Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 681 - 667: How Did You Do It?

Ling Di initially did not react.

It took a few breaths for him to realize that this feeling was extremely similar to the last time he advanced in realm a very long time ago.

If there was any difference, it was that the power surging through the meridians of his whole body was even more majestic this time!

"Crack!"

A soft sound, as if some crucial blockage in his body shattered.

Old Dog squinted his eyes and hummed comfortably, as if he’d just undergone a thunderstrike tempering without actually crossing a Thunder Tribulation. His spiritual power compressed and purified, his aura suddenly soared.

To him, it seemed like a very long time, being able to sense every change in detail within his body. But to Jiang Yuan, it was merely the progress bar completing after using an Item Card for ten seconds or so.

From Mahayana Peak to Tribulation Crossing Realm, done!

[Contract Pet Ling Di, upgrade successful]

[Ling Di’s Favorability +1000]

[Ling Di’s Favorability +1000]

......

As lines of prompts popped up in Jiang Yuan’s vision, Ling Di failed to restrain the aura from his newly advanced realm, causing a Great Demon’s might to suddenly sweep down from the mountaintop, startling countless Demon Beasts.

"Oh no!" Wan Mingchuan sensed the terrifying aura and his face turned pale instantly!

The remnant soul of Lin Feng attached to him sighed, "Run quickly! What are you standing there for?"

After Wan Mingchuan reacted, he fled towards the deeper part of the Secret Realm in a dash. Only when the terrifying Great Demon showed no intent of pursuing him did he murmur, "I don’t even know if your luck, kid, is good or bad.

If I say you have bad luck, this journey has been filled with unexpected encounters, richer than all my experiences combined. No matter how dangerous it gets, you always manage to escape death by the skin of your teeth;

But if I say you have good luck, just after a hard battle ended, you encountered spatial turbulence that nearly got you killed, and right after catching your breath, a Great Demon appeared from who knows where.

Just from the aura leaked just now, it’s at least a Refining Void realm Great Demon. You’re just a newly advanced small cultivator in the Fusion Realm, not even enough to fill its teeth gaps. If it sneezes, you’ll die and your Dao will vanish."

Wan Mingchuan didn’t respond, just lay flat on the back of his mount Wanli, burying his head and fleeing with all his might.

Ever since he left his master to traverse the Otherworld alone, he vowed that he wouldn’t return home unless he achieved something in cultivation!

The brothers and sisters in the small courtyard were all much stronger than him, what meaning was there to return with low strength? Wouldn’t he have to rely on his master’s protection again?

I must grow into a Great Cultivator who can stand alone!

Currently, encountering a Great Demon only to flee in panic, eventually, he must strive to slay the Great Demon and bring the spoils back as a gift for his master!

"Why did that silly kid start running off?" Jiang Yuan saw the scene behind through the Communication Stone and hastily reminded, "Ling Di, it seems Xiao Chuanzi was scared off by something, quickly follow and check it out."

Immersed in the joy of successfully overcoming the chasm and advancing to the Tribulation Crossing Realm, Old Dog was startled by Jiang Yuan’s words, "Woof woof? Your Dog Lord is here, what could scare him?"

He turned his head and saw that the kid had indeed vanished. Slapping his dog’s leg, he couldn’t afford to be excited any longer, he bowed to Jiang Yuan and thanked, "Master used a Secret Technique to help me advance in realm, Ling Di has nothing to repay with, can only pledge allegiance with my life, from now on I live as master’s dog; even in death, I’ll strive to be master’s ghost!"

Jiang Yuan: ...

Just listen to yourself, what kind of nonsense is this, is it appropriate? Why does it feel like you’re planning to repay kindness with malice?

"Great gratitude is unsaid, watch my actions in the future!" Old Dog picked up the Communication Stone and went to chase after Wan Mingchuan, afraid that he’d recklessly bump into danger within the Secret Realm.

Furthermore, he really couldn’t find words to express his gratitude.

This was a direct advancement to the Tribulation Crossing Realm, not a joke!

The greatest and most important matter in his life was resolved by his master in such a casual manner, right now he felt as if he was in a dream, unreal.

Ling Di needed time to calm down properly, at least to take a breath and carefully consider exactly what happened. What kind of Secret Technique could allow a Mahayana peak Demon Cultivator to advance to the Tribulation Crossing Realm without crossing a Thunder Tribulation?

If word got out, surely no cultivator would believe it!

Daydreaming couldn’t be this absurd, woof?

Fortunately, Wan Mingchuan and Wanli, having just escaped from spatial turbulence, were already exhausted and hadn’t run too far, also being very cautious not to rashly enter dangerous areas.

Old Dog crouched on a tree branch observing from a distance, Jiang Yuan noticed and said, "Your aura is still unstable from just advancing, rest well and adapt. I’ll contact Xiao Chuanzi and try for him as well."

What did you say? Woofing woof! Didn’t hear wrong, right?

What does it mean to try for him as well?

Try what? Let Wan Mingchuan also break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm? 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Ling Di was immensely stunned, and later discovered he overthought it—in the conversation with master not long after, Xiao Chuanzi’s aura ascended, directly advancing from first level of Fusion Realm to first level of Heartbeat Realm.

Similarly, he didn’t experience a thunder tribulation, but his aura was no different from someone who had advanced through it.

He scratched his ear with his paw, unable to fathom how it was achieved;

Wan Mingchuan easily accepted the sudden advancement of his own realm—since Master said it could be done, it must be possible!

He trusted his master unconditionally and never considered whether it made any logical sense.

The mount Wanli was stunned, given his own low strength and lack of knowledge, witnessing Mr. Jiang helping his disciple directly advance in realm, he dared not question it, feeling both astonished and envious.

Fortunately, the young master was very generous with him; no matter what treasures they found along the way, he got his share. Seeing his cultivation progress rapidly, it seemed it wouldn’t take long before he could break through again!

"Master’s secret technique seems to be usable only once, or else if used a few more times, Xiao Chuanzi might catch up to me," Ling Di wagged his tail like a propeller, trying to analyze what he saw and experienced.

However, it never occurred to him that it was simply a matter of clicking and using an item card.

Qing Niao couldn’t figure it out either.

She was dragged out of the mushroom house by her brother, saying he wanted her to see something good.

Then she felt something strange in her body, her spiritual power surging, her aura ascending, and before she could react, she advanced from the eighth level of the Fusion Realm to the eighth level of the Heartbeat Realm.

Her stature suddenly grew taller, the once little girl now looked a bit older, like a lively ten-year-old girl.

[Side Quest: Qing Niao]

[Quest 4: Help Qing Niao advance to the Heartbeat Realm has been completed, Reward: Rare Medicinal Materials Random Package +1 has been issued]

[Quest 5: Help Qing Niao advance to the Golden Core Realm. Reward: Building Upgrade Card +1]

"What happened?!" Feeling the obvious change in spiritual power inside her, looking down at her grown body, Qing Niao exclaimed: "Brother, what did you do?! Why am I now..."

She rubbed her face hard with her hands, feeling still unclear, then plunged into the Furong Spirit Pool to calm down. Anyway, that annoying big white snake wasn’t home, she could swim secretly without being discovered.

A few seconds later, Qing Niao emerged from the water, looking at him worshipfully, her voice sweet and smiling: "Thank you, brother, for helping me advance in realm, you’re the best brother in the world, you’re so good to me!"

That’s no lie, a string of +favorable impression flashed in the vision, and Jiang Yuanjian, the reincarnated bigshot, didn’t ask for details, satisfied as he went to upgrade Hu Zhile.

"Wait a minute! Brother..." She jumped out of the water and grabbed his sleeve, "Can you help me advance again? Don’t you think the Heartbeat Realm is still too low?"

She had long suspected her brother’s true identity was the celestial fire from above the nine heavens, a True Immortal level, so helping a mortal cultivator advance in realm must come at some cost.

But seeing his relaxed expression, clearly having strength to spare, by acting a little spoiled and cute, maybe she could head straight for Golden Core.

"Don’t be too greedy." Jiang Yuan shook his head with a smile, thinking each of you only gets one card, no matter what choices become gray afterward, even having more items won’t help, dreaming of leaping to the heavens?

"Alright then... Thank you, brother! Do you need any help from me?" Qing Niao immediately understood there must be some kind of limitation, even if her brother was a celestial fire body, he couldn’t violate the Heavenly Dao Laws.

Lucky me! Smart me!

Hehehe, after reincarnation, clinging to the golden thigh and recognizing him as a brother had its perks, this brother truly gave without holding back. Moreover, when he gave, he never expected anything in return.

Sure enough, Jiang Yuan smiled, patting her head, "Do your cultivation well, I’ll call you if needed."

"Alright! I will definitely work hard in cultivation, to help you more in the future!" She thought in her heart that it was indeed means of an Immortal from the nine heavens, truly powerful!

In her previous life, she was just a little short of ascending, but unfortunately ultimately failed. In this life, she must successfully ascend to the nine heavens to become an Immortal!

After Hu Zhile’s void journey, she completely shook off her chains, and it was a time of great ambition.

The Venerable Family suddenly used a secret technique, causing her to soar directly from the newly advanced Body Forging Realm to Bone Refining Realm without needing to undergo a thunder tribulation. Both surprised and thrilled, she didn’t know how to express her gratitude and admiration for the Venerable Family.

"Cultivate well, strive to break through again soon!" Jiang Yuan easily garnered a series of favorable impressions, making his way out of the cave steps up to the tree house.

Yun Mo was the member with the lowest realm and the least presence in the small courtyard.

After dealing with Eagle Twenty-One and Demon Cultivator Qing Wu, and finding Eagle Fifty-Third named Wanli to follow Wan Mingchuan, he held no grudges, nor did he have any strong feuds.

With an ordinary spirit root, even though finding a suitable cultivation technique sped up his cultivation substantially, amidst the multitude of experts in the courtyard, he wasn’t very noticeable. Besides Jiang Yuan’s occasional need for a mount, he spent his days cultivating and nights going with Hu Zhile to Carefree City to fight monsters and level up, living a flat yet regular life.

Because he had no skills or special traits, Yun Mo never dared to dream of an instant rise to the heavens.

When he found out as Mr. Jiang had said, he instantaneously broke through from the Gathering Spirit Realm to the Wisdom Realm, he was so shocked that he knelt!

According to the established rule of survival of the fittest among demon cultivators, it was normal for a lagging member like himself to lack cultivation resources, but Mr. Jiang always treated everyone equally, ensuring he got his share of everything, never minding he contributed little to the courtyard.

Careful calculation reveals every single item received from Mr. Jiang, whether it was clothing, food, shelter, elixir, magical treasure, or cultivation technique, was incredibly valuable, and the few ordinary demon cores he hunted weren’t worth even a supplement.

"What’s this about? Get up." Jiang Yuan helped him up, smiling as he instructed, "Calm your mind and cultivate well, everything else is illusory, true and solid power is your own!"
