Chapter 741 A Pie Falling from the Sky
Jiang Wang's expression changed drastically, his voice filled with panic: "Oh no! Your target is my sea of consciousness! System, save me! This Primordial Ghost is too strange, formless and intangible, and it can devour the sea of consciousness. I can't resist it at all!"
[Ding! Detected that the host has been attacked by a Primordial Specter. The Primordial Specter is formless and intangible, adept at devouring souls and Primordial Qi. The Vermilion Bird Fire can temporarily intimidate its true form. It is recommended that the host immediately release the Vermilion Bird Fire to envelop the entire body, while simultaneously circulating the Nine Extremes Primordial Qi Technique to protect the sea of consciousness with Primordial Qi. In addition, the host can use the Primordial Strike to force out the Primordial Specter's true form with the help of the power of Primordial Qi.]
Jiang Wang dared not delay and immediately followed the system's instructions to release the Vermilion Bird Flame, enveloping his entire body. The blazing red light formed a solid barrier, blocking the cold power. At the same time, he activated the Nine Extremes Primordial Chaos Technique, gathering all the primordial energy within his body into his sea of consciousness to protect his soul.
"Hehe, little guy, you've got a pretty quick reaction,"
The Primordial Ghost's voice held a hint of surprise, then turned cold. "However, that's not enough. Your Vermilion Bird Flame may temporarily intimidate me, but it won't last long. Your Primordial Qi will eventually be devoured by me. Today, you will surely die!"
After he finished speaking, the chilling power became even stronger and attacked Jiang Wang's barrier, constantly crashing against the barrier formed by the Vermilion Bird Fire. The red light on the barrier gradually dimmed, and Jiang Wang could feel that his Vermilion Bird Fire was being slowly devoured by the Primordial Ghost, and the Primordial Qi in his body was also being rapidly consumed.
"This is bad! If this continues, my Vermilion Bird Flame and Primordial Chaos Qi will be completely devoured by him sooner or later, and then I will be finished!"
Jiang Wang was extremely anxious, his voice filled with despair, "System, is there any other way? Tell me quickly, I can't die here like this. I haven't cultivated to the Supreme Human Realm yet, I haven't defeated Pangu yet, I haven't received the Heavenly Court's reward yet, I can't die!"
[Ding! Host, there is no need to despair. Although the Primordial Ghost is formless and intangible, its true form depends on the Primordial Qi to survive. As long as the host can gather all the surrounding Primordial Qi to form a Primordial Vortex, the host can force out its true form. At that time, the host can use the Primordial Strike to kill it.]
Additionally, the system can temporarily empower the host with primordial energy, helping them gather primordial energy and form a primordial vortex.
Hearing this, Jiang Wang's hope was rekindled, and his tone was full of urgency: "Alright! Quickly add the power of the Primordial Chaos, and I will gather the surrounding Primordial Chaos energy to form a Primordial Chaos vortex, force out his true form, and then kill him!"
[Ding! The power of Primordial Chaos has been successfully applied. The host may begin gathering Primordial Chaos Qi.]
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang felt a powerful primordial energy surging out from his body. He immediately activated the Nine Extremes Primordial Qi Technique, gathering all the surrounding primordial energy into his palm, forming a huge primordial vortex. The vortex spun, emitting a powerful suction force, continuously drawing in the surrounding primordial energy. Even that cold, sinister power was drawn into the vortex.
"No! Impossible! How could you gather so much primordial energy? How could you form a primordial vortex?"
The voice of the Primordial Ghost was filled with panic and despair. He could feel his own body being drawn into the Primordial Vortex. He tried to break free, but he couldn't. "Little guy, let me go! I'll never dare to devour you again. I'll leave the Auspicious Realm right now and never come back. Please let me go!"
Jiang Wang sneered, his tone full of mockery: "Now you're scared? Where were you before? When you tried to devour me, didn't you think this day would come? Today, I'll kill you to prevent future troubles and keep you from harming others!"
After saying that, Jiang Wang increased his power, gathering more Primordial Qi into the Primordial Vortex. The suction force of the Primordial Vortex became stronger and stronger. Before long, a faint black mist emerged from the Primordial Vortex. The black mist was elusive and was the true form of the Primordial Ghost.
"found it!"
Jiang Wang was overjoyed, his tone filled with determination, "Primordial Ghost, prepare to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang activated the third level of the Nine Extremes Primordial Chaos Technique, gathering all the Primordial Chaos Qi in his body into his palm and simultaneously merging it with the Vermilion Bird Fire. He then unleashed the Primordial Chaos Strike, a blazing and domineering force, carrying the power of the Primordial Chaos Qi and the Vermilion Bird Fire, shot towards the Primordial Chaos Ghost's true form.
"no, do not want!"
The Primordial Ghost let out a shrill scream, trying to escape, but it was firmly sucked in by the Primordial Vortex and could not move at all. It could only watch helplessly as the Primordial Strike shot towards it.
With a deafening roar, the Primordial Strike struck the Primordial Ghost's true form. The black mist instantly exploded, turning into countless tiny fragments that dissipated into the air and vanished completely. The Primordial Ghost had been successfully killed by Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang breathed a sigh of relief, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. The primordial energy within him was almost completely exhausted, and the Vermilion Bird Flame had become extremely weak. His face was full of exhaustion, but his tone was full of relief: "Finally... finally killed him. This primordial ghost was too strange; it almost devoured me. Fortunately, the system helped, otherwise, I would really have died here."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for defeating the Primordial Ghost. Rewards: Primordial Qi +3000, Great Dao Comprehension +500, Primordial Comprehension Value +5000, Technique Comprehension Progress +5%, Current Comprehension Progress: 17%.]
As the system notification faded, Jiang Wang felt a warm, soothing power surge from within him, repairing his fatigue. At the same time, the primordial energy within him was rapidly recovering, and his progress in comprehending the cultivation technique increased to 17%, bringing him one step closer to comprehending the fourth level.
Jiang Wang slowly stood up, stretched his body, and felt the fatigue gradually dissipate. His tone was full of surprise: "Great! I have received so many rewards again, and my progress in comprehending the cultivation technique has also improved. Now, I can break through to the late Golden Immortal stage and comprehend the fourth level of the Nine Extremes Primordial Technique even faster."
Just then, his communication talisman suddenly lit up. It was a message from Taibai Jinxing. Jiang Wang immediately took out the talisman, infused it with a trace of primordial energy, and Taibai Jinxing's voice immediately appeared on the talisman: "Little Tu, something bad has happened. The Jade Emperor has received news that in addition to Taotie, there are other chaotic beasts rushing towards the myriad realms. Among them, there is a chaotic beast named Qiongqi, whose strength is even greater than Taotie. It has already broken through to the early stage of the Saint Realm. The Jade Emperor has dispatched Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, to lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to protect the Auspicious Realm. They are expected to arrive soon. Be prepared to assist Li Jing in protecting the Auspicious Realm."
Jiang Wang's expression changed, his tone filled with shock: "What? There are other chaotic beasts? Qiongqi? Early Saint Realm? How is this possible? Even Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, might not be able to withstand a chaotic beast at the early Saint Realm, right? And what use are the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals?"
On the communication talisman, Taibai Jinxing's voice appeared again: "Don't worry, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, has profound cultivation and has reached the mid-stage of the Saint Realm. He also has 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, all of whom are the elite of the Heavenly Court. Although Qiongqi is only at the early stage of the Saint Realm, he can still hold out for a while. In addition, the Jade Emperor has also invited Laozi to come and help. Laozi is at the peak of the Saint Realm. As long as he arrives, he can easily suppress Qiongqi. You only need to assist them and guard the boundary of the Auspicious Realm to prevent other chaotic beasts from entering."
Jiang Wang breathed a sigh of relief, his tone revealing a hint of understanding: "I see. With Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and Laozi coming to help, I'm relieved. However, Qiongqi in the early stage of the Saint Realm is not so easy to deal with. I need to improve my cultivation as soon as possible and familiarize myself with the power of the Primordial Chaos Strike and the Vermilion Bird Fire so that I can be of help and not hold them back."
"That's right, you should improve your cultivation level as soon as possible,"
Taibai Jinxing's voice rang out again, "Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, along with 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and Laozi, are expected to arrive in the Auspicious Realm in three days. During this time, cultivate diligently and prepare yourself. Also, I've already spoken to Li Jing about your situation; he will take good care of you and won't let you do anything too dangerous." Jiang Wang nodded, "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely cultivate diligently, prepare myself, assist you, and protect the Auspicious Realm, preventing the Chaos Beasts from taking advantage. By the way, Taibai Jinxing, does Laozi have many treasures? Like golden pills or magic weapons? Could you help me obtain one? It would also help improve my strength."
Taibai Jinxing's voice carried a hint of helplessness: "You brat, you're still so greedy. However, I'll try my best to ask Taishang Laojun for you. As for whether he'll give you the treasure, that depends on your luck. Alright, I have other things to do, so I won't say any more. You should cultivate well. We'll meet at the border of the Auspicious Realm in three days."
"Okay, no problem."
Jiang Wang nodded. "Don't worry, I will arrive on time. When I do, don't forget to ask Laozi for the treasure for me."
After speaking, the light of the communication talisman gradually faded. Jiang Wang put away the talisman, a smile of excitement spreading across his face. His tone was full of murmurs: "Taishang Laojun's treasure? Just thinking about it is exciting! If I could obtain one of Taishang Laojun's magic weapons, my strength would definitely increase significantly. Even a Qiongqi at the early Saint Realm would be able to contend with me. There are still three days left; I must seize the time to cultivate and break through to the late Golden Immortal stage!"
"This……"
Jiang Wang was startled, his tone tinged with disbelief. He scratched his chin, his fingertips brushing against the edge of the celebrity's mask, making a soft rubbing sound. "You mean, the hundreds of thousands of years I spent in the Hidden Realm don't even count as a day here with the system?"
The host is right.
The system's voice remained the same flat, mechanical tone, without any inflection: "[The Hidden Realm is an independent space, and its time flow is completely different from that of the Primordial Human Realm, with a ratio as high as one in a million.]"
You spent 500,000 years in the Hidden Realm, which translates to only 5,000 days in the prehistoric human world, less than fourteen years.
"Five thousand days?"
Jiang Wang's eyes widened, the smile on his lips instantly froze, he raised his hand and patted his forehead, his tone full of helplessness, "So, I've been cultivating desperately in the Hidden Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, but I couldn't even survive the cooldown period here? If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed in the Primordial Human Realm for a few more years, and I wouldn't be in such a passive position now."
[Host, there's no need to be upset.]
The system's voice rang out at the opportune moment, interrupting Jiang Wang's complaints: "[This hidden quest has been triggered, with generous rewards, including items that shorten cooldown time. However, you can only claim them after completing the quest.]"
Jiang Wang's eyes lit up, and he instantly perked up. He took a step forward, the bluestone floor beneath his feet creaking slightly.
He spoke faster, his tone urgent: "Oh? There's such a good thing? Tell me quickly, what kind of item is it? How much does it shorten the cooldown time? Can it completely reset the cooldown time of Escape?"
[The item is called a Cooldown Reduction Pill. One pill can shorten the cooldown time of any system function by one thousand years. The base reward for this hidden quest includes three pills.]
The system paused, then added, "[If the host can exceed the mission's requirements, they will receive two more, enough to shorten the cooldown of the Escape from Despair by five thousand years. At that time, the host will only need to wait another nine thousand years to use this function again.]"
More than nine thousand years?
Jiang Wang frowned, his fingers unconsciously tapping his thigh, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction, "It's still too long. Who knows how long I'll stay in the Great Dao Secret Realm this time? If I really encounter danger, nine thousand years is enough time for me to die a hundred or eighty times."
Therefore, the host needs to upgrade the "Hide and See" skill.
The system's voice remained calm: "[The current Hidden Head and Revealed Tail skill is at its top level, capable of concealing 99% of one's cultivation and law aura, but it is still insufficient in the face of the Great Dao's will.]"
If one can upgrade to the Origin Level, one can perfectly conceal all one's aura, including Great Dao talents and Primordial Chaos Power. Even if the Great Dao's Will itself investigates, it will be unable to detect any flaws.
Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with disdain, and scoffed, "Origin level? Sounds impressive, but what are the requirements for upgrading? It's not going to cost a lot of experience points again, is it? I remember last time I upgraded Hidden Head and Show Tail, it cost me billions of experience points, and I don't have that many experience points left now."
This upgrade requires no experience points.
The system said, "The Great Dao Secret Realm is filled with rich Great Dao Origin Power. The host only needs to absorb enough Great Dao Origin Power to upgrade the Hidden Head and Revealed Tail skill to the Origin level."
Moreover, absorbing the power of the Great Dao's origin also greatly benefits the host's cultivation and comprehension of the laws, making it a win-win situation.
"No experience points required?"
Jiang Wang's face lit up with surprise. He clapped his hands and exclaimed excitedly, "This is wonderful! It can upgrade skills and improve cultivation at the same time. It's like a windfall!"
Shall I begin absorbing the power of the Great Dao's origin now? (End of Chapter)
