Chapter Thirteen: Welcoming the Violet Qi in the Morning, In

Qin Guang, who had no gates to hell, Yue Leng naturally wouldn't have any sympathy. After finishing the binding, he naturally reached out with his right hand to remove this head—there was no point in...The sun finally sank in the west, and the whole earth sighed into night.

In the Tongtian Palace, even that tiny earthworm finally completed its long journey and spat out a perfectly round and plump Dao Yuan.

The best time for cultivation is at dawn and dusk, when the sun is neither scorching nor too harsh. It warms without burning, especially protecting the meridians well for beginners. There have been cases of practitioners cultivating at midday and suffering from heartfire being ignited by the sun's true fire, leading to burns and damaged meridians.

This is what is called greeting the purple qi in the morning and attracting red glow at dusk.

Even though Jiang Wang had trained in martial arts since childhood, he could feel his qi and blood being squeezed to a critical point. Any further would damage his vital energy. The earthworm inside the Tongtian Palace also looked somewhat listless.

Of course, at this critical point, the body wouldn't feel weak either. Dao Yuan nurtured in Tongtian Palace, seemed like tiny hearts, pumping power ceaselessly.

This made Jiang Wang profoundly realize the teachings he had received in class. From Qi and Blood power to the birth of Dao Yuan, this was a sublimation of power, the prerequisite for humans to transcend ordinary limits.

It is said that true martial artists do not cultivate the Tao, but rather purely temper their physique and forge their qi and blood. That is another path altogether.

In today's world, feudal lords rise and fall, numerous sects stand tall, and a hundred schools of thought contend. It can be said to be an era of flourishing cultivation. Of course, for Jiang Wang who lives in Zhuang State, he has no other choice.

Jiang Wang carefully manipulated Dao Yuan's movements within the Palace of Heavenly Ascension, filling in the Zhoutian Xingdou Array diagram which had long since been ingrained in his heart. This process was not easy. After all, like qi and blood, the power of one's spirit also has its limits at a certain stage.

>For cultivators like Jiang Wang who have just embarked on the path of transcendence, moving twice a day is already their limit. Any more would lead to mental fatigue, and in severe cases, it could even damage their sanity.

Jiang Wangshen knew very well that the foundation formation diagram he had chosen took a long time to complete, so he was especially careful not to waste any time, treading carefully like on thin ice. If there was even a slight mistake, he would have to start all over again.

But he didn't give himself time to start over.

He only has two chances a day to arrange the star points, and he can't miss even one! Even though the Zhoutian Xingdou Array is much more complicated and difficult than the Guiyuan Array.

If someone were to cultivate alongside Jiang Wang, choosing the Guiyuan Zhen Tu as their foundation, then upon perfecting all the formation points, they would undoubtedly progress faster than Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang didn't know if his choice was right or wrong, but since he had made the choice, there was no reason to look back. He could only move forward and do his best.

Fortunately, he did a good job. After the last pulse cultivation of the day ended, dozens of Dao Yuan hung in the Tiangong Palace, each full and plump like mature rice in an autumn paddy field, emitting the scent of harvest. These would all be his resources for "ascending to heaven".

However, for Jiang Wang, he still had one important thing to do.

The dormitory was empty at this time. Both Ling He and Du Yehu had gone on missions. As they had already been accepted as disciples, they naturally craved the opening meridian pills more than ever.

And Jiang Wang's heart sank, already entering the Taixu Illusionary Realm.

Today is the 15th of July, a day of challenge in the month. If nothing unexpected happens, he will face the challenge from the Jade Altar Master today. He will successfully — downgrade.

Still the familiar scene, the great starry sky.

Jiang Wang sat cross-legged, silently watching the shadow of the sundial, waiting for the moment the challenge would arrive.

He wanted to witness firsthand the true strength of the world's powerful. Although he had "heard" such intense confrontations in the Zhenguan, he had never seen it with his own eyes. Dong An's attack that time was overwhelming, and his opponent offered no resistance.

Floating amidst the stars, he felt his heart expand with them.

Humanity's first gaze upon the stars marked the beginning of its charge. Compared to the vastness of the starry river, everything in the human world seems so small and illusory.

After an unknown amount of time, five ink characters appeared on the sundial's shadow: Challenger forfeits.

Jiang Wang's heart felt a little lighter, yet there was an inexplicable sense of regret.

He kept the merit generated by the Dong Zhenxu blessed land this month, but that might be only because of the formidable deterrence of the previous land master. That blazing figure named Zuo Guanglie!

Those who enter the Illusory Realm of Taixu usually conceal their identities in the real world. Besides themselves, no one knows what kind of reputation they have in the Illusory Realm of Taixu. Therefore, very few people know that the master of the Dongzhen Ruins in the Illusory Realm of Taixu is actually Zuo Guanglie, the great Chu Tianjiao (prodigy) of the real world. Now, even fewer people would know this. Even if someone had previously accurately guessed his identity based on his fighting style, they would have to overturn their assumptions now.

Because generally speaking, when people in the mortal realm die, their identities in the Illusory Realm of Taixu disappear. But Zuo Guanglie's powerful urging of Zhun Rong's true form almost pierced through time and space, and due to a strong obsession that entangled him, all these factors intertwined, resulting in an accident. This caused the Illusory Realm of Taixu to fail to recover the phantom key in time, and it was branded by Jiang Wang instead. He therefore inherited everything Zuo Guanglie had in the Illusory Realm of Taixu.

Blessed Land Twenty-Three, Cave True Ruins! This month's production: 1850 points.

"The Stage of Performance." Jiang Wang silently recited in his heart.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

A bamboo desk materialized out of thin air before him, yet it didn't seem out of place at all. It appeared as natural as a crop growing from the soil, though the process itself was overlooked.

On the bamboo desk, there was nothing but an open jade book. At this moment, it was blank.

Jiang Wang had once experienced this: as long as he visualized the martial arts technique he wanted to deduce and then invested corresponding effort, the deduced martial arts technique would appear on the jade book. The foundational array diagram Zhoutian Xingdou Array was obtained through deducing the Guiyuan Array.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Nowadays, the foundation diagram is not yet established, and the Dao Cycle has not been born. The Dao Yuan is used one by one, less by one. It is unrealistic to deduce the Dao techniques naturally. Even if it was Jiang Wang himself, he only simulated in his heart and never truly practiced Dao techniques. After all, in the early stage of cultivation, Dao Yuan is too precious.

But we cannot let our accomplishments sit idle, waiting for the future. Remember that the path of cultivation is one where if you don't progress, you regress. Tomorrow and unexpected events may come at any time, so striving to be as strong as possible in each stage is the right approach.

Jiang Wang pondered for a moment, then from among the few sword techniques he excelled at, chose one with a fierce and sharp style to deduce.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

And the cost of consumption is 1850 points!

The whole nation of Zhuang was focused on Taoism and disregarded martial arts. But Jiang Wang didn't have a choice at this stage, with his foundation still unformed, he wouldn't dare use even powerful Taoist techniques.

Since choosing to strengthen swordsmanship, one should do so with all their might and without reservation.

On the qingzhu case, the jade book instantly surged with countless characters. These were common sword techniques that Jiang Wang had learned from the outer sect of Fenglin City Daoist Academy. Besides being sharp, there was nothing outstanding about them. But at this moment, as the sundial's virtual shadow's numbers kept decreasing, the characters on the jade book on the qingzhu case began to change frantically.

Jiang Wang gazed intently, the words seemed to evolve into a figure, drawing its sword and dancing. The dance grew faster and faster, finally blurring into one mass.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but squint her eyes, feeling a strange sensation as if she were being pricked by sharp edges!

When he blinked and looked again, the words on the jade book had quieted down. Before him appeared a profound sword technique that he had never seen before, nor could he have imagined!

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

At the outer gate, Jiang Wang was widely recognized as the best swordsman. But now, as he flipped through this sword manual, he suddenly felt that everything he had practiced before was just peasant farming techniques, only suitable for plowing fields!

The numbers on the sundial's shadow had reached zero, yet Jiang Wang let out a satisfied sigh.
