"You have a good spirit. Would you like to come with me" the white-haired man said.
Although he was young, how could he not see the sweeping vista of azure skies Just as he was about to agree, a stubborn voice rang out beside him, "Take me with you!"

The voice belonged to his companion, and the one who had just been defeated by him in a mock sword fight.
The boy was stubborn about winning against his friend, as was evident in their countless "sword fights." This time, the reason for his insistence on victory stemmed from a previous defeat. He wouldn't stop until he had won back that loss.
The boy thought, "Then we can go practice together."
Many details he could no longer recall, but he still remembered the white-haired man's eyes. They were as transparent as a stream and as vast as the sky.
The white-haired man looked at them with his eyes, at the two children who had been inseparable since childhood, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
“I only take one apprentice,” the white-haired man said.
He repeated, "Both of you are good, but I will only take one."
What to do The boy thought at the time.
But he only had time to think that one instant, the next moment, he was pushed into the river.
The sound of water splashing.
His friend, the one who used to play naked with him, and just a kid's friend, actually pushed him into the water without any hesitation!
Across the undulating water, he saw his "friend"'s impassive face and the unwavering gaze of the white-haired man.
Then, a streak of silvery sword light shot up into the sky.
His companions and the white-haired man were enveloped in that magnificent and dazzling sword light, like a bolt from the blue, sudden in its arrival and abrupt in its departure.
Like the legends of countless immortals seeking enlightenment, it brushed past ordinary and pitiful mortals.

Only left, unable to let go, unable to believe, countless midnight awakenings!
Jiang Wang opened his eyes. The pitch-black night enveloped him, wrapping around everything in the dormitory. It was unusually quiet inside. Ling He and Du Yexi's breaths were long and steady, each with a distinctive rhythm.
Jiang Wang knew they were practicing the foundational breathing technique. Although seemingly basic, it was a skill only inner disciples were taught. It was the foundation of Zhuang Guodao Academy's hundred-year success.
The selection of disciples for the inner courtyard of Fenglin City Daoist Academy wasn't particularly suspenseful. Ling He, Du Yehu, and Zhao Rucheng became the new inner disciples, with their names inscribed on the jade tablet dedicated to the Daoists enshrined in the Sacrificial Hall.
However, before the manifestation of the Dao pulse, one cannot yet be considered a formal Taoist priest.
The opening meridian pill is incredibly valuable, so much so that even the Fenglin City Daoist Academy, which receives national support, cannot provide it for free to every disciple. As the most outstanding batch of outer disciples selected to enter the inner sect, they typically need to spend at least a year accumulating enough merit before they are eligible to obtain an opening meridian pill.
>
Every year, the top contributor among the outer disciples is rewarded with a Qi-Opening Pill in exchange for their contribution. This is a special incentive offered by the Daoist Academy to its outer disciples. Therefore, since Jiang Wang emerged this year, no one else can replicate his path.
Even so, Jiang Wang fought a desperate, bloody battle to accumulate enough contributions to exchange for the Kaimai Pill. Now, within a radius of a hundred miles around Fenglin City, there is no other Xishan Bandit available for extermination.
>
Entering the outer sect of the Daoist temple to diligently cultivate, defeating countless rivals to enter the inner sect. After entering the inner sect, continue to cultivate diligently, while accumulating task contributions, and finally be awarded the Opening Meridian Pill, stepping into the extraordinary. This is the path taken by ordinary cultivators in Zhuang Country. It can also be considered a clearly visible and prosperous path.
Compared to those who were born with obvious spiritual veins and directly entered the inner sect to cultivate Taoist scriptures, these young men who followed the outer sect promotion route did indeed waste a lot of time.
The path of cultivation, one step slow, every step slow. This is why Jiang Wang was willing to risk his life to complete missions when he was in the outer sect, and also why Fang Pengju couldn't control his greed. No one wants to wait that many years!
Therefore, Jiang Wang understood Fang Pengju's longing but couldn't forgive his methods.
Warriors as outstanding as them, whether it was Ling He or Du Yehu, who wouldn't yearn for transcendence like Fang Pengju Yet, none of them resorted to such despicable acts.

Jiang Wang's father once said: people are determined by their choices. Jiang Wang agreed deeply.
>
And he was also in a difficult choice before.
As is widely known, the nine ranks of cultivators, with the first rank being the most revered, are considered the beginning of transcendence. The hallmark of achieving the ninth rank is attaining the Dao Cycle, where the primordial Dao originates spontaneously.
Practitioners have gone through a long, immeasurable history. Naturally, there is very detailed and in-depth research on this extraordinary first step.
The spine is considered the great dragon of the human body, and the Dao pulse is hidden within it. When the Dao pulse appears, cultivators can use their qi and blood to feedback into the Dao pulse, thereby generating Dao essence. Dao essence is the foundation of all Dao practices and the basis for transcendence.
To take Jiang Wang's Earthworm Meridian as an example, each time he mobilizes the "Earthworm," it requires a considerable amount of Qi and Blood. Only after channeling through the entire Dragon of the Spine can one generate a Dao Yuan. As for Jiang Wang at his level, he can practice the Meridian Surge Technique a maximum of twice a day, accumulating two Dao Yuan. It's not that he doesn't try harder; it's that his body simply can't allow it. The consumption of Qi and Blood is too great, damaging the source and harming the spirit – a truly losing proposition.
After accumulating the foundational Dao Yuan, the next step is to control and command the Dao Yuan, arranging them according to the pattern of the foundation-laying array. Once the array is complete, a Dao vortex will be generated.
As a cultivator who has already opened his meridians, Fenglin City Dao Institute naturally imparted the foundational array map. It was the commonly used Guiyuan Array in Zhuang Country, with a total of eighty-one array points. That is to say, as long as there was no mistake in listing the foundational array map, he would need at least forty-one days, nearly half a month's time, to truly become a ninth-rank cultivator. (Jiang Wang had previously accumulated two Dao Yuans, which were exhausted in battle.)
Before this, Jiang Wang naturally had nothing to worry about, but now that he unexpectedly entered the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm and inherited Zuo Guanglie's "Dong Zhenxu Fu Di," unlocking the corresponding Sword Debate Platform and Dao Discourse Platform, he has new troubles.
Yesterday, after obtaining the Guiyuan Formation Diagram, he decided to test the effectiveness of the Dao Platform. He poured all his 1850 points of skill into calculating the formation diagram. In the end, he obtained an incredibly complex Zhoutian Starry Sky Formation Diagram. The entire foundation formation diagram had three hundred and sixty-five array points!
Before we even talk about the difficulty of arranging the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation Diagram, simply recreating the foundational diagram perfectly would take at least half a year to generate the first Dao vortex.
And after that, ascending from the ninth rank to the eighth rank requires establishing three Dao Spins. Ascending from the eighth rank to the seventh rank requires establishing nine Dao Spins.
If we calculate it this way, the time is too long!
Zhou Tian Xing Dou Array is undoubtedly stronger than Gui Yuan Array, but the long time required to lay its foundation is precisely where Jiang Wang hesitates. He needs to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible to catch up with those cultivators whose innate Dao meridians are clearly evident, however, time waits for no one.

But after tonight's dream, he had made his choice.

Jiang Wang closed his eyes, activating the single Dao Yuan generated yesterday during his pulse-rushing technique. It slowly moved within his spine. In the blurry world of perception where he commanded Dao Yuan, it was a boundless and vast expanse of space.
Because the Great Dragon dwells here, this place is also known as the Spine Sea.
But in the oral tradition of practitioners, it has a more resounding name—Tiāntiāngōng!

Piercing through the Heavenly Palace, opening the gates of heaven and earth, marks the transformation of a novice cultivator into an intermediate one.
In the boundless Tongtian Palace, a tiny Dao Yuan resembled a speck of dust. But instead of drifting with the currents, it resolutely and tenaciously carried out Jiang Wang's will. Moving, moving, it finally hovered in its desired location.
>
That is the location of the Sun star in the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Zhen Tu.
When the Dao Yuan hung suspended, Jiang Wang seemed to see again the eyes of the white-haired cultivator from his youth.
He will never forget the moment he was pushed into the water.
>
Those eyes seemed to be saying to him—
The path of cultivation is a struggle. of the state.His life was a brilliant and glorious one.At this moment, sitting upon the throne, he bore no stern expression, and his voice was not particularly loud. Yet, the entire Palace of Bao Hua...
