Chapter 282: Stellar Pagoda

Name: Jiang Ming.

Cultivation Base: Level 14 (Golden Immortal Realm)

Points Accumulated: 20,857,888 (10,717,888 + 4,080,000 + 6,060,000).

Honors: [Heavenly Immortal Realm: Battle tower (37 stages), Heavenly Ladder (42 levels)]. [True Immortal Realm: The fifth battle tower (Stage 2 to Stage 5), Heavenly Ladder (Level 43 to 45)], [Mystical Immortal Realm: The fifth battle tower (Stage 6 to Stage 9), the sixth battle tower (Stage 1), Heavenly Ladder (Level 46 to 48)]. [Golden Immortal Realm: The sixth battle tower (Stage 2 to Stage 9), the seventh battle tower (Stage 1 to Stage 4), Heavenly Ladder (level 49 to 60).]

On level 61, Jiang Ming’s mind was destroyed and he returned to the lotus platform in the enlightenment sea.

He was rewarded 6,060,000 points for clearing level 49 to level 60.

“Level 55 to level 63 belongs to the willpower of a Quasi-Sage, and considering the strength of my soul, I should be able to reach level 63. Unfortunately, there are too few special abilities about souls. Right now, I can only defend passively and it’s already very good for me to reach level 60,” Jiang Ming said to himself.

Compared to the battle tower, there was still room of improvement for the Heavenly Ladder.

He sat in a lotus position and began recuperating. After he had regained his health, he flew into the air and came to the square. He walked to an empty area and pulled his couch out.

There were not many people in the square right now.

After a while, Ye Qingxian came up to him. There was a delighted expression on her face as she chirped, “I had no idea that there would be so many people who want to trade, but there aren’t many good items. I guess I should go back to my world and start collecting more. Brother Jiang, is there a time restriction?”

As she was talking, she pulled a ring out and handed it to him. “I spent 45,000 points this time. You should take a look.”

“Cool!” Jiang Ming took the ring and closed his eyes. There was a space as big as a planet filled with many Taiyi Immortal Weapons, Great Overarching Dao Vessels, spiritual roots, pills of immortality, immortal veins, advanced grade divine crystal, ores, and so on in the ring.

There were about 5,000 Taiyi Immortal Weapons, and 200 Great Overarching Dao Vessels.

The fact that Ye Qingxian could exchange them for 40 points per piece showed how wealthy these inheritors were.

Under the circumstances that so much was traded without prior notice and with a small number of people, it was not hard to imagine how intense the ensuing trade would be once word spread.

However, it was something within expectation as well. After all, those who could make it here were elites among the elites.

“Do you see anything you need?” Jiang Ming asked as he waved his ring.

“Yes!” Ye Qingxian replied, “The 1,000 points you gave me are more valuable than any Dao Vessels or pills. I have confidence that I can enter the chat group before I run out of it. At that time, I should be able to earn a lot of points!”

She looked toward the battle tower and the Heavenly Ladder, her gaze blazed with enthusiasm.

Jiang Ming nodded in assent. He had a good impression on Ye Qingxian. She was matured, well-educated, confident, and down-to-earth.

If it were other people, he was certain that they would’ve thrown themselves at him and asked for more.

“Brother Jiang, you haven’t replied to my question yet. Is there a time limit? We don’t have to do anything anymore after the deal is sealed?” Ye Qingxian asked as she sipped from the tea.

“The flow of time here is 10,000 years. Are you sure you can take it?” Jiang Ming asked.

“Don’t worry. It’s just like 10 years in the real world,” Ye Qingxian replied with a grin. “I can take it even if it’s a million years!”

“Alright then!’ Jiang Ming replied, “I’ll decide when the deal is done!”

After that, he transferred 300,000 points to Ye Qingxian.

“You’re really loaded!” Ye Qingxian exclaimed, “I believe none of the people here have more points than you do.”

“Well, this is nothing.”

“Jeez! Stop showing off!”

After both of them had chatted for a while, Jiang Ming returned to the lotus platform on the Dao Enlightenment Sea. He was going to resume his cultivation. He activated the time accelerate mode as well as the Dao Enlightenment Mode.

Ye Qingxian looked at the figure on the lotus platform that was shrouded in the fog. “This should be a special benefit for group members! I must work harder and join the Supreme Immortal Chat Group. Brother Jiang has helped me so much, and I can kill myself if I still can’t get into the group!”

He turned around and returned to the massive stone monument. She forged a timer and left a note on it that read “Next trade will be a thousand years later in the Supreme Pagoda.”

After that, she flew toward the Dao Enlightenment Sea. When she saw Jiang Ming rising to his feet, she frowned in confusion. However, she paid him no mind and landed on a lotus platform. She decided to cultivate here, so she activated the Dao Enlightenment Mode.

Time passed rapidly in the time acceleration mode.

“Another 10,000 years has passed!” Jiang Ming lamented, his voice cold and apathetic.

Suddenly, he sensed a familiar presence and turned his head around. He saw Ye Qingxian was cultivating with her eyes closed. Then, he looked toward the huge stone monument and noticed that there was a timer on it. He couldn’t help himself but chuckle.

Turning his body around, he gazed toward the Heavenly Ladder.

He squinted his eyes, and in the next second, he disappeared from the lotus platform. When he appeared again, he was standing at the 61st level of the Heavenly Ladder which corresponded to the willpower of a Quasi-Sage.

Not only did he receive pressure from the outside, but his soul was being attacked as well.

As soon as Jiang Ming straightened his body, a vast universe appeared in his soul.The river of stars spinned and danced. Suddenly, one after another, all the stars began streaking across the universe and falling down with a mighty power.

Jiang Ming raised his head and looked upward.

As the first barrier of the inner world, it only managed to block the bombardment of nine stars before the world membrane shattered. However, it was considered rather good since the barrier was not a specialized defensive mechanism.

The stars continued to fall. It was as if they wouldn’t stop unless they crushed him.

“There are 72 mores!” Jiang Ming said.

There were a total of 81 stars coming relentlessly at him. Even though his soul was imbued by the soul of the Saint Lord, it was impossible for him to counter the attack.

With that thought in mind, he shouted, “Nine Level Stellar Pagoda! Defend!”

A light that was as bright as the stars above erupted from Jiang Ming’s soul, and formed into the shape of a pagoda around him.

The pagoda had nine levels, and this was the defensive technique he had developed to protect his mind and soul. It was called the Stellar Pagoda.

Bam…

The stars continued to fall, but it did nothing to the Stellar Pagoda. A light flitted across Jiang Ming’s eyes as he looked down at the staircase below him. He let out a grin and said, “I did it! It seems like the stellar defensive technique that I developed by combining the 3,000 laws in the inner world as well as using the Civilization Dao as the foundation is not in vain. It’s truly powerful!”

He raised his feet and continued to mount the staircase.

This time, there were 3,000 sword energies tearing through the air and coming straight at him.

The Stellar Pagoda was able to hold back 2,400 sword energies before it started trembling vigorously.

When it reached the 2,800th sword, the Stellar Pagoda cracked.

In the end, even though it was able to hold back all 3,000 sword energies, the Stellar Pagoda crumbled away.

Jiang Ming cracked his eyes open and there were cold sweats oozing out of his forehead.

He did not continue forward. Instead, he closed his eyes and fell into thought.

On the previous level, it was an attack from 81 stars.

This time, it was 3,000 sword energies.

‘Maybe I can try to absorb the attack to boost up my combat power!’ Jiang Ming thought inwardly.

That being said, it was going to take a long time before he could get it done.

He thought for a long while and stepped on the 63rd step.

On this level, the attack was equivalent to the power of the extreme Quasi-Sage, or otherwise known as the Hemi-Sage or Demi-Sage.
