Chapter 638: Suddenly Realizing

In a dense forest in the Western Mountain Province, Jiang Yun led the huge Seeking-Tao Sect consisting of seventy thousand beings, resting here temporarily to avoid the heavy rain.

Even though the Calamity of the Mountain-Sea World is still four months away, the Boundary Sea has already begun to rise and spread wildly, causing the rain in the Mountain-Sea World to become heavier.

Especially in recent days, the rain has been pouring heavily, with large raindrops hitting people and causing discomfort, severely slowing down everyone’s travel speed.

Despite Jiang Yun’s strength, he had no way to deal with such heavy rain, so he had to seek shelter for the time being.

Standing under a lush tree, Jiang Yun watched the raindrops falling continuously on the ground, while thinking about something in his mind.

Although the overall strength of the Seeking-Tao Sect has been improved, Jiang Yun’s own cultivation level is still at the eighth level of the Profound Realm.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue to cultivate further, but because his way of cultivation, or the way he condenses the Profound Realm, is different from everyone else.

Others cultivate by opening up the Profound Realm based on the Blessed Land, but his cultivation involves integrating various external forces to condense the Profound Realm.

Although he could also cultivate the ninth level of the Profound Realm simply by using spirit qi.

However, he wants to find a special power that will allow him to possess all nine powers at the same time.

In his opinion, only by doing so could he attain the perfect state of his Sky Reaching Realm.

"But where can one find the ninth type of power, and it must not be too weak, at least equaling the power of the five elements!"

Jiang Yun had been pondering this question for a long time, but so far, he had not found the answer.

After all, almost all the powers in the world can be contained within the power of the five elements.

For the vast majority of cultivators, the power of the five elements is already hard to come by.

Now Jiang Yun wants to find a power that matches them, which is easier said than done!

"Brother Jiang, what are you thinking about!"

Just then, a voice sounded in Jiang Yun’s ear, and Xia Zhongxing walked up to Jiang Yun.

"Brother Xia, I am thinking about cultivation!"

Ever since returning to the Mountain-Sea World and rescuing Xia Zhongxing and others from the Luo family, Jiang Yun hasn’t spent time alone with Xia Zhongxing.

He didn’t ask about how Xia Zhongxing finally dealt with Xia Zhongwu’s Dao Spirit.

Xia Zhongxing also didn’t ask him about the situation in the Qing-zhu Desolate World.

But now, he suddenly remembered he still had the wine that Yu Cangwu asked him to give to Xia Zhongxing.

Thinking about it, Jiang Yun quickly took out a storage ring and handed it to Xia Zhongxing saying, "I almost forgot, this is from Cangwu, he asked me to give it to you as a gift."

Xia Zhongxing took the ring, scanned it with his divine sense, and smiled in satisfaction, saying, "Cangwu, this child, still remembers my preference for this Cold Pond fragrance!"

While speaking, Xia Zhongxing took out a pot of Cold Pond fragrance, took a sip first, and then handed it to Jiang Yun saying, "Have a sip too, warm yourself up!"

Jiang Yun didn’t hesitate, took it and had a sip.

The wine was fragrant and refreshing, with a chilly sensation at first but turning into a warm flow once it reached the stomach, making his whole body feel cozy.

Xia Zhongxing’s voice softly spoke again, "Are they all okay?"

"They are all fine! The Xia family is still one of the five major Daoist clans, with Xia Zhongtian as the family master. Xia Qi, the elder, is still going strong, almost killed me!"

"Haha!" Xia Zhongxing couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Grandfather’s temper seems to be the same as always!"

Jiang Yun continued, "I have seen the recipe for the Soul Resurrection Pill. Although it is missing a few ingredients, when I can refine a seventh-grade pill, I should have a chance to fully derive it."

"By then, Xia Shi will be saved!"

This sentence made Xia Zhongxing’s body tremble slightly, but the smile on his face became even brighter, "I didn’t expect you to remember, so I’ll wait for your good news!"

"By the way, you mentioned thinking about cultivation. If you don’t mind, tell me about it. Maybe I can give you some advice."

Jiang Yun didn’t hide anything from Xia Zhongxing and shared his confusion.

After listening, Xia Zhongxing pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, you are getting a bit stuck in your thoughts!"

Jiang Yun sincerely said, "Please teach me, big brother!"

Although Jiang Yun’s own strength is not weaker than Xia Zhongxing’s, he knows that his achievements today are the result of various opportunities coming together.

In terms of cultivation experience and insights, he can’t compare to experienced strong ones like Xia Zhongxing.

"Although most of the powers in the world are derived from the five elements, they each have their own strengths once evolved. Don’t underestimate them."

"Take my Xia family for example, we specialize in fire. But fire is also divided into many types."

"Such as Yang Fire, Spiritual Fire, Life Fire, the Rule of Fire, each with different powers. Even our ancestors can’t control each type of fire perfectly."

"If I had the same opportunities as you, I might not choose nine different powers, but simply select nine different types of fire to create nine different sanctuaries."

"I’m not saying your cultivation method is wrong, but in reality, there are many paths in the Great Dao, yet they all lead to the same destination in the end!"

"Therefore, you don’t have to insist on finding a power that is outside of the five elements and comparable to them."

"Doing that not only affects your cultivation, but also easily leads you into a state of obsession, which is very harmful to your path of cultivation!"

"Especially when you are about to break through the Heaven Gate and step into the Tao Spiritual Realm, inner demons will appear. If you keep this state, it will be difficult to defeat the inner demons!"

"As for what you call perfection, sometimes perfection is not about being flawless. Having some flaws can also be a form of perfection!"

Xia Zhongxing’s words made Jiang Yun deep in thought.

Gradually, understanding dawned on his face, feeling like a sudden realization!

Indeed, he was almost obsessed now. Although he could have condensed the ninth Heaven Gate long ago, he deliberately chose not to do so and insisted on searching for another kind of power.

Now, with the Calamity of the Mountain-Sea World approaching, they were constantly in danger.

There are even Boundary Patrollers from the Dao God Temple trying to capture him. Instead of quickly improving his strength, he is persistently searching for this ninth power.

If he continues like this, he may be killed before he finds it.

Jiang Yun suddenly felt cold all over with sweat, hurriedly bowed deeply to Xia Zhongxing and said, "Brother Xia, thank you very much!"

Xia Zhongxing waved his hand and said, "You’re too kind, what I said may not be right, just a suggestion for you."

"If you have the chance, you can also ask Brother Hei and Liu Tianren, everyone has different views on cultivation, learning from different people might be more helpful for you."

Jiang Yun nodded, but then his face suddenly changed, raised his hand quickly and pushed Xia Zhongxing away with a slap.

At the same time, he also revealed the Hidden Tao Sword in his other hand.

"Clang!"

With a clear sword sound, sword energy soared, piercing a hole through a blood-red palm that was coming down from the sky, exploding loudly.

However, this blood-red palm did not disappear, but turned into countless blood-red threads like earthworms, swiftly entering his body through Jiang Yun’s pores.

"Ten Thousand Demons Cave!"

As soon as the red lines entered Jiang Yun’s body, he suddenly felt dizzy, clenched his teeth, managed to shout out three words, and then fell to the ground.

Because he could clearly feel that his own blood was being greedily devoured by these red lines inside his body!
