Chapter 530 - The Glory Name The Strongest Tenglong of Taixu
Chapter 530 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" starts revealing surprises: âAt first glance, this honored name doesnât seem much different from the rewards of other... Read on!
â
At first glance, this honored name doesnât seem much different from the rewards of other Six Harmoniesâ cultivatorsâ honored names, the only difference being a slight increase in the number of cultivation and law points.
But the focus lies in the last reward.
It emphasizes âpossession.â
The reward for the honored name of a Six Harmonies cultivator is âTo maintain this name, one additional layer of effect is added to the Discussion Platform.â
âPossessionâ and âmaintenanceâ represent entirely different values.
When Jiang Wang advanced to the Inner Mansion Realm, the effects brought by the honored name of a Six Harmonies cultivator would disappear, for he would no longer be in the period of âmaintainingâ this name, whereas the effects of the honored name âThe Strongest Ascending Dragon of Taixuâ could continue.
As long as he had once possessed the honored name âThe Strongest Ascending Dragon of Taixu,â the Discussion Platformâs effects could be enhanced by one layer at any time.
During this period, he hadnât contributed much in terms of cultivation techniques and secret techniques to the Discussion Platform, and his âlawâ points had barely increased.
With the additional law points from this honored name reward, it suddenly leaped to two thousand two hundred and thirty-five points.
The ten thousand points required for the third layer enhancement of the Discussion Platform was still a distant goal.
However, because his Taixu Illusion Realm was inherited from Zuo Guanglie, he only needed three thousand points, or thirty percent of the contribution, to unlock it.
With just a few hundred points to go, Jiang Wang couldnât help but consider it.
Nevertheless, due to the overlap of the two honored names, the Discussion Platform he could now use had its effects doubled, reaching the fourth layer.
At this moment, on the virtual shadow of the sundial in the blessed land, next to the name âDugu the Invincible,â in addition to the accumulated cultivation and law points, the honored names he had obtained were also recorded: âThe Strongest Ascending Dragon of Taixu,â âTaixu Six Harmonies Cultivator.â
It looked quite self-satisfying, but Jiang Wang thought that if Zuo Guanglie had still been there, the honored names on the sundial might have been too numerous to list.
After he took over, he had been demoted from the Dongzhen Ruins of the twenty-third blessed land all the way down to the Zao Mountain of the thirty-sixth blessed land, which was indeed nothing to be self-satisfied about.
Having experienced so much, Jiang Wang also tended to dig deeper when contemplating issues.
Setting aside his own gains and looking back at the Taixu Illusion Realm itself, the rules of the Taixu Illusion Realm greatly encouraged the strong, perpetuating their strength.
From the settings of honored names like âThe Strongest Ascending Dragon of Taixu,â Jiang Wang also vaguely sensed that the Taixu Illusion Realm was implementing a rather fair honor system.
As for the benefits of such an honor system, one only needs to look at the ranks of famous artifacts listed by the nations to understand.
Both name and artifact shall not be falsely attributed to anyone.
To some extent, the artifact ranks are an indication of influence, itâs just that nowadays the artifact ranks of the nations lack convincing power.
If the honored names of the Taixu Illusion Realm could be promoted, one day when the Taixu Illusion Realm becomes public, it could immediately possess a much stronger influence.
But once the Taixu Illusion Realm expands to all cultivators, its impact on the present world would be too terrifyingâŚ
Which of those in power would agree?
Those current world overlords would likely not want to see an influence that transcends nations and sects forming.
The Taixu Illusion Realm has managed to survive until now, backed by countless struggles.
And its expansion is certainly not going to be easy.
This is probably why Zhongxuan Sheng said early on that the Taixu Illusion Realm might open up new spaces, but until now there has been no movement.
However, these matters are not for Jiang Wang to worry about, at least not now while he is enjoying the benefits within it, and perhaps in the future, he may enjoy even more.
As for the higher-level issues, since he cannot reach them with a leap, itâs better to let those at a higher level worry about them.
The battle with Zuo Guangshu counted as the first time Jiang Wang took control of a victory on the spiritual soul level, which benefited him greatly.
The only downside was that, having seen the Azure Jiao in Zuo Guangshuâs Tongtian Palace, he found it harder to look at the Star-binding Python, which only knew to hang around in the Star River Dao Spiral all day in his own Tongtian Palace, without feeling dissatisfied.
The Star-binding Python indeed showed a certain level of sentience, but compared to the Azure Jiao that could directly participate in a spiritual fight, there was a clear gap.
Perhaps another advancement was needed, but the elevation of a true spirit of the Dao veins could not be rushed; it is a long process of refinement.
However, this proactive attack using spirit and soul power into Zuo Guangshuâs Tongtian Palace made Jiang Wang realize a few things.
For instance, why Jiang Yan spent all day hiding in the Dark Candle probably had to do with the omnipresent rejection from the Tongtian Palace.
Thus, the Dark Candle that easily âsettledâ in his Tongtian Palace must be more precious than he had imagined.
Reviewing the entire battle with Zuo Guangshu, every detail was worth repeated study.
Although he had defeated Zuo Guangshu once again, there was no way he could underestimate Zuo Guangshuâs power.
Indeed, as he said, the only area where Zuo Guangshu lost was probably the combat instinct accumulated from numerous battles of life and death.
Twice trapped in the âWater Cage,â feeling that omnipresent water, every bit of Water Elemental Power was imbued with Zuo Guangshuâs will.
Jiang Wang had never directly broken through the âWater Cage,â but having personally felt that fine control over the Water Element gave him great insight, especially the practice of the Fire Source Codex deepened his understanding of âfire.â This âunderstandingâ would also be reflected in his combat strength.
Zuo Guangshuâs control over the Water Element was nothing short of perfect.
Before knowing his identity, Jiang Wang would have believed if someone said he was of the Water Race.
After discovering his identity, it was not surprising that he could exert such control.
After all, being the brother of the Great Chuâs pride, Zuo Guanglie, it was natural for him to be a genius.
It would have been more surprising if he had been mediocre.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wang suddenly froze.
He remembered what Zuo Guangshu said at the beginning, âI shouldnât have lost.â
Suddenly, he could understand that statement.
As Zuo Guanglieâs brother, it was inevitable that he would be compared to Zuo Guanglie in every aspect, and of course, he should not lose.
Being in the shadow of Zuo Guanglieâs dazzling brilliance, he inevitably bore tremendous pressure.
Now with Zuo Guanglieâs death, the Zuo Family, as a renowned family in Great Chu, urgently needed to put forth a new prodigy to demonstrate the familyâs undiminished strength, so Zuo Guangshu had even more reason not to lose.
Indeed, he had reasons not to lose to anyone of his level.
After finishing a dayâs cultivation, when he found Zhongxuan Sheng, he was instructing several subordinates with somethingâvarious measures to strike at Zhongxuan Zunâs businesses.
These could be considered confidential, but Shi Si, who stood guard at the door, certainly wouldnât stop him.
âYouâre here?â Zhongxuan Sheng glanced at Jiang Wang, waved his hand to signal others to leave, and then asked, âAre you first?â
He knew about Jiang Wangâs progress in the Taixu Illusion Realm.
With his strength, he could also compete for the honor of a cultivator of the Taixu Six Unities.
First, he didnât have so much time to allocate to the battles in the Taixu Illusion Realm; ensuring progress in his cultivation while personally controlling his business and battling wits with his adversaries was extremely difficult.
Second, he had a need to hide his identity and conceal his strength within the Taixu Illusion Realm, and third, the Taixu Illusion Realm wasnât that important to him.
The treasures of the Zhong Xuan Family were enough to dazzle him, and the value of the Discussion Platform was significantly reduced for a disciple of a famous sect like him.
Moreover, with the Zhong Xuan Familyâs resources at his disposal, his level in the Discussion Platform would definitely be above Jiang Wangâs, so he cared even less about the rewards for honor.
He just practiced frequently on the Discussion Platform to maintain his sharpness in combat.
âYes,â Jiang Wang said, picking a place to sit down casually.
There wasnât much to boast about; he wasnât Xu Xiangqian.
âKeep it up,â Zhongxuan Sheng said.
âThe Taixu Illusion Realm might be more important than I understand.â
âDid you get some new information?â asked Jiang Wang.
âI canât be certain, but maintaining our position canât hurt.â
Zhongxuan Sheng had said a long time ago that the Taixu Illusion Realm might expand in scale, but it had not yet happened.
After all, he had not yet seized the highest power within the Zhong Xuan Family.
He probably didnât have the qualifications to get involved with the messages concerning the existence of the Taixu Illusion Realm.
âIt seems Wang Yiwu isnât participating in the Taixu Illusion Realm,â Zhongxuan Sheng said.
That was their consensus.
With Wang Yiwuâs strength, it was impossible for him not to be at the forefront of the Ascending Dragon Realm in the Taixu Illusion Realm.
Jiang Wang battled all the way up but had never encountered him.
As Jiang Wang nodded, he thought for those with power and background like Wang Yiwu and Li Longchuan, the value of the Taixu Illusion Realm wasnât so great, and it was understandable if they chose not to participate at all.
Then why was it that so many strong individuals flocked to the monthly blessings land challenge?
That Confucianist Gate powerhouse, after thorough preparation and acquiring the ancient Gentlemanâs Nine Swords, only to initiate the challengeâwas it just for the sake of challenging Zuo Guanglie?
Perhaps for those strong enough to vie for the blessings land, the Taixu Illusion Realm had benefits on another levelâŚ
However, Zhongxuan Sheng didnât know about the blessings land matter at all, and the answer might have to wait until he truly won a blessings land challenge.
At this moment, Zhongxuan Sheng stood up from his enormous chair: âLetâs go, Iâll help you clean up your mess.â
The matter concerning Hell Has No Door was already settled, and what he was referring to were the potential troubles Jiang Wang left behind during his visit to the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower.
Indeed, he triumphed greatly in the Hidden Star World, and the situation was well concealed by Tian Chang, preventing Tian Anping from noticing it.
But later, Zhongxuan Sheng also picked up on the arrangement made by Wen Lianmu from the message received before the start of the event at the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower.
Especially after Jiang Wangâs departure, Wen Lianmu tried to trigger the largest backlash force of the collapsing Jubao Business Association, uniting to flatten Zhongxuan Shengâs business in one fell swoop.
The timing was so precise, if it wasnât him releasing the information, Zhongxuan Sheng truly wouldnât believe it.
Luckily Su She fell apart early, causing a major setback to Wen Lianmuâs plans, and since they also fought each other, it spared Zhongxuan Sheng from any significant impact.
Nevertheless, the incident revealed that Wen Lianmu must have detected the shortfall in Jiang Wangâs lifespan through some channel.
And once Jiang Wang fully achieved mastery of the Godâs Inner Mansion, Wen Lianmu would certainly know he had gained something in the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower.
Once this information reached Tian AnpingâŚ
Such a lunatic, even Zhongxuan Sheng wouldnât want to provoke.
Hence he had been busy covering this up and was just about done.
Jiang Wang rolled his eyes but was too lazy to argue and walked out of the room with him.
