The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 184

The power of the Five Dragons Heaven Opening Pill was indeed cruel and ferocious. Even with Jiang Chen's direction, the power of the martial dao formed into an attack that was practically a huge explosion within his body.    

That said, the pain inflicted on the human body from this kind of attack was quite frightening.    

Even with Jiang Chen's strong foundation in true qi realm, he was still in so much pain from this kind of attack that his forehead broke out in cold sweat.    

It was as if his vital organs and entrails were being stirred and reformed, before being stirred and reformed once more.    

This cycle repeated itself as five waves of tyrannical power raged through Jiang Chen's system.    

Time passed day after day in the middle of this never ending cycle.    

As time went on, Jiang Chen became accustomed to the pain this attack inflicted. The five sources of raging power were also slowly tamed and gradually pacified within Jiang Chen's body.    

As for Jiang Chen's dantien, it had turned into a turbid gray ball, as if it was a sea of stars within an infinite void, giving a person a subtle feeling.    

Jiang Chen observed himself internally and learned that the initial step of pill modification on his body had been completed. A young ocean form of qi had formed within his dantien.    

“Hmm, the persistence of this sea qi is not bad.” Jiang Chen investigated a little and discovered that the sea of gray and misty qi seemed to contain a powerful force.    

Jiang Chen opened his eyes, disbelief written all over his face. “Who would have thought that attacking the spirit realm would work out easily!”    

It was indeed easier than Jiang Chen had expected. Although the power of the Five Dragons Heaven Opening Pill was extremely strong, it would only make Jiang Chen experience painful trials, instead of giving him a reasonable danger.    

The most important thing was, Jiang Chen thought he needed to be behind closed doors for a while, but ever since he took the pill until the sea of qi first formed, it had not been seven days.    

“It looks like the time it takes is less than I thought?”    

Jiang Chen was quite satisfied with the results of his closed door cultivation this time.    

'Who would have thought that I was still in the true qi realm before cultivating with the door closed. Seven days later, I am truly a spirit realm practitioner now.”    

Jiang Chen was different from the other practitioners. Most could not even imagine the path an ordinary practitioner would have to take to turn true qi into spirit.    

However, Jiang Chen had memories from his past life and help from heaven-defying pills like the Five Dragons Heaven Opening Pill. This dual advantage made him unnecessarily experience the development of the half-step spirit realm like many other practitioners.    

He was a spirit realm practitioner in name and strength now.    

Although his sea of spirits had just formed, it was no exaggeration to say that thanks to the pill forging this sea of spirits, his level might not be strong, but he was actually at the peak in terms of potential.    

“The spirit of the ocean has formed, as if wings have been added to my back. Now, I have to upgrade my other area.”    

“God's Eye Art, Zephyr's Ear, and Great Stone Heart all progress steadily. Now that I have entered the spirit realm, it certainly takes greater effort before my goal can be achieved. Four great arts that I could not train before entering the spirit realm can finally be mastered now!”    

Jiang Chen happiest could train “Psychic Head”.    

This is the most important art among the four additional arts in “Moonshatter” Flying Daggers.    

It can be said that “Psychis” Head combines the mysteries of the previous three mysteries, concentrating the seven senses of the human body into one. After gathering mental strength, the seven senses experienced a breakthrough to resonate with each other, after which it chased after the illuminated seventh sense realm.    

If he succeeds in his training, then his strength will double as if adding wings to a tiger.    

The most important thing is that he can practice attacking with mystery “Moonshatter” Flying Daggers.    

“So it turns out that the Psychic Head uses the spirit power within the body to stimulate the seven senses and form perceptions that illuminate them. It is indeed an amazing art.”    

Jiang Chen felt that this art was truly amazing when he started training it.    

“The Psychic Head lifts the five senses of the human body into seven senses, then forms a resonance between them. Thus, even though I was in the middle of a blaze, sunk in the deep sea, or caught in the abyss of the earth, I could still move as if walking on land without any obstacles at all. ”    

The Psychic Head means that all your senses can be used as you wish, as if he has his own consciousness and heart.    

After three more days, Jiang Chen once again inventory his gains.    

“That's good, the God's Eye and Zephyr's Ear have repeatedly broken through after my breakthrough to the spirit realm. They were already at the ninth level, whereas Boulder's Heart had also reached the fifth level. Psychic Head has actually opened the door to the second level after three days!”    

Jiang Chen was very satisfied with what he reaped.    

“This is not bad. My current condition makes me fully qualified to practice great techniques. The lowest requirements of the great technique of 'Moon Destruction Flying Dagger' are the God's Eye and Zephyr's Ear should all be at level seven, Boulder's Heart at level five, and Psychic Head at level two.”    

“Now, other than the Psychic Chief who had just reached the requirements, the other three had far exceeded their requirements. It's time to practice great techniques!”    

Jiang Chen had discovered that even though he had many ways to attack, he was still a little lacking in terms of being able to launch a fatal attack.    

This would resolve an urgent situation like a fire singing its eyebrows.    

“Great technique at the initial stage of strength – Shape Flying Eagle, Tiger Shape Pouncing!”    

“Both are great techniques in the early stages of power. I should probably learn both.” Jiang Chen thought as he began to study the mysteries of the two.    

The shape of the Flying Eagle mandates an understanding of the mysteries of the wind, as it uses wind rhythms to inflict strange and unexpected injuries.    

On the contrary, the Pouncing Tiger Form emphasized the unrestrained ferocity of the water. It was as if surging waves and seas were pouncing on like a leaping wolf, engulfing the opponent completely.    

“If these two great techniques are combined with each other, they will complement each other well.” Jiang Chen discovered that the creator of the Moonshatter Flying Dagger was truly wise, as the two great techniques at the early stages of power were actually complementary.    

A truly amazing innovation suddenly flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.    

“Mm? When I practiced the Divine Aeon Fist, one of my hands was the moon and the other hand was the sun. Will there be a very different effect if I combine the meaning of Divine Aeon Boxing with these two great techniques? Eagle Flies with left hand, Pounces Tiger with right hand. They will be like the moon and the sun. Opponents will definitely not know how to survive this kind of attack!”    

This sudden thought greatly aroused Jiang Chen's interest.    

At this moment, he was like a ferocious beast that was not picky in its hunger. This martial technique was his prey and his food which he consumed greedily.    

Another half a month passed…    

“Hoo! It seemed like there were many changes along the path of martial dao. One cannot stay the same forever. Two great techniques from the early stages of strength can be used individually and can be combined after the changes I made. However when the two were combined, their strength would be equivalent to a great intermediate strength technique!”    

Jiang Chen was overjoyed. With his knowledge of martial dao, this kind of experiment was only a small effort.    

“If I currently meet those Northern Palace disciples, I should be able to kill them in a matter of seconds. Even if I meet that Liu Can, I still have a seventy to eighty percent chance of defeating him if I combine great techniques!”    

Jiang Chen was very confident.    

Jiang Chen consolidated back his grasp on the Divine Aeon Fist and the Extensive Ocean Current Separator next. After entering the spirit realm, all of his martial techniques were once again improved in all aspects. In particular, the attack power had undergone a great change.    

“Tutor Ye gave me the Skylaurel Kingdom Medal most likely because he entrusted some kind of hope to me. However, his words were true. I, Jiang Chen, am myself. I don't need to limit my actions to anyone. I have to do whatever I think is right. What is the need for me to concern myself with the thoughts of others? What about the first prince? What about the Northern Palace? Why would I, Jiang Chen, have to accommodate these people? From now on, I will trample on anyone who becomes a stumbling block or barrier in my martial path!    

After breaking through to the spirit realm, Jiang Chen's confidence increased by quite a lot.    

Currently, Jiang Chen remained behind closed doors for an entire month.    

“Young Master, you emerged from the closed door?”    

"Young Master!"    

Jiang Chen's gaze swept over his followers one by one. “Alright, good, it seems like you guys have not relaxed your training all this time because you all have improved.”    

Xue Tong in particular did not disappoint Jiang Chen. He had broken through the ranks of true qi masters just as he had expected.    

“Xue Tong, I am amazed by your potential. I will work hard striving to become the second person to break through to the realm of a true qi master!” Guo Jin refused to miss.    

In this month, Guo Jin, Wen Ziqi, and the Qiao brothers had all broken through eight meridians of true qi and entered the nine meridians.    

The other three were slightly slower when compared, but they could enter the nine meridians of true qi at any time.    

When he heard Guo Jin voice such high and aspirational words, Qiao Shan exclaimed, “Yo, Guo! Number two must be mine.”    

“Do not forget me, Qiao Chuan!”    

Although Wen Ziqi did not say much, her beautiful eyes also exuded a thick sense of competition.    

“Good if you can compete. But you are also brothers. Remember to compete in a friendly way and keep your limits in mind.” Jiang Chen warned.    

Xue Tong smiled, “Relax young master, I will keep an eye on them at all times.”    

Gouyu also smiled, “If this bunch of hooligans dare to rebel, I will be the first to destroy them.”    

Ever since Gouyu became Jiang Chen's follower, he had done an incredible job in handling internal and external affairs. This made Jiang Chen feel a little embarrassed.    

“Gouyu, come with me for a minute.” Jiang Chen gestured and led him to the secret room.    

“Jiang Chen, you...” Although Gouyu has an open and forthright personality, the space with the secret room is narrow and limited. It makes him feel a little uncomfortable.    

“What's stuttering about you and me? You have already endured enough in the eleven meridians of true qi. What opinions do you have with respect to the understanding of the spirit realm?”    

A light shone in Gouyu's beautiful eyes. “Jiang Chen, do you mean to give me a hint?”    

“Are you still that martial dao-holic Gouyu? Are you insecure when no one gives you a clue?”    

Chest full Gouyu puffed. “Jiang Chen, don't underestimate me. I have never stopped practicing martial dao. I, Gouyu, will become a spirit realm practitioner! I will prove to those sects that I, Gouyu, can still enter the spirit realm even without their resources! I am not inferior in the least to the so-called innate constitution.”
