Chapter 1416: Mountain and Sea Purgatory

Boom!

The sound of the stone gates being pushed open was like a colossal mountain shifting.From their appearance, these two stone gates must weigh over ten thousand catties."Ten thousand catties." Zuo Guangshu, noticing Jiang Wang's expression, explained from the side, "These two stone gates weigh ten thousand catties."

"With this senior guarding the place, why would such heavy gates be needed?" Jiang Wang said, adopting a tone used when flattering a friend's elder.The "Uncle Scar" atop the tower remained silent, his face devoid of expression.Zuo Guangshu, however, grabbed him and quickly lowered his head, rushing inside.He whispered through spiritual resonance, "Stop talking already!""What's wrong?" Jiang Wang, momentarily distracted, was pulled off balance, and transmitted back, still defiant, "Is this not your brother trying to build rapport with the strong ones in your family? Lest someone say your Brother Jiang is ignorant of etiquette. I am very familiar with the etiquette of Chu! I have read books! 'Shidao Zaohai,' have you heard of it? Such a thick and long set!"Zuo Guangshu wore an expression of utter embarrassment, walking forward with his head down.

The architecture beyond the stone gates was not as complex as imagined.After the two entered the stone gates, the first thing that came into view was a long corridor paved with stone bricks.The stone bricks were engraved with formation patterns that Jiang Wang could not comprehend.But the extension of these patterns held a sense of beauty.The Chu people's pursuit of beautiful things was practically ingrained in their bones. Even their formation patterns were extravagant.Along both sides of the corridor, many rooms were symmetrically sealed with translucent crystal doors, though it was unknown what lay within.The stone gates behind them slowly closed.

Only then did Zuo Guangshu explain, "This isn't a matter of etiquette or not. The crucial point is that Uncle Scar is not guarding this place, but is imprisoned here as punishment... Your clumsy attempt to get close is like cursing him to his face, is it not?"So that was it...Praising someone as being well-suited to guard a place was no different from wishing they stay imprisoned for a few more years.No wonder that "Uncle Scar" didn't even spare him an expression.Jiang Wang already knew he had spoken wrongly, but feeling looked down upon by his younger brother, still felt rather unpleasant. He grumbled, "You didn't tell me earlier."Zuo Guangshu was momentarily choked, but ultimately did not voice the thought in his heart, "I didn't realize you talked so much," and swiftly got to the main point, "Let's talk about the Mountain Sea Realm! To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools. We must first adapt to the environment within the Mountain Sea Realm to ensure we can maintain our full combat strength there...""Is the environment there very harsh?" Jiang Wang asked."The environment there is completely different from the present world," Zuo Guangshu said. "My family replicated the environment within the Mountain Sea Realm and specifically refined this place."He looked towards the front of the corridor, his voice tinged with lingering fear: "And the name of this place is 'Mountain Sea Purgatory'."

"Purgatory?" Jiang Wang was slightly surprised.Zuo Guangshu said, "I believe the name is fitting. Every room before you is an earthly purgatory."Seeing the young man confirm the hardship of the next few days of training, Jiang Wang instead smiled, "Had I known I would suffer this hardship, perhaps I would have run away halfway."Zuo Guangshu glared at him."Actually, I still don't quite understand," Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask again, "Exactly what kind of place is this Mountain Sea Realm?"Zuo Guangshu thought seriously for a moment, as if contemplating how to explain it clearly to Jiang Wang.Only then did he say, "The Mountain Sea Realm is a place between the virtual and the real. It is a world created from nothing by Huang Weizhen himself. Perhaps it is merely a game, perhaps it conceals shocking secrets. Those who have come out of it all describe its marvels, but none can ever articulate it clearly.Almost everyone says that their description is but one in ten thousand. And when we piece together everyone's accounts, we indeed cannot obtain a complete picture.It is more complex and vast than everything seen by its experiencers, and thus holds even more unimaginable possibilities.I can only say that I cannot accurately introduce it to you, because I have not entered it either.And the information we currently possess is perhaps merely a glimpse of a leopard, or a single leaf of autumn. I cannot tell you that a leopard is just a spot, or that autumn is just a leaf."

"I am becoming increasingly interested." Jiang Wang turned his head to look at the corridor before him, feeling only curiosity, not fear: "Then let us begin with this Mountain Sea Purgatory!"The Huang Weizhen whom Zen Master Zhaowu of Mount Sumeru saw and turned back, the Huang Weizhen who created the Dharma Enlightenment Pavilion and made Chu's arts and techniques the best under heaven, the Huang Weizhen known as the 'most elegant in three thousand years' in Chu...What kind of marvel was the Mountain Sea Realm he left behind?When Zuo Guangshu described it, he actually used a word like "world".Jiang Wang was truly filled with anticipation.Ancient sages were like bright moons, often causing future generations to look up.Cultivators trace back to the past and look to the present. To achieve greatness, they must, of course, open up the future. But before that, they should at least see the scenery that their predecessors have already enjoyed.Parting the mists of history, and visiting the legends silent in time, this is also the romance of cultivators.

"If we are to understand the Mountain Sea Realm beforehand, we are already in the most suitable place."Zuo Guangshu walked forward in the corridor, reaching out to tap the crystal door of the first room on his left."Brother Jiang, you are a friend of the Young Master of the Chongxuan family. Surely you are no stranger to the power of Chongxuan?"Jiang Wang smiled, "Of course I dare not be a stranger."With Chongxuan Zun as his opponent, how could he not familiarize himself with the power of Chongxuan?It was a pity that Chongxuan Sheng had not stripped away his Chongxuan divine ability. Relying solely on the manipulation of Chongxuan secret arts, no matter how exquisite, there was still an essential difference from a divine ability.Although he was now completely familiar with Chongxuan Sheng's Chongxuan secret arts, he could not guarantee that he could face the power of Chongxuan.

Zuo Guangshu, however, did not think so much, and simply continued to introduce, "The power of Chongxuan can be divided into Yin and Yang. It is both the power of pure qi rising, and the power of turbid qi sinking. In the present world, we are also constantly affected by the power of Chongxuan. But it generally tends towards a constant state, neither increasing nor decreasing, and our bodies have long become accustomed to it..."Jiang Wang was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect your Zuo family to also have research on the power of Chongxuan."Zuo Guangshu glanced at him, "Among those who control Chongxuan secret arts in the world, the Chongxuan family of Qi are the foremost. That is an instinct flowing in their blood, something others cannot compare to... But that doesn't mean others don't research the power of Chongxuan at all.""What is the relationship between the Mountain Sea Realm and the power of Chongxuan?""The level of Chongxuan power we experience in reality is completely different from what we experience in the Mountain Sea Realm. In that place, it is as if someone is constantly casting Chongxuan secret arts on you, causing you to constantly sink. What we need to withstand is Chongxuan power hundreds of times that of the present world."The crystal door of the first room on the left, with Zuo Guangshu's gentle tap, became completely transparent.Standing in the corridor, looking into the transparent crystal door, the space beyond the crystal door was extremely vast.It was not the kind of training room or similar place that Jiang Wang had imagined.On the contrary, beyond the crystal door was clearly an open area.It faintly appeared to be a barren land.The sky was dark and heavy, with layers of clouds pressing down extremely low. The peaks were sharp and horned, the rocks rugged and strange... giving a very oppressive feeling.This crystal door seemed to lead to a completely different place.It was so unlike Luosan.

"Among all the Mountain Sea Purgatories, the most repeated is the Chongxuan Purgatory. It can't be called repetition, rather it is an advancement." Zuo Guangshu casually made a hand seal, explaining to Jiang Wang, "In this room, ten times the Chongxuan power of the present world is filled. We can go in and adapt first."As his words fell, this crystal door slowly rose, until it was completely retracted into the stone wall.But there was still a layer of crystal door inside.It was a double-layered crystal door design, presumably to prevent the Chongxuan power inside from encroaching outwards, thus creating such a structure.Jiang Wang naturally had no objection.Following closely behind Zuo Guangshu, he walked to the space between the two layers of crystal doors. At this point, the outer crystal door slowly descended again, completely closing, and only then did the inner crystal door open.The moment the crystal door opened, Jiang Wang immediately felt the pressure.A pressure much denser and heavier than in the present world, covering every part of his body.It made one want to lie on the ground, but lying on the ground was also impossible, because the blood and muscles were also heavier.

"How is it?" Zuo Guangshu was the first to walk into this barren land filled with a grim atmosphere. He stopped beside a strangely shaped rock resembling a demon, and looked back at Jiang Wang: "Can you still adapt?"Jiang Wang controlled the details of his body, his muscles trembling slightly at an extremely high speed, slowly walking forward, but asking a completely unrelated question: "Does this door lead to another place? It doesn't look like the Luosan we were just in, let alone in a valley."After entering the crystal door, his field of vision was freed, and only then could he finally see the environment here. As far as his eyes could see, there were strange rocks. And these rocks, in a natural form, portrayed the grotesque, chaotic, and terrifying.He could also hear the cold and stern wind in his ears, which made him feel even more oppressed.This was clearly not a blessed land.

"In the Mountain Sea Purgatory, many rooms are indeed connected to special places through formations," Zuo Guangshu explained. "However, this room is not. This room is still within Luosan. The reason why it is so large and desolate, completely different from Luosan, is the effect of the formation."Jiang Wang did not understand formations, and in this regard, he could only nod.And at this moment, suddenly—Crack!The strange rock beside Zuo Guangshu suddenly cracked open, and a stone claw extended out!Jiang Wang watched calmly.He saw Zuo Guangshu's elegant robes fluttering. He easily grabbed the stone claw and broke it off with a light twist, throwing it backward.He pressed his single palm on the strange rock in the shape of a demon. With just one push, this strange rock had not yet had time to fully evolve into a demon before it disintegrated into a pile of broken stones, neatly stacked on the ground.

"These are stone monster puppets made by the disciples of the Mohist school, used to simulate the environment within the Mountain Sea Realm," Zuo Guangshu said casually. "The stone monsters in the Mountain Sea Realm won't be so easy to deal with.""Besides the environment with ten times the Chongxuan power of the present world, are there only stone monsters here?" Jiang Wang asked."Yes, there are only stone monsters in this room. The environment is relatively much simpler," Zuo Guangshu said. "Because you have never been exposed to this environment, I think you need to adapt slowly, from simple to complex."Jiang Wang smiled while feeling the environment with his body, "You have been very thoughtful."Zuo Guangshu looked at Jiang Wang and said, "I think you probably have some understanding of this place now...""I wouldn't say understanding, just beginning to get acquainted," Jiang Wang was very humble."Let's try fighting each other!" Zuo Guangshu's voice held a hint of excitement: "To help you adapt to this environment as quickly as possible."Having cultivated to Jiang Wang's realm, lifting a thousand catties was but turning a hand. A little Chongxuan power pressing down on him was completely insufficient to affect him.But if his body had to withstand this suppression of Chongxuan power every moment, it was indeed difficult to ensure that his combat strength remained unaffected.Zuo Guangshu had, of course, adapted countless times already. Let alone this room with ten times the Chongxuan power. He could move freely in rooms with a hundred times the Chongxuan power long ago.Therefore, it was inevitable that he would have the idea of defeating Jiang Wang at this moment.After all, ever since Jiang Wang ascended to the top of the Taixu Illusionary Realm's first inner mansion, he had never won against Jiang Wang again...In real combat encounters, Jiang Wang would never go easy on him.Little Guangshu's thoughts were almost written on his face, and it was not difficult to discern.But seeing his eager look, Jiang Wang couldn't help but press his forehead.No matter what... I have already erected a Starlight Sacred Tower.No matter how easy the gap between the inner mansion and the outer building is to cross. After all, I have been certified as the first inner mansion in history, and personally erected a starlight tower beside the Yuheng main star...Such a young age, how are you so brave?And frankly, although Chongxuan Pang did not strip away his Chongxuan divine ability, his research and application of Dao arts were impeccable. Although he later refused to truly fight Jiang Wang to the death, in order to allow Jiang Wang to adapt to Chongxuan Zun's fighting style as much as possible, there were quite a few auxiliary training sessions where he personally controlled the scene...In other words...This environment with only a little Chongxuan power was nothing to Jiang Wang.He walked slowly at first purely out of caution towards an unfamiliar environment, plus a little teasing towards little Guangshu.Who would have thought this young boy would have such ambitious thoughts?!

"Perhaps I should adapt a little longer..." Jiang Wang said with hesitation, "I still don't feel very comfortable at the moment."Zuo Guangshu's eyes sparkled, "Fighting is the fastest way to adapt to the environment. We have always done it this way!"He spoke from experience, and also reasoned and appealed to emotion: "How long will it take for you to adapt slowly? The Mountain Sea Realm opens on the sixteenth of February. We don't have much time! Time waits for no one!""Is that so?" Jiang Wang still hesitated slightly.On his face were three parts wavering, six parts hesitant, and one part nervousness. His expression was very precise."Come on, come on!" Zuo Guangshu invited enthusiastically, "We'll just spar a bit to adapt to the environment as quickly as possible. Don't overthink it!""If you must spar at this time..." Jiang Wang sighed, "Then fine."

Just twenty breaths later...Zuo Guangshu fell from mid-air, plummeting into a pile of strange rocks, scattering debris and kicking up dust everywhere.Jiang Wang slowly flew over, his face filled with concern: "Come, little Guangshu, let your brother help you up."Zuo Guangshu climbed out from the scattered pile of strange rocks, wiped the dirt from his forehead, and said in a muffled voice, "No need."After standing still, he couldn't help but say, "You adapted very well!""Actually, not that well. I was forcefully resisting it," Jiang Wang said with some regret, "So I couldn't control my hands very well. Little Guangshu, are you alright?"Zuo Guangshu was immersed in the unhappiness of defeat and even forgot to correct the word "little"."I think the training effect of this room on you is very limited." After all, he was a vigorous youth. After only a moment of depression, he said with great determination, "Let's go, let's go directly to the room with fifty times the Chongxuan power!"

"Such a big leap?""Don't worry, you are adapting very well," Zuo Guangshu even encouraged him.Jiang Wang looked a little troubled, but still reluctantly nodded, "Alright, to help you, your brother will do anything!"The two then walked out of the room. The crystal door slowly closed and returned to its translucent state, allowing one to vaguely see something, but not clearly.Zuo Guangshu led the way to the fifth room on the left. This time, he said nothing and directly opened the door.Beyond this crystal door was a desert environment. One could see dust and sand filling the sky, obscuring the view.Occasionally, some poisonous creatures like stone centipedes and sand scorpions would appear and disappear in the field of vision.Having experienced it once before, Jiang Wang completely understood that these environments were secondary. They merely let one know that these things existed in the Mountain Sea Realm, so as not to relax one's guard. In the Chongxuan Purgatory, the most important thing was the omnipresent Chongxuan power.Fifty times the Chongxuan power of the present world was actually more pressure than Chongxuan Sheng usually exerted.But for Jiang Wang...It was still adaptable.

So twenty breaths later...Zuo Guangshu was buried in the sand.He was lively during the fight, but as soon as the fight ended, Jiang Wang seemed to become unsuited to this environment again.It was one thing to fly slowly, but even his speech was slow, giving the air of an old man: "Little Guangshu, are you alright?"Not long after..."Spit, spit, spit!"Zuo Guangshu crawled out of the sand pile, constantly spitting out sand."I'm fine!" He said dejectedly with a fallen face.At this time, he was covered in sand on his body and face, and there was a sand scorpion hanging in his messy hair.It was hard for anyone to see that this young man covered in yellow sand was that handsome young lord.

"Or, I'll just adapt slowly myself..." Jiang Wang said."You've already adapted very well," Zuo Guangshu gritted his teeth, "Let's go, let's go to the room with a hundred times the Chongxuan power!""Isn't that too big a jump?" Jiang Wang cautiously raised an objection."Not fast, not fast," Zuo Guangshu, in order to coax Jiang Wang to follow, also conveniently buttered him up: "With your talent and ability, I don't think even a room with two hundred times the Chongxuan power can trouble you!""Oh, really?" Jiang Wang scratched his head, smiling very shyly."Really, honest truth! I myself adapted... well, it took a few days," Zuo Guangshu hurried a few steps forward: "Hurry, it's this room!"Jiang Wang smiled dotingly, "There's really nothing I can do with you."He stepped up and followed.The transition from the room with ten times the Chongxuan power to the room with a hundred times the Chongxuan power took less than half a day.It could indeed be called incredibly fast.The room with a hundred times the Chongxuan power was a huge square stone chamber.There was nothing inside, exactly as Jiang Wang had first imagined, like a sealed training room.

"Under this kind of pressure, the cost of setting up the environment is extremely high, and it's not easy to maintain, so all the unnecessary things are omitted. From the room with sixty times the Chongxuan power onwards, it's all like this."Zuo Guangshu explained as he walked in, "There are definitely some differences compared to the situation in the Mountain Sea Realm."After entering this room, Jiang Wang clearly felt a disharmony in his body.The terrifying pressure made breathing not so easy. A hundred times the Chongxuan power of the present world was crushing every part of his body.Even the flow of blood was somewhat sluggish.He needed to use Dao Yuan to push it a little.Only after his muscles made adaptive changes did the flow of blood become relatively more natural.

"The environment is a minor matter, the main thing is to adapt to this pressure," Jiang Wang said as he slowly took a step forward.This step seemed steady, but Jiang Wang himself knew, and Zuo Guangshu could see clearly, that he had not maintained his posture.This so-called "posture" was not about etiquette or anything else.It was a physical state that Jiang Wang had long formed as an instinct after countless battles, where he could quickly enter a combat state at any time.In different environments and facing different situations, his body would instinctively adjust to adapt to potential combat.Just like outside the stone gates earlier, at the mere glance of "Uncle Scar," he immediately entered a combat state.The failure to maintain this combat posture undoubtedly showed Jiang Wang's inability to adapt.Although Jiang Wang quickly adjusted, there was naturally an essential difference between instinctive reactions and conscious resistance.

"Come, let me spar with you again!" Zuo Guangshu's voice was a little louder, his beautiful eyes filled with fighting spirit.Having beaten this young man twice in a row, Jiang Wang naturally had no reason to refuse."Then... let's try?"Putting aside all environmental influences, in this empty training room environment, the combat itself was truly tested.The moment they both assumed their stances, a light blue smoky qi suddenly rose from Zuo Guangshu, circling around him like a layer of armor.A change that had never occurred before!Then, with a twist of his feet, he was already close by.It was almost a blue phantom, flashing past in an instant.This speed was unprecedentedly fast, far exceeding his performance in the rooms with fifty times and ten times the Chongxuan power.The Chongxuan power had been enhanced so many times, yet Zuo Guangshu was even faster!Of course, this speed was far from the point where Jiang Wang could not react. It was only when he seized the opportunity and chopped down with his hand turned into a blade...But he struck empty air!At the same time, he was hit in the abdomen by a punch, causing him to arch his body and be directly sent flying!

Jiang Wang realized in the first moment that it was not that Zuo Guangshu was too fast, but that he himself was too slow.He indeed could not immediately adapt to this hundred times the Chongxuan power of the present world's environment.His body could not keep up with his combat awareness. However, Zuo Guangshu, under the cover of that layer of smoky armor, almost completely ignored the influence of the Chongxuan power.While flying backward, Jiang Wang constantly adjusted the details of his body, hoping to adapt quickly and recover to normal. But in such an extreme environment, where could it be achieved immediately?And at this moment, Zuo Guangshu had already caught up, clasping his hands together, and brought down a small cannon hammer, clearly intending to exact revenge and smash him to the ground.At this instant, five sources of light successively lit up on Jiang Wang's chest and abdomen.In an instant, the five mansions shone together, entering the state of the Heavenly Mansion Body.Zuo Guangshu's clasped cannon hammer was held up by a single palm.With a turn of his hand, he had already grasped Zuo Guangshu's cannon hammer, clenched the two clasped fists, and flipped over backward, slamming him to the ground.There was a loud bang.In the state of the five mansions shining together, he extremely strengthened his physical body, protected himself with the light of the five divine abilities, and briefly resisted the influence of the Chongxuan power.This attack was of course stable, accurate, and ruthless...But it was also a bit unfair.It was agreed that the sparring was to adapt to the environment. Exhibiting a peak combat state like the five mansions shining together had no effect on adapting to the environment at all.In the Mountain Sea Realm, which could last from a few days to a few months, how could he maintain the Heavenly Mansion state all the time?

Jiang Wang turned around and saw Zuo Guangshu flipping over and leaping up, as if possessing infinite energy, and rushing towards him again."Again!"In the light blue smoky armor, the youth's eyes flickered, full of unwillingness to admit defeat!Jiang Wang was actually starting to feel a little heartache.But he just stepped on the clear clouds with firm steps, and charged head-on towards him.The two collided. Jiang Wang, his body surrounded by the light of the five mansions, and Zuo Guangshu, enveloped in blue smoky armor, exchanged dozens of blows in an instant...Fist met fist, elbow met palm, knee met knee.Within a small space, the two engaged in the most fierce attack.Finally, with a sword finger from Jiang Wang piercing through the smoky armor, it signaled the end of the battle.With a bend of his sword finger, he followed the momentum and clenched his fist, directly slamming Zuo Guangshu to the ground.Zuo Guangshu lay on the ground."So... so strong!" He was panting continuously.Although the close-quarters combat was short, he had erupted with too much power, leaving him a little weak.Of course, he knew Jiang Wang was very strong, but he had improved a lot during this time and had long adapted to the Chongxuan Purgatory environment... He didn't expect to still be unable to secure a victory.Not even a single chance!

Jiang Wang retracted the light of the five mansion divine abilities, flew down in front of Zuo Guangshu, looked down at him, his eyes gentle: "How do you feel?"Zuo Guangshu gasped twice, then said, "Thank you!"Jiang Wang smiled, "Thank me for what?""Thank you for respecting me, for not really treating me like a child, for not deliberately going easy on me."As Zuo Guangshu spoke, he put his hand on the hand that Jiang Wang extended.Jiang Wang pulled the young man up with a single hand, saying, "Of course I treat you as a child, but in battle, there is no age. Guangshu, you have done very well. In the Taixu Illusionary Realm, you should be able to challenge for the top three in the Inner Mansion realm."Zuo Guangshu had not told him about his recent rankings on the Sword Discussion Platform. Jiang Wang's ability to judge so accurately showed that he had indeed far surpassed the level of the Inner Mansion realm.Glancing at him, Zuo Guangshu finally did not retort anything, but instead asked, "How is my Unwavering Smoky Armor?"Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, then realized he was referring to the light blue smoky armor from earlier. He said with some surprise, "Is that a Dao art you developed yourself?""Naturally," Zuo Guangshu lifted his chin: "It is a Dao art I specifically researched for an environment with a hundred times the Chongxuan power. It can spontaneously resist the environment under extreme Chongxuan power, allowing the caster to exert their combat strength without being affected.""Do you want to learn?" He looked at Jiang Wang, his pride subtly containing anticipation."Of course!" Jiang Wang was very willing to give Zuo Guangshu face outside of battle and acted very enthusiastically: "This kind of profound Dao art is exactly what I have been dreaming of! Teach me quickly!"Zuo Guangshu: ...Thinking about it, he did indeed hope to gain this guy's recognition.But at this moment, he only felt awkwardness.Why could flattery produce a sarcastic effect?Zuo Guangshu took a deep breath and told himself not to mind too much. Perhaps he was being sensitive?"Then let's talk about this Dao art. I think it will be somewhat helpful for our trip to the Mountain Sea Realm...""Why did I adopt the form of smoky qi? Because it has great freedom and can withstand more changes. Specifically manifested in the Dao art, it is..."The two of them began teaching the Dao art in this environment with a hundred times the Chongxuan power.One taught conscientiously, the other learned with bright eyes."You're too much of a genius, aren't you? How did you even think of this step? It's simply astonishing, miraculous, and makes me dumbfounded. I am completely convinced!""..." Zuo Guangshu continued, "Speaking of this Dao art, the most important thing is to understand the influence of primordial power on the environment. Look, starting from the effect of this part of Dao Yuan, it can...""Truly a brilliant and extraordinary idea! Even Huang Weizhen was nothing more than this back then? You are only sixteen this year, and at sixteen, you can create such a profound Dao art. This is truly terrifying talent!""Just say a few words less!" Zuo Guangshu finally couldn't help it: "Otherwise, you teach?"Jiang Wang blinked, not understanding what was wrong with the kids these days.You praise them and they're still unhappy?

"Of course you teach, you teach," Jiang Wang said awkwardly.He had originally thought that after beating this young man several times, turning a perfectly handsome young gentleman into a little beggar wandering the world, it was time to have a good chat and rely on his affinity to ease the relationship.One should not hold back in battle, but there is true affection in the world, after all. Praising a few words doesn't take effort, why not do it?Unexpectedly, this child was so ignorant of favors.Duke Jiang of Qi had no choice but to silently close his mouth and listen to the little Duke of Great Chu lecture.To be fair, the Unwavering Smoky Armor was indeed a very remarkable Dao art. It almost perfectly solved the problem it needed to solve – resisting the Chongxuan power in the natural environment.No matter how extreme the Chongxuan environment is, as long as there is primordial power, there is a way for primordial power to exist. This Dao art starts from the level of primordial power, driven by the cultivator's own Dao Yuan, and uses a formation-like method to construct an environment covering the cultivator himself with smoky armor.Fighting environment with environment.Every part of the Dao art was created for this purpose. Not a single step was redundant, and Jiang Wang could hardly find any room for improvement.Zuo Guangshu's talent in Dao art could be glimpsed from this art.Jiang Wang learned diligently, and Zuo Guangshu taught with effort, and soon he mastered this Dao art. However, Zuo Guangshu was based on water element. After grasping the essence of this Dao art, Jiang Wang changed to using his more proficient fire element as the basis.As soon as the Unwavering Smoky Armor was activated, fiery red smoky qi swirled around his body, like wearing a suit of red armor.Jiang Wang stood suspended in the air, feeling a rare sense of ease.The extreme Chongxuan power environment seemed to have completely lost its influence.His limbs and bones, nothing was unsatisfactory.

Zuo Guangshu, wearing a light blue smoky armor, was suspended opposite him.The Unwavering Smoky Armor had of course undergone the test of battle, but Jiang Wang still needed to experience more personally.Therefore, a spar was very necessary.The smoky qi made each other's faces less clear.The man in the fiery red smoky qi, burning as if in flames at this moment, was so dazzling that it was difficult to look at directly.In Zuo Guangshu's heart, a conversation suddenly came to mind—The small him, looking up and asking: "Brother, Grandpa said you created another powerful Dao art! Are you the most talented person in our Chu?""How could I be?" That person reached out and ruffled his hair: "I'll be waiting for you to teach me."You didn't wait for me...

"I'm ready," Jiang Wang's voice sounded.This voice was calm, and so real.This was not in the Taixu Illusionary Realm.This was in reality, in Huaichang Prefecture of Great Chu, in Luosan, in the Mountain Sea Purgatory.All that was nostalgic, all that was past, would forever remain in his heart.All that was real, all that was clear, was in the present.

Zuo Guangshu clenched his fists, his knuckles crackling, and in an instant, his body was like a galloping horse, smoky qi surging like a divine demon: "Then I'm coming!"
