Jiang Ming looked at his inventory. It was quite abundant.

He felt rather uneasy so he called up the Human Path Records to check on his Junior Sister. He discovered there were not many changes. He scratched his head as he muttered to himself, “Am I worrying too much? She’s at the 9th Stage of the Golden Core Realm and has mastered many powerful spells. No one, not even the First Seats’ disciple, can harm her. Moreover, she can easily kill Purple Mansion cultivators and escape from ordinary Dao Seed cultivators. Why am I still worried? I feel like her father…”

Apart from that, Jiang Ming had also been worried about the Yinmo Sect and the Bishui Sect. He had a strong feeling that trouble was just around the corner. Moreover, his cultivation base was only in the Dao Seed Realm. This meant that he could only hold his own against Primal Spirit cultivators at most; he could not kill or defeat them at all. This made him feel very insecure.

After a moment, he cleared his head of unwanted thoughts and muttered, “I should cultivate now.”

Now that he was in the possession of a lot of Enlightening Tea Leaves and Enlightening Stones, coupled with the Earth Spiritual Fruit and Heaven Spiritual Fruit he had consumed, his cultivation should progress smoothly.

Jiang Ming brought out a teapot from his storage ring. With a wave of his hand, he brought out a stream of water from the spiritual spring and moved it into the teapot. Subsequently, he placed an Enlightening Tea Leaf into the pot and began to heat the pot with his hands. In just a moment, the water was already boiling. When it was finally done, he poured the tea into a teacup and blew on it before he took a sip.

Following that, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. As his mind merged with nature, he could keenly sense the wonders of nature, the principles of creation and reincarnation, and various Dao rhythms.

Whenever he comprehended a new Sambodha, he would form a new Dao Seed. He would continue to comprehend the Sambodha to grow the seeds. If he only had one Dao Seed, he would have long been able to break through the Nascent Soul Realm with the mana he had accumulated.

The next day. 

After Jiang Ming stopped cultivating, he fetched water, swept the courtyard, and made breakfast. Having breakfast alone reminded him of his junior sister’s absence. Hence, he called up the Human Path Records again to check on her. He also looked at Yue Cheng and Momo’s pages, but to his disappointment, there were no changes as well.

After breakfast, he went to the back of the mountain and thought about what else he could do with the farmland. While he walked to the back of the mountain, he called up the Human Path Records again.

A short while later, when he reached the bank of a lake, he brought out a fishing rod before he sat down. Similar to before, he felt compelled to call up the Human Path Records.

By midday, he had already called up the Human Path Records five times.

Jiang Ming smiled wryly. “Why am I so worried?”

As Jiang Ming made his way to the rooftop, he thought to himself resolutely, ‘From now on, I’ll check it once, no, twice a day at most. I’ll check it once in the morning and once at night.”

Following that, he sat in the pavilion with his legs crossed and began to cultivate.

The days continued to pass, and the mountains remained uneventful.

Jiang Ming used two to three Enlightening Tea Leaves daily. As a result, the Dao Seeds in his sea of consciousness continued to grow rapidly. At the same time, he spent time mastering his special ability as well. Although his cultivation base remained the same, his combat strength had grown stronger.

In just a blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

In the evening.

Next to the lake.

Jiang Ming was fishing silently at this moment. This remained part of his routine apart from cultivating.

Due to his unique cultivation method, it was easy for him to comprehend a Sambodha. To comprehend another Sambodha, he would need some time for the transitioning process. Daily menial tasks and manual labor were the best way for him to increase the speed of his cultivation.

At this time, Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up when his fishing rod sank slightly.

Without casting a spell or using a special ability, he reeled the fish in. A fish that was longer than 2 meters with pitch-black scales, a large mouth, and two whiskers leaped out of the lake. It flapped its body in a frenzy, stirring up waves on the previously calm surface of the lake.

[Ding! Congratulations on catching a 200-year-old Black Dragon Loach! Reward: A special ability, the Great Manifestation Technique!]

Jiang Ming was stunned when he heard the system notification. He knew about the Black Dragon Loach. Since it carried a trace amount of the dragon bloodline, it could evolve into a dragon once its cultivation base reached a certain stage. A 200-year-old Black Dragon Loach had a strong internal force so it was equivalent to being in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Based on Jiang Ming’s speculation, the Black Dragon Loach must have been wandering the mountain streams that led to the lake since it did not know how to cultivate demonic energy.

Now that the spiritual energy in Chuyang Peak had soared, it was only natural that the lake here was dense with spiritual energy as well. As a result, it attracted the Black Dragon Loach.

‘I’ll let it live for now, and stew it for Junior Sister when she returns…’ Jiang Ming thought to himself as he returned the Black Dragon Loach to the lake.

The Black Dragon Loach swam away swiftly, vanishing from sight in just an instant.

Following that, Jiang Ming looked at the special ability, the Great Manifestation Technique, that he had just received.

It was a great spell to create a clone of himself. An ordinary manifestation technique relied on one’s mana. This meant that the clone would not last for a long time, and it was not very strong. On the other hand, the Great Manifestation Technique did not only rely on mana. One could also rely on one’s blood essence or a spiritual object to power the clone. High-grade spirit items could carry more of their owners’ powers. Apart from that, the power could be restored after it was depleted. This meant that the clone would not vanish quickly.

“This is great!” Jiang Ming was ecstatic. This reward was the best reward he had received over the past few days.

“After I form a clone of myself, I can leave the mountain easily,” Jiang Ming said to himself excitedly.

In fact, he had wanted to see the world beyond the mountain. However, due to his low cultivation base and safety, he thought it was best to stay on the mountain.

After obtaining the system, his cultivation had improved greatly. However, for some reason, he still remained on the mountain.

After he put away the fishing rod, he returned to his room.

He brewed a pot of tea before he began to comprehend the special ability. It took him the time to finish a cup of tea to master the special ability to the rudimentary stage.

When he opened his eyes, he exhaled a wisp of vital energy. There was a flash of light before a figure that was identical to him appeared in front of him.

‘A clone formed from vital energy is the lowest level of manifestation. It only carries a wisp of my consciousness and less than a millionth of my strength. Moreover, I won’t be able to recover the depleted power. It’s like a disposable item…’ Jiang Ming thought to himself. He knew that manifesting a duplicate of himself meant he would have to divide his consciousness into two so that he could do two things at once.

Swoosh!

The clone vanished along with the vital energy; only the wisp of consciousness returned to him.

Following that, Jiang Ming rose to his feet and moved his hand, releasing strands of consciousness and Qi to form 81 clones of himself.

“Amazing!”

His 81 clones were capable of acting on their own. They looked at each other at this moment as though they were sizing each other up.

“The clones are quite flawless…”

After a while, Jiang Ming finally withdrew the clones. After all, he had no use for them now.

‘I should spend more time mastering this technique so I can form a clone whose energy can be recovered…’

At this time, night had already fallen. The moon illuminated the night sky as the stars shone next to it.

Jiang Ming called up the Human Path Records to check on his junior sister again.
