Chapter 752 Paying the Price for His Arrogance!
Jiang Wang smiled and said in a calm tone, "That senior is the Primordial Ancestor. I believe Senior Tu should have heard of his name."
"The Primordial Ancestor?"
Tu Xiangrui's face instantly turned to shock. He staggered back a few steps, his voice filled with disbelief, "It's actually the Primordial Ancestor! Legend has it that he was the strongest being in the Chaos Realm, a figure from the same era as the Great God Pangu, who has long since disappeared. I never imagined that he would be sleeping in the secret realm and even pass on his legacy to you! Little guy, you are so lucky, and so incredibly powerful!"
Jiang Wang smiled and said in a calm tone, "It was only by chance that I gained the favor of the Primordial Ancestor and thus received his inheritance."
Tu Xiangrui took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and looked at Jiang Wang with an increasingly respectful tone: "Little fellow, you have received the inheritance of the Primordial Ancestor and have also cultivated the Nine Extremes Primordial Technique. Your future achievements will surely be limitless."
"If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. My Tu family will definitely support you in every way."
Jiang Wang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Tu Xiangrui, saying, "Thank you for your support, Senior Tu. If I need anything, I will certainly ask for your help."
Tu Xiangrui nodded, his tone gentle: "Okay, okay."
"By the way, little one, you've just come out of the secret realm, you must be tired. Why don't you come back to the Tu family with me and get some rest? I'll throw you a celebration banquet to commemorate your successful escape from the secret realm and the great opportunity you've obtained."
Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then shook his head, saying in a calm tone, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Tu, but I have some things to do right now, so I won't trouble you any further."
"I will visit you, senior, after I have finished dealing with my own matters."
Tu Xiangrui nodded and said gently, "Okay, okay, then I won't force you."
"Don't worry, no matter what you need, just ask, and the Tu family will help you anytime."
"Thank you very much, Senior Tu!"
Jiang Wang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Tu Xiangrui.
Tu Xiangrui smiled, nodded, and turned to leave the entrance of the Secret Realm Tower.
Seeing that even Tu Xiangrui treated Jiang Wang with such respect, the surrounding cultivators dared not be negligent in the slightest. They all bowed to Jiang Wang and said respectfully, "Greetings, Young Master Tu!"
Jiang Wang smiled faintly, waved to the surrounding cultivators, and said in a calm tone, "No need for formalities, everyone."
After saying that, Jiang Wang turned around and said to the Hunyuan Spirit Sparrow, "Let's go, leave this place, find a quiet place, cultivate properly for a while, and familiarize ourselves with the Nine Extremes Hunyuan Technique and the legacy of the Hunyuan Ancestor."
Jiang Wang nodded, then, with the Primordial Spirit Sparrow in tow, turned and left the entrance of the Secret Realm Tower, heading deeper into the Auspicious Realm.
The surrounding cultivators watched their departing figures with eyes full of awe and envy. They all knew that a rising star was about to shine brightly in the Auspicious Realm, and this rising star would surely become a powerful guardian of this world in the future.
Walking on the streets of the Auspicious Realm, the Primordial Spirit Sparrow curiously looked around at everything. Shops lined both sides of the street, and cultivators came and went, creating a lively scene that contrasted sharply with the desolate scene in the secret realm.
The Primordial Spirit Sparrow tugged at Jiang Wang's sleeve, its tone curious: "Young Master, is this the Auspicious Realm? It's so lively! Much more fun than the secret realm."
Jiang Wang smiled and said gently, "Yes, this is the Auspicious Realm, and the most prosperous city in the Auspicious Realm is Auspicious City."
There are many cultivators here, and lots of fun things to do. After we finish our cultivation, I'll show you around properly.
"Great! Thank you, young master!"
The Hunyuan Spirit Sparrow jumped up happily, its tone cheerful, like a child.
Seeing her cheerful expression, Jiang Wang smiled gently and said in a mild tone, "No need to thank me. In the future, I will take you to many more fun places and let you see the prosperity of this Auspicious Realm." Just then, a figure suddenly blocked Jiang Wang and the Primordial Spirit Sparrow's path. The figure was dressed in black, with a cold and stern face, exuding a chilling aura. His gaze fell on Jiang Wang with a hint of scrutiny and hostility, and his tone was icy: "You are Tu Xiaonai?"
Jiang Wang raised his eyes to look at the figure in black, his brows furrowing slightly, and said in a calm tone, "I am Tu Xiaonai. Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
The man in black sneered, his tone icy: "You don't need to know who I am. I only know that you have obtained the Nine Extremes Primordial Technique and the inheritance of the Primordial Ancestor. As long as you hand over these two items, I can spare your life. Otherwise, I will kill you and take away your opportunity!"
Jiang Wang smiled, his tone tinged with disdain: "You? You think you can steal my opportunity? I advise you to be sensible and get lost, or I won't hesitate to let you die here."
"you wanna die!"
The man in black roared, his body radiating a burst of spiritual light. A powerful aura emanated from him, reaching the peak of the Chaos Realm, even stronger than Jiang Wang's.
He raised his hand and clenched his fist, and a long black sword appeared in his hand. The sword gleamed with a cold light and exuded a strong killing intent. He slashed fiercely at Jiang Wang, his voice icy: "Little Tu, prepare to die!"
Jiang Wang's expression instantly turned serious. He could sense that this man in black was much stronger than Tu Hua, and even slightly stronger than him now.
He took a deep breath and activated the Nine Extremes Primordial Chaos Technique. The chaotic spiritual light around him surged instantly, enveloping himself and the Primordial Chaos Spirit Sparrow. At the same time, he gripped the Chaos Longsword and slashed fiercely at the black-clad man's longsword, his tone icy: "Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
With a deafening crash, the Chaos Sword and the Black Blade collided, unleashing a burst of chaotic power and black killing intent. A massive shockwave swept across the entire street, crushing surrounding shops into dust. Passing cultivators were thrown back by the shockwave, suffering severe injuries and groaning in agony.
Jiang Wang was forced back a few steps by the shock, his face slightly pale, and his aura slightly disordered. Clearly, taking this move had taken a toll on him.
The man in black was also forced back a few steps, his face pale as well. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his tone was icy: "I didn't expect you to be so strong, actually able to withstand one of my attacks! However, this is not enough. Next, I will make you die a horrible death!"
Jiang Wang smiled, his tone firm: "Is that so? Then I'll see just how capable you really are!" The voice of the Great Dao carried an undeniable weight, slowly lingering in Pangu's ears. Each word seemed to strike the chaotic jade, causing the Dao traces around his body to tremble slightly: "Invincible in the Primordial World? Pangu, you still underestimate this Primordial World too much, and you underestimate Jiang Wang, who is hiding in the shadows even more."
Pangu frowned sharply, his palm tightening involuntarily, his knuckles turning white. His tone was full of resentment: "Jiang Wang? He's just a rogue cultivator who rose to prominence halfway through his cultivation journey. Although I haven't fought him directly, I've heard that he's only at the fifth level of the Strength Realm, weaker than Luo Feifei of the Phoenix Clan. I'm currently at the peak of the second level of the Strength Realm, with nearly 40 billion units of Primordial Chaos Power. How could I be afraid of him?"
Do you know what kind of cultivation technique he practices? Do you know what kind of supreme treasure he possesses?
The voice of the Great Dao suddenly turned deep, carrying a hint of barely perceptible apprehension. "He is not cultivating the native techniques of the Primordial World, but the 'Primordial Chaos Breaking Heaven Technique' from the outer realms. That technique is incomparably domineering, capable of devouring the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and transforming it into one's own cultivation. It can also be compatible with all laws. Although your 'Nine Extremes Primordial Technique' is strong, it has already fallen behind in terms of the foundation of the technique."
Pangu's pupils shrank, and the arrogance on his face faded slightly, but he still remained defiant: "No matter how strong a technique is, it still depends on the user's strength! I have a talent for ten times the power of primordial chaos. Even if Jiang Wang's technique is unique, how strong can it be? Moreover, I am Pangu, who created the world, and I bear the merit of creating the world. Even the Great Dao has to give me some leeway. What kind of storm can a cultivator from outside the realm stir up?"
"The merit of creating heaven and earth?"
The voice of the Great Dao seemed to carry a hint of mockery, yet also a hint of helplessness: "Your merits from the creation of the world have already been mostly consumed in your numerous battles with the various races of the prehistoric world. What remains now is nothing more than scraps that barely support the foundation of your Great Dao."
As for Jiang Wang, he held a fragment of the Primordial Pearl in his hand, and was further enhanced by a fragment of the Chaos Bell. He was surrounded by the merits of all heavens, and even I, the Great Dao of the Primordial World, had to be wary of him and dared not easily provoke his sharpness.
"Fragments of the Primordial Pearl? Fragments of the Chaos Bell?"
Pangu gasped, his body trembling slightly, and a solemn expression finally appeared on his face. "How could such a Chaos Treasure fall into the hands of a cultivator from another realm? In the primordial world, even the True Dragon and Phoenix clans only possess one Chaos Spiritual Treasure. What virtue or ability does Jiang Wang have to possess fragments of two Chaos Treasures?"
"His origins are far more mysterious than you can imagine."
The voice of the Great Dao softened its tone, but still carried a hint of solemnity. "He is not an ordinary cultivator from beyond the realm, but rather a being born from the innate Dao body at the beginning of the primordial chaos. He is imbued with the fortune of all things, and even the Heavenly Dao has to give him some respect."
If you rashly return to the Primordial World now, and encounter Jiang Wang, not only will you fail to reclaim your position as the number one person in the Primordial World, but you will also suffer the fate of having your soul scattered and your Dao foundation destroyed.
Pangu fell silent, and his aura subsided. He looked down at his hands, where the fragrance of the Primordial Pear still lingered. The Primordial Power within him continued to surge slowly, but his ambitions were dampened by the voice of the Great Dao.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of resentment, yet also a touch of rationality: "Great Dao, is what you say true? Is Jiang Wang really that powerful?"
"I am the Primordial Great Dao, how could I deceive you?"
The voice of the Great Dao solemnly said, "Look, the primordial world is no longer what it was when you left."
When Jiang Wang first entered the prehistoric world, he single-handedly killed Ao Lie, the third prince of the Dragon Clan, and severely injured Ao Kun, an elder of the Dragon Clan. Even Ao Cang, the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, had to submit to him.
Later, he fought against Luo Feifei of the Phoenix Clan. Although he didn't kill her, he crippled 30% of her cultivation, causing the Phoenix Clan to decline from that point on.
"what?"
Pangu suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with shock. "Ao Lie is a genius that the Dragon Clan has only seen once in a hundred years. His cultivation has already reached the fourth level of the Strength Realm, and Ao Kun is an even stronger expert at the fifth level of the Strength Realm. How could Jiang Wang, who is only at the fifth level of the Strength Realm, kill Ao Lie and severely injure Ao Kun? And Luo Feifei, who is at the sixth level of the Strength Realm, he actually managed to cripple 30% of her cultivation?"
"This is the power of the Primordial Chaos Breaking Heaven Technique, and also the blessing power of the Chaos Treasure."
The voice of the Great Dao said, "Jiang Wang's cultivation level seems to be only at the fifth level of the Strength Realm, but his true combat strength has already surpassed the sixth level of the Strength Realm. Even a strong person at the seventh level of the Strength Realm may not be his match."
"You are currently at the peak of the second level of Strength, and your Primordial Chaos Power seems formidable, but in front of him, it is utterly insignificant."
Pangu's face darkened completely. He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking. His resentment grew stronger, yet he had to admit that the Dao's words were true.
He remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "According to the Great Dao, what should I do? Am I just going to be trapped here and watch Jiang Wang run rampant in the primordial world, taking away everything that should belong to me?"
"It's not about trapping you here, but about helping you calm your mind and focus on your cultivation."
The voice of the Great Dao said, "You still have a ripe Hunyuan fragrant pear in your hand, and you have not yet cultivated the Nine Extremes Hunyuan Technique to the third level."
"You only need to cultivate the Nine Extremes Primordial Chaos Technique to the third level, and then eat that Primordial Chaos Pear to raise your cultivation to the peak of the third level of Strength. At that time, your Primordial Chaos Power will exceed 80 billion, and your true combat strength will also increase significantly. Even if you encounter Jiang Wang, you will have the strength to fight him."
"Peak of the Third Heaven of Strength? Eight hundred billion units of Primordial Chaos Power?"
A glint flashed in Pangu's eyes, and his tone became more expectant, "If I could reach that level, could I truly fight Jiang Wang?"
"It's not a guaranteed victory, but it's not so easily defeated either."
The voice of the Great Dao said, "Moreover, you are the one who created the world, and you have the power of creation hidden within you. As long as you can perfectly integrate the power of creation with the Nine Extremes Primordial Chaos Technique, and further advance your cultivation to reach the fourth level of strength, then even if Jiang Wang has the support of the Chaos Treasure, he may not be able to defeat you."
Pangu nodded, his resentment gradually replaced by his determination to cultivate. He looked up towards the primordial world, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Very well! I will heed the words of the Great Dao and devote myself to cultivation. The day I achieve great success in my cultivation will be the day I return to the primordial world and compete with Jiang Wang! At that time, I will not only reclaim my throne as the number one person in the primordial world, but also seize the fragments of the Chaos Treasure in his hands, making him pay the price for his arrogance!"
"So good."
The voice of the Great Dao gradually faded away, "Remember, do not be impatient for quick success. Only by cultivating diligently can you achieve the Great Dao."
If you force your way forward, not only will you fail to improve your cultivation, but you will also suffer a qi deviation, leading to utter ruin.
After the sound of the Great Dao dissipated, Pangu slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and dispelled all distracting thoughts. He then sat cross-legged and began to diligently cultivate the Nine Extremes Primordial Chaos Technique. (End of Chapter)
