Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 638 - 361: Panwu Great Strength! Creation of Heaven and Earth! (Part 2)

But at this moment, whether it was the elders specializing in Alchemy and Artifact Refining or the Inner Sect Disciples who were resting and cultivating, they were almost all gathered before the True Inheritance Tower.

Their conversations were filled with speculation about who had entered.

Compared to the servant disciples, their information was undoubtedly more well-informed, quickly excluding each guess the servant disciples had made.

"Brother Jiang was caught in the crossfire during a city-guarding battle between Nirvana Realm elders and Transformation Realm Great Demons, sustaining heavy injuries, so it's definitely impossible for him to choose advancement now. Moreover, the sect's tenth True Inheritor had seventy-two Divine Skills when advancing at that time. Many of these skills are closely interconnected, and essential skills complement each other. Even if Brother Jiang breaks through, he might not necessarily advance to True Inheritor; it's just a possibility."

"Yes, on my way back to the sect, I heard news about Brother Zhao as well. He slew a Primordial Pill Realm genius from the Demon Sect, soul-searching and gaining numerous Divine Skills. He's currently cultivating one Heavenly Rank Divine Power, and once completed, his strength might even exceed Brother Wu's at that time. But who knows how long he'll take to cultivate this Divine Power. Looking at it now, he likely won't have time to return to the sect for a True Inheritance advancement."

"There's no denying that a great era is upon us; all top three on the True Inheritor Seed ranking have a chance to advance to True Inheritor. Previously, even the first was defeated by a mere move."

"Other sects aren't lagging either; don't forget Dao Yi Sect's Yi Meng Dao, who instantly became Dao Yi Sect's second True Inheritor. However, Brother Jiang hasn't advanced to the Nirvana Realm. If Brother Jiang advances to Nirvana, he'll undoubtedly become True Martial Sect's first True Inheritor. But I wonder how Brother Jiang is doing lately? Have any brothers just returned from the Endless Sea to share his status?"

"No idea. Brother Jiang, although in the Primordial Pill Realm, isn't on the front lines with us. No one's mentioned seeing Brother Jiang; perhaps he's in continuous seclusion. Given that Brother Jiang has cultivated ninety-nine Divine Skills to an extreme, if he chooses to break through now, he's likely to encounter the terrifying Wind and Fire Tribulation, which surely requires ample preparation."

"Indeed, ninety-nine Divine Skills—hard to imagine. If Brother Jiang truly advances to Nirvana, how glorious would it be? Other sects' newly advanced True Inheritors seem to have slain Transformation Realm Great Demons. If Brother Jiang were a Nirvana Realm True Monarch, he'd have to slay at least three or four Transformation Realm Great Demons, wouldn't he?"

"Brother Jiang cultivated to the Primordial Pill Realm with almost no reliance on the sect—solely through external fortune and resources. If he advances to True Inheritor this time, with sect resources tilted in his favor, Brother Jiang—no, Jiang True Inheritor's Realm—would ascend rapidly."

"No rush. Generally, an hour or two after the bell tolls, the True Inheritor will walk out from the True Inheritance Tower. We'll know at a glance. For now, it's merely a matter of waiting, perfect timing to contemplate challenges in cultivation and exchange insights with fellow disciples."

Outside the True Inheritance Tower, after chatting for a while, some Inner Sect Disciples began exchanging their Divine Skills and verifying their learnings, sporadically sharing their wartime findings, the weaknesses of Primordial Pill Realm Demon Beasts, and the terror of Transformation Realm Great Demons.

The elders' expressions varied, knowing more than the Inner Sect Disciples.

Typically, the True Inheritance Tower's Artifact Spirit senior determines the True Inheritor's identity, allowing the True Inheritor to choose a Daoist Scripture to lay out the path for subsequent cultivation.

The more superior the Daoist Scripture, the longer the True Inheritor's comprehension time required.

Like last time, Wu Tianming, the Wu True Inheritor, only walked out two hours after the bell tolled.

This time, since the bell tolled, nearly an hour has passed, yet no True Inheritor has emerged— could the True Inheritor be comprehending something other than a Lower Grade Daoist Scripture?

Several elders exchanged glances and looked towards the elders of Thunder Prison Peak.

Though some Inner Sect Disciples on the True Inheritor Seed ranking have some chance to advance to True Inheritor, chances are they'll obtain only a Lower Grade Daoist Scripture.

To stay inside longer requires comprehending a Middle-grade or even Upper Grade Daoist Scripture.

A name that has been circulating around them for years begins to surface again.

Jiang Shu!

Within the Primordial Pill Realm, Jiang Shu who cultivated ninety-nine Divine Skills, swept Divine Power Conference unbeatable!

If it is truly him, once he advances to Nirvana and overcomes the Wind and Fire Tribulation, his strength might be terrifying, even compared to theirs!

One hour.

Two hours.

For Nirvana Realm Elders and Primordial Pill Realm Inner Sect Disciples, such time amounts to nothing.

Discussing a Divine Skill sometimes requires several days and nights, hence little regard is given as some sit cross-legged, others gather in small groups, exchanging insights just outside the True Inheritance Tower.

The wind breezes, and the clouds roil.

Inside the True Inheritance Tower.

Jiang Shu falls into boundless darkness; he doesn't know how long he has been immersed in the dark, only feeling wholly enveloped.

Like being inside an eggshell.

This feeling is extremely uncomfortable, preventing any outward flight, confined to one spot, feeling like both an experiencer and a spectator.

Chaos Qi surrounds him; although its quality surpasses external Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

He can breathe within this Chaos Qi; his wounds visibly recover, his two hundred and six bones turn jade-colored. Blood surges, coursing like a river, boiling like fire. Inside, every acupoint is stimulated by the Chaos Qi as his physical power continuously increases.

Even the seemingly unstable spiritual power, heightened by devouring a Transformation Realm Demon Soul using Kunpeng Swallowing Technique during the battle on Green Simurgh Island, gradually solidifies within this Chaos Qi.

He has an intuition that, having cultivated here for a short time, he feels like meditating externally for sixty years, stabilizing his Realm completely.

But this isn't what he desires.

For he senses an innate claustrophobia here.

An oppressive feel.

"This Chaos Qi is nearly endless. Cultivating here might propel me swiftly to Nirvana Realm Late Stage. The terrifying Nirvana Thunder Tribulation, my Five Elements Chaotic Thunder Tribulation Dragon Transformation Technique can entirely resist."

"But is this cultivation truly good? I can enhance from Chaos Qi yet will be assimilated by it, gradually unifying with this world— is this how one obtains the highest Daoist Scripture?"

"No... absolutely not."

"Lower Grade Daoist Scriptures shape into Demon Beasts, Middle-grade Daoist Scriptures into mountains and great rivers, Upper Grade Scriptures into sun, moon, and stars." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Then what is this Supreme Daoist Scripture... an entire world?"

"Only delving into it will lead to influence by the Daoist Scripture; truly, the Daoist Scripture is an entire course, in and out, really attaining the Tao!"

"If I'm perpetually trapped inside, I'm merely entering, not exiting. What I must do now is..."

Jiang Shu closes his eyes, reflecting repeatedly on his clash with the Artifact Spirit.

He senses something as he reaches out.

The surrounding Chaos Qi responds, gradually condensing into an axe under Jiang Shu's spiritual power's influence.

He tightens his grip; his internal impulse nears an apex in the oppressive space.

Suddenly, Jiang Shu swings outward!

Resolute! Decisive! Without hesitation!

The swing unleashes every power from his bones, tendons, muscles, blood marrow, acupoints!

Rip!

Light emerges within darkness!

Subsequently, heaven and earth explode open, the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and great rivers then evolve.

At creation's dawn, vast Chaos Qi divides into yin-yang and Five Elements, transforming into Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, spreading outward.

Minuscule life forms nurture within.

Underneath the light, Jiang Shu stands tall like a giant, stretching limbs proudly in the air.

All claustrophobia and suppression suddenly vanish.

He still grasps the axe formed by Chaos Qi.

Compared to the beginning, this axe now carries a familiar aura.

Jiang Shu holds it tightly as enormous information surges into his mind.

This is..."Panwu Great Strength Dao Book"!
