1050 You Finally Appeared! (1/2)

The next day, Jiang Yi went to a nearby medium city. Before entering, he changed his appearance into that of a lesser clan's young master and found another inn where he gathered more information again.

The waiter at the previous inn had not lied to him. She Fei had indeed broken through to the Demigod Realm. That extremely discreet great young master from the Zhan Clan had also become a Demigod and was engaged to Yin Ruobing.

However, it appeared that the wedding taking place a year later was at the suggestion of Yin Ruobing; it was evident she had her reservations. However, due to her clan's pressures, she could only resort to delaying the inevitable by a year.

Any wedding for anyone born in a big clan was not a personal affair; these were marriage alliances. Yin Ruobing was from the Fragrant Lady Race. This was something that all the young masters from the big clans knew about. Everyone wanted to get this unrivaled beauty; it just depended on whom the Yin Clan wanted to get close to.

The Zhan Clan was a very powerful family; the Battle Emperor was also a nine-star expert. The most important factor was that Zhan Tianlei had actually broken through to the Demigod Realm. He would be on the same level as She Fei next time, being the next Battle Thearc, Battle Emperor. To create a marriage alliance with the future head of the Zhan Clan suited the Yin Clan's interests.

Yi Chan was also under a lot of pressure. However, she was lucky as she had a grandfather who cultivated zen, specifically the heart of zen. This cultivation emphasized one following one's heart, acting as one desired. If not, she would have been put in the same position as Yin Ruobing, not being able to get her way at all.

Besides these few matters, the East Imperial Continent was rather peaceful. The North Thearch's clan had been very quiet while Wu Ni had also vanished without a trace; he had not been seen once in the past two years.

Something worth mentioning was that Jian Wuying had broken through again, mastering a five-star dao pattern and attaining the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm. The young Jian Wuying's cultivating speed was too fast. If Jiang Yi had returned two years later, he probably would have heard the news that Jian Wuying had broken through to the Demigod Realm.

”Forget it. Since our paths are different, there is little chance we can work together. There is no point in thinking further.”

Jiang Yi shook his head and got rid of all the vexing thoughts in his heart. A light flashed in his hand, and a green pearl appeared. He wanted to contact someone associated with the Shadow Emperor. However, he waited bitterly for two hours, but there was no response. The Shadow Emperor did not have spies in this area.

”Let's go.”

He also did not book a direct ticket to Mystic Heaven City, but he made one for Heaven State Region. He wanted to go there and see the Butterfly Lady Race and the two children. That way, he could also hide his tracks. After all, to head directly to Mystic Heaven City from where he was would cost him heavily in celestial stones. The Tang Clan would also definitely take note of such a matter and start investigating his identity; it was too easy for him to be exposed.

There was an even more important reason. At the foot of Stupa Mountain, Qi Tianyu and company had all died in battle. He had always felt very guilty towards the Qi Clan. He wanted to go and report his offense to Qi Tianchen.

The Buddha Light Region wasn't that far from Heaven State Region. The people here also frequently came in contact with people from the Heaven State Region. The journey would take slightly more than a month and would not raise any red flags.

Actually, while handing over the deposit, Jiang Yi felt a little hesitant. He really wanted to make a trip to the lake north of Buddha Mountain, but he did not dare to go after recalling what the mysterious elder had said to him. The elder was very clear: if Jiang Yi hadn't become a Demigod—even if Jiang Yi went there, the elder would not come and meet him. Jiang Yi had to forget about this thought for the time being.

Five days later, the Heaven Fate Ship arrived. Jiang Yi boarded the ship disguised as a small clan young master. The journey was very peaceful. Jiang Yi's Divine Perception was constantly scanning the surroundings, but he did not find anything suspicious.

After spending two days in the hold of the boat, Jiang Yi entered the one-hundred-fold secret cultivation room on the Heaven Fate Ship. Jiang Yi's sixth star sphere had transformed, and his essence force had reached the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm. If it was an ordinary person—as long as he had not reached the Demigod Realm, he would not go and cultivate his essence force, and would not be able to cultivate essence force either.

However, Jiang Yi was different. His dantian had transformed; the ninth star sphere had appeared. During the last breakthrough, Jiang Yi had cultivated once; and the seventh star sphere was able to release essence force. However, the required essence force the seventh star sphere needed was immense, threefold more than before.

In other words, if Jiang Yi wanted his seventh star sphere to transform, he needed to cultivate in this type of one-hundred-fold secret cultivation room for at least twenty years.

Beyond the seventh star sphere was the eighth star sphere. By his calculation, the eighth star sphere should also require an essence force that was two or three times that of what the seventh star sphere needed. This meant that the time needed for the eighth star sphere would be even longer. Using the one-hundred-fold secret cultivation room and adding to it the ten-fold cultivation speed that his body possessed due to the Destitute Dragon Grass, that would still take more than fifty years. If the required essence force for the ninth star sphere continued to double or triple, that would be impossible to imagine.

”Something isn't right though!”
