Chapter 720 - 460: Sky-Reaching Array Core Tree, Heaven-Mending Stone Spirit Manifestation
Inside the canyon
Time resumed its flow.
Jiang Ming opened his eyes.
Stepping out from the simulation space, Jiang Ming felt particularly dazed in his heart.
"Master."
It seemed someone sensed Jiang Ming’s emotions.
A golden shadow fell before Jiang Ming.
It was the strongest demon cultivator with the densest bloodline in the Leopard Room Demon Pavilion of the Great Lii Imperial Palace, an old ape with the Golden Origin Ape bloodline.
Bestowed the name Sunx Yuan by Jiang Ming.
"Hmm, how much time has passed."
Countless memories surged back into Jiang Ming’s mind, as he looked at the sky, the trees in the canyon, and the fallen leaves on the ground.
Jiang Ming knew that while he was simulating, time in the outside world was also passing.
"Reporting to Master, two years have passed."
"Two years..."
Jiang Ming murmured softly.
Previously, whether simulating or in cultivation space, time outside hardly changed.
Now, two thousand years of simulation equated to two years outside.
This is easy to explain, just like when Zhong Heng accelerated the world before, the weaker the power, the lighter the ’mass’, the faster the acceleration.
The simulator could maintain a nearly frozen time difference, but now it’s different.
"My current cultivation level..."
Zhong Heng introspected his inner world.
Within his dantian, a nearly perfect golden core was slowly rotating, glimmering with golden light.
The cultivation level is at the mid-stage Golden Core.
"This world is still too small..."
Jiang Ming, hands clasped behind his back, murmured softly.
By Great Lii’s scale, it could only be considered a relatively small large-scale cultivation realm within Jiuzhou.
Moreover, its territory is even smaller than the smallest large-scale cultivation realm.
But even so, within this realm’s beings, Great Lii is still a giant protector of the Human Race.
"Decaying rites, constant faction disputes, warlord skirmishes, deities disturbing the world, demons incessant..."
"Even the last pure land of the Human Race in this world is only this much."
Sunx Yuan half-kneeled on the ground, one hand supporting the earth, the other respectfully placed on his heart.
He could feel that the Master seemed reborn after two years of seclusion.
"First-level Primordial Sea"
Jiang Ming’s eyes shone brightly.
His dantian meridians began to expand continuously, instantly capable of holding five times the amount of True Essence.
As long as the simulator connects with divine objects, one can obtain related special abilities.
Previously Jiang Ming only witnessed the God-Demon List in past cycles.
But in Zhong Heng’s current life, he encountered many divine objects.
Primordial Sea, from the Cosmic Star Pearl, is able to expand True Essence storage.
Jiang Ming’s appearance began to change continuously, and his aura also transformed constantly.
Sunx Yuan’s complexion underwent dramatic shifts, yet he dared not stand up.
"Level 2 Illusion"
Illusion, originating from Misty Bell, is similar to the transformation technique of altering appearance and temperament but is extremely superb, able to even mimic others’ essence, bloodline, and divine soul.
Though it is only in external form, ordinary methods can’t detect any flaws.
Then came three talents from the River Map, similar to the talents in the River Map Illusion, varying in power based on their level.
The talent from the God-Demon List also strengthened, adding a concealment talent.
Sunx Yuan’s heart skipped a beat; he felt Jiang Ming’s aura instantly vanished, looked up in confusion, only to see those eyes that seemed to read him completely.
"Two years, how has the development been?" Jiang Ming said quietly, simultaneously retracting all his aura.
"Reporting to Master! Over thirty brothers have reached Late-Stage Demon Pill, and nearly a thousand have reached Early-Stage Demon Pill."
Late-Stage Demon Pill is equivalent to Foundation Establishment.
Demon cultivation has a low threshold.
But it requires a lot of time to polish.
Jiang Ming established the Demon Pavilion, captured many mountain spirits, activated their bloodlines, transforming years of Spirit Monster cultivation into demon cultivation to achieve such progress.
The Human Race cultivates faster than the Demon Race, but it needs a complete inheritance and a good educational environment.
Jiang Ming didn’t continue to close himself off for cultivation.
Instead, he returned to the Imperial Palace.
The power of the Imperial Family Zhaoo was limited within the palace.
But the Imperial Palace is quite vast, comparable to a city.
The Zhaoo Family previously wavering on Jiang Ming’s identity extended an olive branch.
They allocated the Leopard Room specially used by the royal family for breeding spirit monsters and beasts to Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming used the Leopard Room as a base to establish the Demon Pavilion and develop demon cultivation.
Jiang Ming moved under the high walls, his form akin to a wraith.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Ming glanced to one side.
Just now, it seemed someone was watching him.
With a sweep of Divine Sense.
He discovered a little girl covering her mouth, eyes widened, seemingly startled by Jiang Ming.
However, she didn’t seem to notice Jiang Ming spotted her.
"Born with Divine Wisdom?"
"Seems to be a good seedling for cultivation."
Jiang Ming didn’t take the little episode to heart.
He quickly arrived at the Leopard Room.
"Hmm, the arrays left before haven’t been touched."
"It seems both the Zhaoo Family and Phoenix Ancestor Ancient Spirit still follow the rules."
Jiang Ming looked ahead, mountains stretching, mist swirling, resembling an immortal realm in a painting.
The Leopard Room is actually a mountain range stretching for ten thousand miles.
Such beautiful scenery was chosen by the royal family as a place for breeding spirit monsters and beasts.
Sunx Yuan leapt atop the mountain, letting out a loud ape cry.
The sound pierced the mist.
In the sky, earth, forest, and river, movements erupted.
Countless birds and beasts came running.
Some half-transformed into human form, others still in beast form.
All prostrated before Jiang Ming, across the slopes and forests, all were demon cultivators of the Demon Pavilion.
Among them were some who, after two years of cultivation, fully transformed their cultivation into Demon Essence and could even match Sunx Yuan.
