the youth in the splendid robe had a gloomy expression, remaining silent.
“Guang Shu,” a middle-aged beautiful woman entered, asking with concern, “Why did you send away the servants?
What happened?”
The youth forced a smile, evidently reluctant to speak, but managed to reply, “I lost a match and felt disgraced.
I didn’t want to be seen.”
He didn’t specify where or to whom he had lost, yet the beautiful woman seed to know about the Taixu Illusion Realm.
Upon hearing this, she tried to offer comfort, “Don’t take a single victory or defeat to heart too much, everyone loses at tis.”
The youth in the splendid robe beca even more annoyed, raising his voice, “Just because others have lost, my loss is justified, is that it?”
“That’s not what mother ans,” the middle-aged woman explained, “Considering you’ve achieved such strength within a year of opening your ridians, you’ve worked hard already.
Moreover, this is your first defeat.”
“Is that so?” the youth retorted coldly, “Having built such a solid foundation before opening my ridians, and now, I can’t even be the first among my peers!”
In a gentle voice, the middle-aged woman said, “With the vast world full of talented individuals, who can claim to be forever the best?
You didn’t use the Heaven Essence Grand Pill when opening your ridians, which inevitably ans you’re at a congenital disadvantage…”
“Stop making excuses for !” the youth in the splendid robe stord off.
However, just before leaving the courtyard, he threw back a final remark, “Weak is weak, I can face it, but I won’t always be this weak!”
The middle-aged woman was montarily stunned.
Only after a while did she sigh towards the deserted courtyard, “My foolish child.
There are limits to human capabilities, even if…
why must you be so hard on yourself?”
…
…
With a series of victories and having earned a renowned na among the Taixu six-direction cultivators, Jiang Wang accumulated ten thousand and ten rit points.
Facing that youth in the splendid robe, he wasn’t sure he could win again.
Therefore, he needed to make use of the benefits that ca with the six-direction cultivator’s renowned na as soon as possible.
The effect of adding a layer to the performance stage allowed him to directly employ a three-layered performance platform to deduce cultivation techniques.
Compared with a two-layered platform, a three-layered one evidently could offer superior choices.
However, there were certain limitations.
Because every cultivation technique and Dao Technique has its limits.
So might have already reached their limits at two layers, so even if the platform were raised to three layers, there would be no room for improvent.
Jiang Wang examined his own Dao Technique system; the techniques that currently needed improvent and had both the space and value for enhancent were mainly four.
Control-class Dao Technique, “Five Qi Tiger Binding.”
Area-of-effect-class Dao Technique, “Sea of Fla Flowers.”
Enhancent-class Dao Technique, “Thorn Crown.”
Tracking-class Dao Technique, “Recollection.”
Ranked in descending order of need.
As for the other Dao Techniques, so had no value for improvent, such as “Vine Snake Enwalling”; others had potential for advancent but not enough to justify the effort, for example, after “Sea of Fla Flowers,” one could inevitably deduce “Fla Flower Burning City,” but that required an absolute amount of ability which was insufficient; or so would exceed Jiang Wang’s current capability to control once improved, which would be pointless, like “Eight Sounds Fla Sparrow.”
In terms of needs, more control-class Dao Techniques were naturally better, as were life-saving techniques.
Even after the “Four Spirits Body Refinent,” there was a need for new body refining techniques.
Unfortunately, the performance stage could not conjure sothing out of nothing.
And regarding the Sword Dao, he preferred to develop it from within himself and did not wish to rely on the performance stage.
A gentleman uses tools to his advantage but should not depend entirely on “things” and must always strive for self-improvent.
Among these four techniques, “Five Qi Tiger Binding” evolved from the second-grade top-quality “Tiger Binding” and could perhaps be expanded with the transition from a two-layered platform to a three-layered one.
“Sea of Fla Flowers” was developed by Jiang Wang himself by rging and elevating different techniques, and now it was struggling to keep up with high-level combat, necessitating further refinent and enhancent with the three-layered platform.
The crown of thorns is rely a second-rate superior product, which finds it very difficult to enhance first-rate Dao Techniques.
As for Recollection, it evolved from a third-rate middling Recollection Grass, with an extrely shallow foundation.
Now a second-rate inferior product, it is almost unusable in equal-rank battles, and may not even be able to trace anyone’s whereabouts.
But the need for it cos last.
Only after strengthening the other three Dao Techniques and if there are any efforts left, will it be invested in.
After so deduction, contrary to Jiang Wang’s expectations, among the several Dao Techniques, the Five Qi Tiger Binding consud the least efforts, taking only five hundred points of effort.
Upon inspecting the final changes to the Dao Techniques, Jiang Wang found that it only improved control over the five qi, which was better than nothing.
Perhaps it had reached its limit.
By the ti both the Sea of Fla Flowers and the Crown of Thorns evolved to the inferior level of the first-rate, more than ten thousand effort points had already been exhausted.
Recollection could only wait until next ti.
The sublimated Sea of Fla Flowers strengthened the cycle of creation and extinction of Fla Flowers, enhancing the toughness of the Dao Technique itself.
It seed it would no longer be easily “torn apart”—previously, as a Dao Technique designed to create an advantage on the battlefield, it rarely succeeded in doing so for Jiang Wang.
After the sublimation of the Crown of Thorns, it also beca effective against first-rate Dao Techniques.
Apart from the thorns becoming sowhat sharper, there were no other changes in its outward appearance.
The nas of the two Dao Techniques didn’t even need to be changed.
Having fully familiarized himself with the sublimated Dao Techniques, the improvent in his combat power goes without saying.
On the other hand, the acquisition of the title ‘Cultivator of the Six Harmonies’ led Jiang Wang to speculate about the blessed lands.
Was the secret of the blessed lands revealed only upon the true victory in the challenge for the lands?
Previously, because his blessed land was ‘inherited’ and later continuously downgraded, that part of learning information was forgone…
The more he understood the Taixu Illusion Realm, the more awe he felt for it all.
What kind of person or organization could create such a grand “illusionary realm”?
…
Upon leaving the Taixu Illusion Realm, Jiang Wang did not imdiately imrse himself in battle analysis and cultivation as usual.
Instead, he tidied up his appearance a bit and stepped out of his room.
Today was a special day; Xu Fang’s remains were to be interred.
It must be said that ever since Xu Fang exposed his heart and took his life in the Blue Stone Palace, his body has been lying outside the palace, attracting no concern.
No matter how deserted or cold the Blue Stone Palace was, it was still part of the Emperor Qi’s palace complex.
In such a place, an unclaid corpse seed very eerie.
Emperor Qi’s silence from start to finish made it difficult to grasp the underlying pattern, leaving even the so-called taking sides almost impossible.
The handling of Xu Fang’s remains seed naturally tinged with a political statent.
Few dared to make a rash declaration.
Many were thinking that perhaps the corpse was waiting for Jiang Wuliang to handle it—even though confined, having a corpse lying outside the dwelling was unacceptable.
Jiang Wuliang had enough reasons to do sothing about it, after all, Xu Fang’s act was also a deep stab at him.
But Jiang Wuliang also maintained his silence, as if he knew nothing about the outside world, or perhaps just did not care.
People believe that one should find peace in burial.
Zhongxuan Sheng could not co forward to collect the remains.
For the sa reason, Jiang Wang couldn’t do so either.
As for the Business Alliance…
For the sa suspicion cast upon Zhongxuan Sheng, the Jubao Business Association’s current predicant made the Business Alliance an even more suspect party.
No evidence was needed, only a motive.
There was no need to even ask Qing Xi; he would definitely refuse.
It would just sour his face for no good reason.
For various reasons, even though it weighed on his mind, he could only silently watch as it was.
In the end, it was Xu Xiangqian who stepped forward to resolve this matter.
His reason was simple—a gentleman should not be left without a resting place for his bones.
So, he paid out of his own pocket to bury Xu Fang’s remains.
