Earthworm, with 12 Dao Yuan consumed during the four times of meridian cultivation each day.

At this rate, if nothing unexpected happens, the establishment of the third group of Star River Path rotations will be in thirteen days. As long as there are no problems with the Small Circulating Realm, Jiang Wang will firmly step into the Circulating Realm.

...

The heart-stirring County Academy Exam has ended, and Jiang Wang's familiar Li Jianqiu and Wang Changxiang have successfully entered the County Academy. Zhang Linqian did not choose to take the County Academy Exam, but plans to obtain a spot in the National Academy through next year's Three Cities Debate.

Undoubtedly, this is faster than Li Jianqiu and the others advancing through the Three County Alliance. Only Zhang Linqian, the strongest in terms of combat power, has the qualifications to bet on one year.

When Li Jianqiu left, Jiang Wang and the others went to see him off outside the city.

These disciples who went to the County Academy were basically the best disciples of the City Academy, so there were many people seeing them off.

Especially Wang Changxiang, who was almost surrounded by the crowd. The Wang clan is proud of him, and several elders in the clan kept advising him.

"When will you junior brothers go to the County Academy? Or should we meet directly at the National Academy?" Li Jianqiu asked, looking at Jiang Wang.

Since the incident at the Shuibi Peak, Li Jianqiu has visibly relaxed. He has also regained some of the vigor that a young person should have.

In his opinion, among these people, Jiang Wang is the most likely to enter the National Academy directly.

Zhao Rucheng grinned and said, "We will strive to catch up with Senior Brother as soon as possible. If not, please wait for us, Senior Brother."

Li Jianqiu also had some understanding of him now and smiled, "Then you have to work a little harder. Otherwise, Senior Brother is getting older and can't wait for many years."

"I'm already working very hard, Li Senior Brother!" Zhao Rucheng complained, "I practice for two hours every day!"

"But you spend at least four hours in the Three Fragrance Tower." Huang Aizhan's tone was not so much contemptuous as jealous, and he said sourly, "And you don't take Senior Brother with you!"

"Then you bring money, Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother accompanies you to the brothel because of face. If someone else invites Senior Brother, will Senior Brother go? Senior Brother won't even take a look!"

"That's because no one else invites you!"

Jiang Wang ignored their usual bickering and smiled at Li Jianqiu, "It seems that Senior Brother won't stay in the County Academy for too long. Are you planning to go to the Ministry of War or become a regional governor in the future?"

"After I come out of the National Academy in the future, I will probably go to Sanshan City." Li Jianqiu said, "I always feel that I should do something."

Zhao Rucheng and Huang Aizhan, who were joking just now, fell silent. They have experienced the extermination of ferocious beasts in Sanshan City and can better understand Li Jianqiu's feelings.

Sanshan City has a strange charm. It is not brought about by the region itself, but by the people who live there.

Among these people, Jiang Wang is probably the one with the most complicated feelings. Besides bowing, he has nothing else to say.

Linghe Li said, "Then please, Senior Brother, ascend to the Qingyun. Don't look back."

Li Jianqiu left without looking back.

When Jiang Wang returned to the city, he saw someone holding a fat orange cat at the corner of the city gate. He was probably here to see someone off, but for some reason, he was standing alone here.

The figure looked lonely.

When he saw Jiang Wang's gaze, he only nodded slightly, and there was no more emotion in his gentle gaze.

Jiang Wang also nodded and was pushed away by Zhao Rucheng.

...

November 15th, night.

The monthly challenge of the blessed land began as scheduled. Jiang Wang always sets aside this day for the blessed land challenge. He doesn't want to be judged as a loss for not responding in time - although even if he does respond, he cannot avoid the outcome of failure.

Tonight is no exception.

Jiang Wang holds two large groups of Star River Path rotations, the Purple Qi Coming from the East Sword Art has reached the state of transformation, and the Four Spirit Body Refining Art has completed the Azure Dragon section. His mastery of Dao techniques is quite proficient.

But he was still killed in seconds.

This time it was even more outrageous, he didn't even realize what method killed him.

Jiang Wang felt that if he were to make a record of his experiences in the Illusory Realm, the title should be "Jiang Wang's One Thousand Ways to Die."

He gloriously fell into the Dongling Source of the blessed land, with only 1550 points of merit produced per month. Adding the merit he had left before, the total was 3390 points.

Now that his attack and killing methods are already sufficient, and various Dao techniques in the Dao Academy are open to him, he is reluctant to waste these merits. After all, the blessed land is an unexpected gain, and based on the current trend, he will sooner or later be driven out. Or... he can grow up before that happens.

After hesitating in the Illusory Realm for a while, he turned his gaze to the Arena.

This is the Ninth-grade Arena. In the Illusory Realm, one controls this Arena to fight against opponents.

He suddenly remembered the words Lin Jia's old man said when he was at the One Sword Gate -

"See if he's really invincible within the Meridian Realm!"

Now his combat power is self-proclaimed as the best in Maple Forest, Sanshan City, and Wangjiang City, he has already achieved this.

What about the whole world?

In this mysterious and unpredictable Illusory Realm.

How about it?

...

...

(PS: I quickly demonstrated the Dao techniques, the corresponding levels of Dao techniques, representative Dao arts, and even divine abilities. Through various battle designs, I specifically showed them to the readers.

I slowly unfolded the cultivation. It is the most fundamental thing in cultivation. In order to make the world more real, it is best to advance with the protagonist's perspective, rather than abruptly present it through a narrator to everyone.

But I don't want the protagonist to become stronger mindlessly, so I control the pace. This also leads to many readers not having a deep impression of the cultivation realms in the early stages.

With the unfolding of the world, it will inevitably have a specific appearance in front of everyone.

I hope it is at least logically consistent, and based on this, I hope it is wonderful and magnificent.

Cultivation is the foundation of transcendence. Only when the foundation is stable, can this world, the world of Chixinxuntian, carry some more real things.

I am doing something that may not be pleasing, and I am not sure if readers will like it.)
