“That’s right!”
Mo Lingqiu acted confused as he asked, “This Ten Thousand Domain Tournament happens once every ten years, and it is always held in Saint Spirit Domain. Is there a problem?”
“No problem!”
Jiang Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a heavy tone, “Lord Mo, I have been admiring Saint Spirit Mountain on my own for a long time. If you had mentioned it earlier, I would have agreed to go with you!”
“Hahaha!”
Mo Lingqiu and Mo Shangxing exchanged a look once again and laughed out loud. Mo Lingqiu mocked Jiang Yi, saying, “You want to look for someone under Saint Spirit Mountain, right?”
“Uh?”
Jiang Yi did not expect that Mo Lingqiu already knew.
However, on second thought, Mo Lingqiu had sent subordinates to the Stellarsky Domain. It would be easy for him to find out about Yi Piaopiao as well. He nodded profusely and said, “That’s right. My mother is Yi Piaopiao, and she’s being crushed under Saint Spirit Mountain as we speak.”
“Jiang Yi!”
Mo Lingqiu’s expression turned serious. “I can bring you to Saint Spirit Domain, but you must promise that you will not do anything rash. What your mother did is known throughout the Earth Domain, and your... grandfather is extremely furious. He feels he has completely lost his reputation. Until now, I don’t think he has calmed down. You can go and take a look, but you cannot reveal your true identity, do you understand? Otherwise, not only would you be unable to save your own mother, but you might also be chased out. Your mother might suffer even worse punishment!”
Jiang Yi’s gaze darkened. The Poison Spirit had said the same thing to him as well. Given his skills now, he would probably be killed if the people at Saint Spirit Domain knew who he was. Mo Lingqiu was bringing him this time, but if the matter got blown up, perhaps even Mo Lingqiu would be dragged down with him.
He lowered his head and stayed silent for a long time. Finally, he looked up and asked quietly, “Lord Mo, what must I do to save my mother?”
“Become stronger!”
Mo Lingqiu answered confidently. “Only if you keep getting stronger and become a Demon-Killing Battle God or Titled Battle God, would your grandfather be willing to accept you. Then, he might agree to let your mother go prematurely. If he doesn’t, you can train until you become a King-Ranked martial artist. You would probably be able to kill your way into Saint Spirit Domain and save your mother by force, right?”
“That’s right!”
The fighting spirit in Jiang Yi had been ignited by Mo Lingqiu. His eyes lit up a thousand times. Through gritted teeth, he said, “If they don’t let her go, I will kill my way into Saint Spirit Domain!
“Thank you, Lord! My gratitude cannot be expressed with words!”
Jiang Yi bowed deeply towards Mo Lingqiu. Both Mo Shangxing and Mo Lingqiu grinned widely. Mo Lingqiu had accomplished his mission this time. They had just done Jiang Yi a huge favor. They guessed that Jiang Yi would probably feel eternally grateful to the Mo Clan now.
Instead of adding flowers to Jiang Yi’s brocade, it was much more useful to help him out where he needed it!
The Earth Emanations Sovereign favored Jiang Yi. Now, they were doing Jiang Yi favors before he rose to power, so that he would remember keeping these favors in his heart. If they only helped Jiang Yi after he rose to power, it would be meaningless to him. Even a Primordial Spiritual Treasure would be useless to him then.
Since he had gotten what he wanted, Mo Lingqiu prepared to go home. Before he left, he said, “Jiang Yi, your essence force has already reached the level of a peak-stage God General, right? There are still ten more days. Train yourself well. Once the time comes, let Shangxing bring you to Earth Emanations City. Then, I will take you to Saint Spirit Domain.”
Mo Lingqiu left, but Jiang Yi’s mind was a mess. His emotions were in a whirl.
He had imagined going to Saint Spirit Domain for a long time. Many times—even in his dreams, he saw himself going to Saint Spirit Domain and finding Yi Piaopiao. Now, this dream was about to become a reality. One could only imagine how moved and agitated he felt.
In fact—after he got back from North River City, he had thought about going to Saint Spirit Domain immediately. He had the corpse of a Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast with him, and this corpse was extremely valuable. If he sold it, he was confident of obtaining at least ten million divine roots. In addition to this, so many people had been giving him gifts during this time. It would not be difficult at all for him to raise ten million divine roots. Even if all of that was not enough, he was prepared to ask Mo Lingqiu and the others for help. That would help him teleport there.
In the end, however, he rejected this idea. The Poison Spirit had said before that if he went to Saint Spirit Domain with the skills he had now, he would be killed for sure. Even if he was not, he would cause Yi Piaopiao to suffer even more.
This was why... he did not dare to go!
Now, at last, he had the opportunity. He could go to Saint Spirit Domain with Mo Lingqiu in secret and take a look at Saint Spirit Mountain as well. He could even think of a way to steal a glance at Yi Piaopiao. Just thinking about all of these sent chills running down his spine.
Someone who had never met his mother since he was born would naturally have a fuzzy impression of his mother. One would think that he even felt no attachment to her whatsoever. However, Yi Piaopiao was different. Wherever he went in the Stellarsky Domain, Jiang Yi could feel the hard work that she put in and sacrifices that she made for him. He could see the plans she had for him and feel the deep love that she felt for him.
The statue on Starfall Island and the image inside that wooden statue clarified Jiang Yi’s impression of Yi Piaopiao. Yi Piaopiao had set up so many things. She was omnipresent in the Stellarsky Domain through her footsteps and her stories. This made Jiang Yi feel deep respect and love for his own mother. At last, these turned into a deep longing.
Later, he found out that Yi Piaopiao was being severely punished by her own family clan because of Jiang Yi and the Stellarsky Domain; she was being crushed under a divine mountain for a thousand years. This made him feel incomparable pain. He wanted to go and take Yi Piaopiao’s place so badly. He wanted to take a sword and kill whoever he had to in order to rescue Yi Piaopiao.
“Ten days! Mother, ten days more, and I can go to the Saint Spirit Domain. I will think of a way to see you for sure!”
Jiang Yi mumbled to himself and quickly left Mo Shangxing’s yard. He did not even go to see Commander Liu or Xiao Leng. Once again, he returned to the Demon-Killing Pavilion and entered the thousand-time secret cultivation room.
Ten days was a long time.
In the Lower-Domain, that was equivalent to almost a year. Jiang Yi could not waste this time. He thought of secluding himself and improving his heavenly powers to the level of a God King. At the same time, he wanted to realize the Art of Concealment and find the Heavenly Springs Rhythm.
Although he was in the thousand-time secret cultivation room, his progress was a far cry from what it was back in the Primitive Mystic Realm or Dao Heaven Mystic Realm. What’s more, it was taking him far too long to advance his Art of Concealment. After thinking about it for a long while, Jiang Yi almost gave in to the temptation to sell the Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast for battle merits and enter the Primitive Mystic Realm again.
After pondering for a long while, Jiang Yi finally decided not to do anything stupid. This Chaos Beast’s corpse was way too valuable. He had to keep it. For all he knew, it might come in useful to him later on. He spent some time trying to calm his own soul spirit down before entering seclusion once again. Without concern for anything else, he focused on cultivating and realizing.
...
After cultivating for a long time...!
Time passed very quickly. Jiang Yi was getting used to the long days in the Higher Domain as well. It was normal for Higher-Domain martial artists to take months or years when they went into seclusion. Martial artists who had attained the Heaven God rank and above had long life spans already. To mortals in the Lower Domain, this meant that the martial artists of the Higher Domain seemed to be immortal.
Jiang Yi cultivated for six days before his heavenly powers finally began to look different. They had condensed significantly and had reached the Battle King Realm. However, this meant that the progress of his cultivation had slowed down a thousand times. Indeed, the higher he climbed, the more difficult it became for him to improve. If he wanted to bring his heavenly powers into the Demon-Killing Battle God Realm and if he could not enter the Primitive Mystic Realm to do so, he really could not imagine how long he would take to get there.
On the ninth day, Jiang Yi had made significant progress on his Art of Concealment. Jiang Yi had even managed to refine some soul spirit immortal herbs. However, these were too low-grade; they did not do much for his soul spirit. His soul spirit was still stuck at the peak-stage God General Realm.
Jiang Yi was quite satisfied with his progress on his heavenly powers and the Art of Concealment. However, there was one thing he was not satisfied with: the Heavenly Springs Rhythm. Every other day, he would search for it but to no avail. It was almost as if he had dreamt about his trip to the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm, and the guardian lied to him.
Before making it to the tenth day, he came out of seclusion.
As he walked out of the secret cultivation room, Mo Shangxing floated over like a ghost. He smiled slightly as he looked at Jiang Yi. “Make arrangements. We will go to Earth Emanations City in a while. The talents from Earth Emanations Domain who are taking part in the tournament have already gathered. They were all waiting for you...”
