Capítulo 1789: Chapter 79: Tower Beyond the Heavens, Mountain Without Wood
The starlight from the Kai Yang Star Tower only shone briefly on the sky of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Yet, deep within the universe, such an ancient and quaint pentagonal tower stands tall, becoming a light source in the star domain belonging to the Kai Yang Star.
Although it has only a rough outline for now, and finer details have yet to be carved.
But from now on, as long as Jiang Wang lives, it will not extinguish.
The mont the second Star Tower was erected, the human body interacted with the universe, distant starlight fell down, and the flesh body was once again strengthened.
This ti, the degree of body strengthening was certainly not as impressive as that with the Yuheng Star Tower. The scale of Star Power is vastly different, but the process of personally raising the tower itself deepens the understanding of the Tao Path.
For Jiang Wang, the significance of the Kai Yang Star Tower standing lies in the fact that he is no longer alone in the universe, on the basis of narrating the Tao.
The Yuheng Star Tower and the Kai Yang Star Tower illuminate each other, thereby enlightening the path forward. Henceforth, when he manifests his Spirit within the Star Tower, he can better grasp his position, not easily lost.
The classics of the sages provide a pathway for the followers to pursue.
The two characters chosen by Jiang Wang also align with the sage’s Tao.
Like the character ‘Faith’, taken by both the Confucianists and the rchants, which is set in the Azure Dragon Saint Tower. The character ‘Sincerity’ is established by the Taoist Sect in the Vermilion Saint Tower.
In a sense, words were created to narrate the Tao, each word can represent a kind of understanding of the Tao.
‘Faith’ and ‘Sincerity’, these two characters themselves are manifestations of the Tao.
To make a promise is Faith; to speak without deceit is Sincerity.
For Jiang Wang, these two characters are the foundation of his Tao Path, but they are not the essence of his Tao Path.
They are akin to two bright lanterns erected during the Long Night, illuminating the road ahead.
What he has chosen is Faith in people and Sincerity in heart, perhaps not entirely akin to that of the sages.
Every ti a Star Tower is raised, it is an expounding from within to beyond, as well as a baptism from beyond to within.
As the edge of the starlight fades, Jiang Wang remains imrsed in the lingering echoes.
Unaware of the passage of ti.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, three peals of thunder resounded across the sky.
It seed as though so sort of change was occurring between Heaven and Earth.
Clouds and smoke surged in the distance, and the Azure Sea beneath roiled with dark currents.
Jiang Wang stood gingerly before a cliff, witnessing the massive Floating Mountain before him tremble as though a giant beast had turned over.
Rocks rolled down, and soil sifted away.
Jiang Wang almost thought it would collapse before him, but it soon steadied.
The vague sense of unease from nowhere had vanished, and heaven and sea returned to calm as though nothing had happened.
Just now… what happened?
With Jiang Wang’s understanding of the Mountain and Sea Realm, he evidently could not find any answer.
But these three claps of thunder roused him from his trance.
Now that Bi Fang is dead, this enormous Floating Mountain is without a master.
Could there be so treasure guarded by Bi Fang atop the Floating Mountain?
The thought flashed as Jiang Wang leapt up, treading the Qingyun, swiftly ascending to the summit of the Floating Mountain.
This mountain is majestic and broad, if standing within it, nothing might appear out of the ordinary. Only by standing on the summit at this mont, can one gaze upon the perilous peaks and the secluded deep valleys hidden within.
Earlier, his attention was wholly on Bi Fang, and he hadn’t noticed the unique features of this Floating Mountain.
Such a large Floating Mountain, surprisingly with not a blade of grass or tree.
Yet, it cannot be deed a barren mountain.
Formidable rocks jut forth, each presenting a unique spectacle.
Stone columns rise like forests, massive stones sit like ditative Buddhas.
Even clear streams and white stones, hot springs shrouded in mist can be seen.
As far as one can see, beautiful white jade and blue-green gems are scattered everywhere, adorning the Floating Mountain with an exceptional beauty.
Jiang Wang’s face couldn’t help but break into a smile.
Look at this! The ground paved with white jade, and gems everywhere! How can there be a scarcity of valuables on this Floating Mountain?
With Bi Fang gone, no one around, the treasures of this mountain should indeed be enjoyed solely!
He chose to fly high above, directly heading for the mountain top, specifically for the treasures there.
However, overlooking the vicinity of the summit, indeed there was not much particularly special to be seen.
The beauty of white jade and gems, though impressive, was no longer that unique to Lord Jiang.
His steps lightened up, traversing swiftly through the air, even activating the Qianyang Red Pupil once more, simply to enhance his eyesight a bit, striving not to miss any treasures.
From the summit straight downward, the montum was akin to a fierce tiger descending from the mountain.
As a newly evolved Divine Skills amalgam, the Qianyang Red Pupil effect moderately enhances eyesight, moderately increases insight ability, stabilizes and rapidly releases Samadhi True Fire, and retains the soul attack capability of the Qian Yang Eye.
With Qianyang Red Pupil activated, viewing in all directions is no idle boast.
Jiang Wang moved swiftly and looked swiftly, never pausing.
With his garnt floating, striding among rock forests, he suddenly heard a crisp sound.
Clang~!
An unknown Foreign Beast leapt out from nowhere, precisely standing atop the stone pillar directly in front.
Witnessing the Beast shaped like a panther, its body entirely red, a single horn on its head, with five tails swaying behind.
It rested its paws on the stone pillar, crouched low, staring at Jiang Wang, making a threatening low growl.
The sound was like stones striking, crisp and cold.
Jiang Wang only felt a chill surge towards his Heavenly Spirit, the confidence just built from erecting the second Star Tower and achieving the Qianyang Red Pupil suddenly dissipated without a trace.
Without a word, he turned and fled.
There was indeed another Foreign Beast on this Floating Mountain!
By now he had sufficiently profound recognition—
The Foreign Beasts within the Mountain and Sea Realm, he basically couldn’t afford to provoke any of them.
Those wandering solitary possessed at least God-coming strength, and if they gathered, it was even more outrageous, their leaders often more fierce and cunning, Trident being the typical one among them.
Not to ntion testing strength briefly, Jiang Wang didn’t even attempt to communicate, instantly taking to his heels.
Finally having obtained Bi Fang’s essence blood and Huo Dou’s essence blood, if he were struck dead just like this, it would really be unwise. Without the Nine Chapter Jade Bi, he understood well enough that the things acquired in the Mountain and Sea Realm couldn’t be taken out.
He’s simply unsure whether the fire lotus he ate on the Volcano Island would have its dicinal power diminished by the rules of the Mountain and Sea Realm…
Curiosity aside, Jiang Wang was never willing to test it with his own body.
Once ingested, how could he possibly spit it out?
‘Clang!’
A sound resonates in his ear, the breath of the Evil Beast seemingly getting close to his back.
Jiang Wang dived directly forward, only sensing a gust of evil wind sweep overhead.
His Red Pupil hastily glanced upwards, a strand of Samadhi True Fire rose up in a wave, spreading into a fine web of fire in mid-air, open-mouthed and clawed, attempting to ensnare the Evil Beast.
anwhile, before hitting the ground, he spun deftly around the stone pillar, taking another route.
He absolutely did not venture into open areas, fully utilizing the agility of Walk in the Sky Immortal Technique, stick to darting among the stone forests.
Running at an astounding speed and with great familiarity…
After all, Jiang Soone was not new to being chased by Foreign Beasts, he definitely had so experience.
How to escape, how to change direction, these all had techniques!
Nevertheless, the five-tailed Evil Beast plunged down directly, crushing the fire web.
Such a level of Samadhi True Fire surely caused it no damage, but its fur touching the fire resulted in an imdiate flash of fear in its eyes.
Originally sleeping dormant within the cave to accumulate strength, awakened due to the call of a certain being.
Just awakened found a human climbing the mountain, thus ca off to hunt.
Yet this fire…
This was the ‘fire of an old friend’.
Bi Fang, that fellow, always ferocious, but what relation did it have with this two-legged beast?
How could it permit such freedom of running atop the mountain?
It seems that much had transpired within the Mountain and Sea Realm during its slumber, whether they were prepared or not…
As its five tails swayed, it thought much, but paused only briefly in mid-air.
It could pursue, or choose not to pursue.
Yet during that brief pause, that human figure, like a green bird threading through the forest, had actually vanished from sight.
It blinked in surprise, walking back.
That two-legged scoundrel, although of diocre strength, ran astonishingly fast!
