Nine days!
Jiang Yi realized a low-tier dao pattern in just nine days. If other people knew his incredible progress, they would be completely shocked.
Realizations were qualitatively different from epiphany. The latter was a flash of an idea, and in an instance, one was suddenly triggered to enter a magical state. Epiphany could only be come across by chance. Even powerful people like the Nine Thearchs could never think about forcing themselves to achieve an epiphany!
For example, Jiang Yi grasped Binding of Wind and Power of Fire dao pattern through epiphany. The time needed for epiphany was very brief. It might be as fast as a few minutes or as long as a few days.
There was an old saying that ‘ascending in a single day by an epiphany’. This was used to describe the miraculous part of epiphany.
Realizations—on the other hand—were about comprehending a specific dao pattern, to testify and detect some ideas one had in mind. This was steady progress. After all, it was very possible that one made the wrong deductions and had to start over.
The most difficult part of dao pattern realizations was the basics. Once one figured out the basics, one would be able to realize the dao patterns, barring any accidents. The only difference was just the time needed. Those who were surprisingly high geniuses needed about half of a month; those whose talents were not very high might need several months or even years. Jiang Yi realized a dao pattern in nine days; his talents were definitely at the top level.
Of course, he was in the state of the Union of Heaven and Man, which multiplied the speed of the process. Thus, by calculation, he was quite gifted but not yet at the top level.
This was the amazing part of the Union of Heaven and Man. In history, people who became the absolute masters might not necessarily possess such a state, but those who had usually achieved great accomplishments as long as they didn’t die young.
Hoo-Hoo!
He sighed with emotions and took a few deep breaths. Taking out the Thearch Palace to check Jiang Xiaonu and the little fox inside, he let them be upon seeing them in the middle of their cultivation.
He swallowed a few pellets of energy elixirs with water before calling in those two Heaven Monarch guards and asking about the recent happenings in the city. When he made sure that Qian Wanguan’s plan went very well and the city was calm, he continued with his seclusion.
One could only encounter the dao patterns by serendipity. Since he had the chance now, naturally, he would try his best to completely realize this dao pattern first. The essence force could be cultivated any time, and he wasn’t much help to the matters in the city. Therefore, he might as well not return to the city.
...
One couldn’t feel the passing of time during cultivation. In a blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Jiang Yi sat cross-legged on the thunder ridges, cultivating quietly. This had already become a unique scene near the Thunder Mountains. The martial artists, who came to the Thunder Mountains, would take a look at Jiang Yi first. After seeing him, the group would sit cross-legged under the Thunder Mountains, relieved. Additionally, precisely because of Jiang Yi, the orders around the Thunder Mountains were very good; and no one made any deadly strike when competing for the thunder stones.
Swish! Swish!
One day, dozens of air-piercing sounds reverberated in the direction of the Sky Thunder City, alerting the martial artists under the Thunder Mountains. They instantly rose up in panic and bowed at that group of people respectfully. “Greetings to Lord Qian, Big Sister Luan, Lord Yang, Lord Niu, and the other lords!”
Qian Wanguan, Yang Dong, Niu Deng, Feng Luan, and the rest came here together. The martial artists down the Thunder Mountains didn’t have much impression on the others. Many people didn’t even feel fearful towards Feng Luan, Niu Deng, and Yang Dong. However, their eyes were filled with terror when they looked at Qian Wanguan!
Over these three months, Qian Wanguan had made himself so memorable to the crowd. Hundreds of men were executed by him in the past three months. Among them, there were nearly ten Heaven Monarchs. How could the crowd not be frightened by him?
Those who were killed were disobedient or had the intention to rebel. The power of the secret agency had been fully shown in the past three months.
Jiang Yi had left the city for several months. The city had been very calm. As time went by, many people forgot about Jiang Yi’s fierceness and his butcher’s sword. Therefore, many people talked about him on his back. Someone assembled together to discuss in private, someone talked drivel, and someone conspired against him.
No matter how concealed the meetings were, Qian Wanguan always received the news the first time they convened. Then, he quietly made arrangements, sent people to execute this person in public at the city gate the instance they left the city, and privately announced this person’s crimes.
The secret agency was everywhere; people had no idea who was a member of this secret agency. It might be an old friend or the woman in the Hundred Flower Inn that one held in arms to sleep last night. As hundreds of heads were chopped off in the last few months, Qian Wanguan became the second-generation killing god. No one dared to gang together or have any rebellious thoughts.
“Rise!”
Qian Wanguan smiled and waved his hand. A lot of people felt a sudden chill on his back. Every time someone was executed in the city gate, Qian Wanguan was always smiling. Many people thought that the name ‘smiling tiger’ was more suitable for Qian Wanguan instead.
Swish!
Feng Luan and Qian Wanguan flew straight to Jiang Yi with the group. When they saw the two guards going to say something, Feng Luan waved her hand decisively and said, “You don’t have to say anything. There’s something important this time. Chief Jiang must return to the city.”
Feng Luan sounded very determined, her voice transmission sounding in Jiang Yi’s soul spirit simultaneously. His clothes fluttered even though there was no wind. The dust was swept away. He opened his eyes and glanced over. “Is Big Sister leaving now?”
Seeing the group nodding, Jiang Yi rose up and turned into a stream of white light, shooting to the Sky Thunder City. He waved his big hand and shouted, “Everyone, listen up. Immediately go back to the city and gather at the city plaza.”
Clang!
The martial artists down the Thunder Mountains acted instantly. No one hesitated. They all flew to the city as fast as possible, in good order, without any chaos.
With two killing gods around, who dared to disobey the order would definitely end up in brutal death.
After less than one hour, Jiang Yi returned to the city first with the group. He swept at Niu Wang waiting at the city gate and asked quietly, “Where is Big Sister Bell?”
Niu Wang answered eagerly. “At the city plaza. If Chief Jiang comes later, I’m afraid she would have left.”
Swish!
Jiang Yi didn’t have the time to greet the commanders guarding the city gate; he immediately turned into a stream of light and dashed right to the city plaza.
There were a lot of people in the city plaza. Feng Luan knew Jiang Yi too well. After getting the message from Xiao Hong, she immediately asked everyone in the city to gather on the city plaza and had Qing Yu to stall Big Sister Bell at the same time. She and Qian Wanguan went to invite Jiang Yi back.
Swish!
Jiang Yi rushed from afar. He was relieved to find an emerald green figure on the city plaza. He slowed down. He and Big Sister Bell looked at each other from a distance. Even though they had so many things to talk about right now—when their eyes met, they felt that they didn’t have to say anything further. They understood each other’s minds, even if the words were left unsaid.
Xiao Hong was 30 meters in front of Big Sister Bell, kneeling on the ground. The makeup on her rather good-looking face was already messed up because of the tears. She didn’t dare to cry out loud. She only stared at Big Sister Bell, with tears constantly dripping from her eyes.
Twenty thousand men gathered behind Xiao Hong in an orderly arrangement. They looked grave and had their eyes fixed on Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi stopped when he was 300 meters away. He and Big Sister Bell looked at each other for five minutes. When the over 20,000 martial artists that returned from the Thunder Mountains all gathered behind him, Jiang Yi raised a hand and shouted, “Say farewells to Big Sister Bell!”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Except for Jiang Yi, everyone—including Feng Luan and Qian Wanguan—genuflected and shouted, “Farewell, Big Sister Bell.”
How loud the roars of tens of thousands of men were!
Right now, more low-grade martial artists’ ears tingled. The Sky Thunder City shook slightly at this moment. The deafening roars caused the world to tremble and echoed around half of the Sky Thunder Island, resounding for a long time.
