Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 797 - 440: The Pure Panwu Heaven Opening Axe! With Thunder..._2
"Whoosh!"
The space surged violently, and Jiang Shu’s figure quickly shuttled through the Sixth Floor.
The Eternal Tower contained its own space; each floor was vast and boundless, impossible to reach the edges by flight.
As Jiang Shu unleashed the Dao patterns within his Kunpeng Demon Wings, he turned to engage in combat with his clone, launching one Divine Skill after another from his hands.
In the end, he deployed numerous Divine Skills, including the Law of Heaven and Earth, Panwu Heaven Opening Axe, One Power Innate Chaotic Qi, and Immortal Acupoint Technique, to withstand the clone’s Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist.
With a thought, the mark of the Eternal Tower within him activated, and he left the tower, reappearing at the base.
...
Trading Building.
After paying respects to Luo Venerable and chatting briefly, Jiang Shu made no delay and proceeded directly to the Trading Building.
He scanned one task after another.
In the Trading Building, he did not reveal his secret of having cleared the Fifth Floor. Compared to the mystical locations in the Inner Ring of the Star Ruins Realm, he found the Ancient Demon Sect Relics more suitable for his further cultivation.
For instance, in the Great Tomb of some unknown Daoist Monarch of the Vientiane Realm, there was the Transformation Dao, which he could advance by spending more time comprehending.
Coming to the Trading Building was merely to divert attention and follow a procedure.
Once he reached the mystical location, he could naturally shuttle between the Two Realms and return to the Ancient Demon Sect Relics.
After advancing his strength further, he would tackle the Fifth Floor again, passing through quietly unlike now.
"Indeed, the mystical locations accessible after clearing the Fourth Floor are quite ordinary, with some not even matching the treasured sites in the outskirts of the Ancient Demon Sect Relics."
Jiang Shu showed no change in expression as he browsed through the information, standing alongside a Tenth Rank elder.
Having been at the Trading Building for many years, the elder had seen countless geniuses enter mystical locations through their establishment.
Some gained insights there, achieving better results in the Eternal Tower.
Others also gained some insights, yet wasted their energy without effectively boosting their combat power. A one or two percent increase couldn’t compare to the strength of the Eternal Tower replicas.
The choice depends entirely on the genius themselves.
Regardless, their Trading Building never suffered losses. Every genius entering a mystical location had to collect various treasures for them.
Simultaneously, they could forge good relations with these geniuses. Regardless of whether the geniuses advanced or realized they wasted their energy, they would inevitably rise to the Tenth or even Eleventh Rank in the future.
Even in the Inner Ring of the Star Ruins Realm, they would be notable figures.
"Lord Jiang, take a look at these mystical locations, they are quite suitable for comprehending Laws."
Seeing Jiang Shu seemingly hesitating, the Tenth Rank elder spoke up, displaying some mystical locations.
"No need, I have already decided."
Jiang Shu shook his head, settling on a mystical location of Thunder Law.
He had delved into many Daos—Power Dao, Devouring Dao, Chaos Dao, Five Elements Dao, and Original Dao—all more significant than Thunder Dao.
Yet, Thunder Law was linked to some of his Divine Skills, like the often employed Five Elements Chaotic Thunder Tribulation Dragon Transformation Technique.
Visiting a mystical location could enhance him somewhat; if not, it would be just going through the motions.
The important thing was to later showcase his post-Fifth Floor accomplishments in the Trading Building and opt for another mystical location.
Guided by the Tenth Rank elder, Jiang Shu quickly entered a Great Array.
Space Travel was like entering an extended wormhole, where fierce space turbulence tore through everything, plunging the entire world into chaos.
Some Eighth Rank cultivators would perish in such chaotic transfers.
Even some Ninth Rank cultivators might suffer severe injuries.
Of course, this was nothing for geniuses who could access the Eternal Tower from the base.
Not to mention Jiang Shu, who already possessed profound expertise in space.
Jiang Shu even contemplated the "Great Void Heart Scripture" amidst this chaotic world.
"Rumble!"
The lightning sea was vast and boundless. Fierce thunders violently descended from layers of thunderclouds, each bolt several miles thick, with terrifying thunder force seemingly capable of annihilating all living beings.
Wherever lightning struck, a Thunder Crystal appeared.
Upon entering the mystical location, Jiang Shu saw in the distance a figure rapidly shuttling through spaces, rushing to collect Thunder Crystals where thunder faded.
"The space comprehension already surpassing Yu Heng back then. Even such an existence only dares retrieve Thunder Crystals later."
Jiang Shu observed from afar several more powerful presences bathing under the thunder, some even being Tenth Rank experts.
They had already comprehended a Law, clearly intending to use thunder to refine their bodies or comprehend Thunder Law in this mystical location.
After all, whether for Tenth Rank experts in the Star Ruins Realm or Vientiane Realm entities in the Cang Mang Domain, comprehending a Great Dao or Law was far from sufficient.
"Because I passed the Eternal Tower’s Fourth Floor, I could enter this Thunder Sea. It would be extremely difficult for other Ninth Rank cultivators to enter here. Even children of great powers would likely pay a significant price."
"The mystical locations accessible from the Fourth Floor feature many Tenth Rank experts. Once I reach the Eternal Tower’s Fifth Floor, the accessible mystical locations might all be inhabited by Tenth Rank presences."
Jiang Shu mused inwardly, raising his head to observe the gathering of thunderclouds above.
Blood Crystals fused totalled over eighty, but further fusion was increasingly challenging. This wasn’t just due to his limited progress in Blood Essence Dao comprehension.
There was also the constraint of his body, unable to advance further.
Opting for the Thunder Sea, he intended to refine his body with thunder.
After all, the Heavenly Rank Divine Power taught by his master, the Five Elements Chaotic Thunder Tribulation Dragon Transformation Technique, was just right to deploy in this Thunder Sea.
"If body refinement through thunder could lead to further progress, it might allow for the fusion of additional Blood Crystals, enhancing the understanding of the Blood Essence Dao, a possible form of feedback."
"Moreover, thunder can refine not only the body but also the soul. At that point, attempting soul vacation and pure soul refinement in thunder is entirely possible, as I hold Soul Crystals to continuously recover."
Jiang Shu’s figure shuttled through the Thunder Sea. In the most central area, the thunder was undoubtedly the most violent, with each bolt possessing the force to annihilate Ninth Rank cultivators.
Even Jiang Shu himself dared not approach carelessly.
After all, could he withstand not just one thunderbolt but a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand?
Not to mention, surrounding powerful presence were all Tenth Rank, each one’s strength far exceeding his.
The most suitable area for him was still slightly away from the center.
Here resided numerous powerful Ninth Rank cultivators; however... every location with the densest Thunder Origin Qi was occupied, divided into individual cultivation fields.
"It seems strength is the universal language anywhere."
"Lacking strength means remaining outside forever, scavenging Thunder Crystals where lightning dissipates. These Thunder Crystals, albeit valuable, mean little to top Ninth Rank cultivators."
"The existence with some Thunder Law cannot surpass pure Thunder Origin beneath the thunder."
"Not to mention, these cultivation fields, due to frequent lightning strikes, are countless times richer in Thunder Crystals compared to the outside."
Observing the thunder’s descent and its changes, Jiang Shu directly chose a location on the outer center where the Thunder Origin Qi was densest, striding toward it.
His time was exceedingly valuable.
Having decided to cultivate in the Thunder Sea, he naturally aimed for the best spot accessible to a Ninth Rank cultivator!
After all, it was simply... a matter of fighting!
