Chapter 550: Temporal Dao
“What?”
The Daoist of Many Treasures exclaid in shock when he saw the dicinal pellets in the buckets, “What pellets are those?!”
“I could recognize infinite treasures, but I’ve never seen any dicinal pellet this uniquely shaped!”
Indeed, Jiang He’s Dao Enlightennt Pellets were out of the ordinary in shape, color, aroma, and many other attributes. Still, Zhao Gongming had only recognized it as the extrely rare Dao Enlightennt Pellet once he took a bite.
Though Dao Enlightennt Pellets only had a minor effect for the best Demi-Saints such as them, they were extrely useful for normal Golden Immortals or Grand Luo.
It was no exaggeration that one Dao Enlightennt Pellet was equal in value to a superior-grade immortal item for those cultivators.
Zhao Gongming was astonished at the thought.
And there were definitely a thousand of these pellets in this bucket!
In other words, that bucket of plain-looking dicinal pellets was worth a thousand superior-grade immortal items?
In turn, it would not be difficult to trade a thousand superior-grade immortal items for up to thirty premium-grade immortal items.
And that many premium-grade immortal items was enough to trade for a handful of soul treasures.
Moreover, there were five buckets of those pellets...
Was that not equal ten soul treasures?
Zhao Gongming cursed in shock precisely because he understood the value.
He promptly stuffed the remaining Peppa Pigs at the Daoist of Many Treasures’ questions, chuckling, “This dicinal pellet tastes so good!”
Burp!
Speechless, the Daoist of Many Treasures chuckled. “You... really are a glutton.”
Like how much Many Treasures like collecting treasures, Zhao Gongming’s passion was eating, and would wander worlds from ti to ti in search of gourt food.
The Daoist of Many Treasures understood that side of his senior brother and promptly said, “Take it with you if you like it so much.”
“Well...”
Zhao Gongming feigned hesitation despite being jubilant inwardly, and mused to himself, “That’s no good, Brother... Jiang He has gifted these pellets to you for the two fragnts of the God-Killing Spear... it’s Brother Jiang He’s sincerity no matter how you go about it.”
Nonetheless, the Daoist of Many Treasures put on airs and smiled faintly. “What pellet have I not eaten before? I’ve even have so of the Dao Enlightennt Pellets and the Nine Twirls Golden Pellets stored, refined by our eldest martial uncle.”
“You can tell from a single glance that those five buckets of dicinal pellets are no rarities—just take it if it fits your palate.”
Zhao Gongming promptly waved his hand, taking all five buckets in a single swoop before saying, “Thanks for the pellets, Brother.”
With that, he promptly turned, and...
Swish!
He instantly disappeared at top speed!
“...”
The Daoist of Many Treasures was taken aback, his rather pudgy face showing suspicious then...
Why did he have a feeling that he had been tricked?
“Am I imagining it?”
“But even if I’ve lost so precious collectible, it’s all worth it if I could hook up with Jiang He.”
With that thought, the Daoist of Many Treasures returned to his chair and continued eating his divine fruits.
***
anwhile, Jiang He arrived outside the Southern Sky Gate.
“Eh?”
He had just arrived when he heard a gasp of surprise—it was the Golden Armor General, the virtual clone of the Jade Emperor.
He happened to be on guard duty at the Southern Sky Gate, and promptly greeted Jiang He when he saw him arrived, laughing. “Brother Jiang He, I’ve heard of your victory... impressive, truly impressive!”
Indeed, the Golden Armor General found it a sha that Jiang He had not brought him along.
If he had, all worlds would be talking about the Lord of the Celestial Court and Jiang He of the Three Realms...
How great would that be?
“I’ve never killed Demi-Saints before and did not know they were so easy,” Jiang He explained. “Don’t worry, brother Golden Armor. I’ll definitely bring you along if I have a chance!”
“That’s a promise!”
The Golden Armor General’s eyes were lit up as he pulled Jiang He along, inviting him to so drinks.
Jiang He excused himself, saying, “We have all the ti we want to drink later... You know that Lord Swelling Sky of the Gods has his eyes on and is threatening to end .”
“I’ve heard about that, too... but don’t worry, Brother. He’s just your average Saint and would never dare to cause trouble in the Three Realms.”
“But I can’t keep hiding here like a coward, can I?”
Jiang He sneered with a sinister glare. “Ever since I assud the path of cultivation, only death cos to those who dare threaten —Lord Swelling Sky will be no exception!
“Moreover, he’s a Saint. I would be too uneasy to eat or sleep if I don’t kill him soon.”
He then explained why he ca.
“I’ll bring you to et my senior brother...”
But right after the Golden Armor General spoke, the very air quaked, and a spear hilt drenched in blood landed in front of Jiang He.
It was another notch of the God-Killing Spear’s hilt.
Jiang He took it, and bowed slightly at the Tushita Palace, saying, “Thanks for the treasure, Great Saint.”
“Go ahead. I hope to see how you would slay a Saint.”
Jiang He’s ears resounded with Taishang Laojun’s voice, who also warned, “That Saint is starting to control ti and reverse or stop it within a small area. You would never be able to stop him if you can’t fight against ti reversal.”
The Grand Mage of Xuandu could fight Saints by borrowing the Eight Trigrams Canvas, Golden Pagoda and Five-Elents Flags, because the Eight Trigrams Canvas nullified the power of space-ti.
Space-ti here referred to both space and ti, instead of only ‘space’.
Still, upon rembering Lord Swelling Sky’s technique from before, Jiang He asked guiltily, “That Saint caused space and ti to reverse, pulling back to him even though I had fled over billions of miles away... could all Saints cause ti to reverse? Doesn’t that an they could reverse ti to revive the dead?”
“The path is already set in stone. How could that be changed?”
“Lord Swelling Sky’s technique is rely a simple application of the space-ti aspect, closing the distance between you two.”
“He is not yet capable of reversing ti.”
Ooom!
That was when a special Dao presence around Jiang He shuddered, and in the very next instant... Jiang He felt his cultivating degrading, instantly dropping to the thirteenth-tier of martial arts.
Then, the ti around him accelerated, and his degraded cultivation returned to his body.
Jiang He appeared astonished.
“Saints who have grasped ti reversal could instantly take away your cultivation and revert you to an infant form.”
“But don’t worry—no one aside from across the many worlds is capable of that. Even the Patriarch of the Gods and the Patriarch of the Demons have only grasped a fraction of that ability.”
It was only then that Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief.
Why bother fighting if all Saints had that ability? Just offer them your neck and let them hack your head off!
He ambled asked, “Great Saint, teach ... how do I kill a Saint?”
There was no response for a long ti.
“O Great Saint?”
“You there?”
“Can you hear ?”
“...”
Tch!
Jiang He was speechless.
Still, Taishang Laojun’s words provided him a general direction.
“Is it possible to create a cultivation thod and easily grasp Temporal Dao?”
Jiang He thought about it for half a day but did not know where to start, however, and so had to bid the Golden Armor General farewell.
With the third fragnt of the God-Killing Spear gathered, Jiang He was about to head to the Western Sect for the fourth.
“But I don’t know any Western Sect elites...”
“Should I return to the Jie Sect for a bit? Wasn’t Brother Many Treasures saying that he had friends across worlds? Maybe he’s on good terms with the Western Sect.”
It was easier to get things done with acquaintances, after all.
